Keep trying

Fifty years ago the idea of “The Greening of America” became generalized into the greening of society.

We were naive about how difficult it would be to bring to fruition. But we should keep trying:

It’s based on the recognition that individuals and families living more righteously is important but won’t get us far enough toward the transformation that’s needed. At a more macro level we need to develop a network of countercultural enclaves.

These days the impetus for such manifests as the Transition Towns and ecovillage movements. They need to have a broad social change vision. Their work should lead to the NCCESR: the Network of Communities Committed to Ecological and Social Responsibility.

When there’s a critical mass of NCCESR enclaves in a given area there could be a bioregional secession from the Leviathan.

Reforming the politics and praxis of the industrial state is good work, to the extent that it’s possible, but our salvation ultimately lies with something like the NCCESR.
