I’ve been remiss

. . . to say: “The greening of society will require eco-socialism at the macro level, but a great deal of ‘building the new within the shell of the old’ at the micro level. The latter will be regenerative by focusing on a more immediate, re-localized relationship to the land; decentralization and revitalization of local community life.”

Fine, but we should be talking about three levels <<<<<<<
. vote into power eco-socialist regimes at the macro level
. preparation of potential bioregional sovereignties (to gradually take over governmental functions as the extant unsustainable nation-states collapse) at the intermediate level
. building the new within the shell of the old at the micro level
