Anarchism

Anarchism is a social and political theory and practice that works for a free society without domination and hierarchy.

Social Ecology

Social Ecology, developed from green anarchism, is the idea that our ecological problems have their ultimate roots in our social problems. This is because the domination of nature and our ecology by humanity has its ultimate roots in the domination humanity by humans. Therefore, the solutions to our ecological problems are found by addressing our social and ecological problems simultaneously.

Quotes

Poetry and imagination must be integrated with science and technology, for we have evolved beyond an innocence that can be nourished exclusively by myths and dreams.

~ Murray Bookchin, The Ecology of Freedom

People want to treat ‘we’ll figure it out by working to get there’ as some sort of rhetorical evasion instead of being a fundamental expression of trust in the power of conscious collective effort.

~Anonymous, but quoted by Mariame Kaba, We Do This 'Til We Free Us

The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.

~Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.

~Murray Bookchin, "A Politics for the Twenty-First Century"

There can be no separation of the revolutionary process from the revolutionary goal. A society based on self-administration must be achieved by means of self-administration.

~Murray Bookchin, Post Scarcity Anarchism

In modern times humans have become a wolf not only to humans, but to all nature.

~Abdullah Öcalan

The ecological question is fundamentally solved as the system is repressed and a socialist social system develops. That does not mean you cannot do something for the environment right away. On the contrary, it is necessary to combine the fight for the environment with the struggle for a general social revolution...

~Abdullah Öcalan

Social ecology advances a message that calls not only for a society free of hierarchy and hierarchical sensibilities, but for an ethics that places humanity in the natural world as an agent for rendering evolution social and natural fully self-conscious.

~ Murray Bookchin

The migrant camps being set up in USA today is worse if not similar to the internment camps made for the japanese-americans during world war 2. (lemy.lol)

In USA, both US citizens and immigrants are being caught and sent to detention centers or immigration camps. There the people will be kept and will be deported to another country on a later date. And that person will be deported to another country irrespective of whether he or she originated from there or not. It is even worse than what the USA did during the world war 2 to the japanese americans. During the war the japanese americans were forcefully relocated to internment camps. It is very shameful period of US american history. Probably in 60 or more years later people will read about these events in their history books. They will understand how a deranged president did all these. And the fact that the USA president had support of majority of people. USA needs a revolution today. Just like the american revolutionary war a similar war needs to be fought by the sane people of USA. Otherwise whatever good that has been achieved since July, 4th 1776 will all be lost.

What about the outcome of the american revolutionary war ?

A lot of angst for black people, and native americans back then and today is the inevitable outcome.
