From "Ecology and Revolutionary Thought" - Lewis Herber (Murray Bookchin)
"If the meshing of ecological and anarchist principles is ever achieved in practice, social life would yield a sensitive development of human and natural diversity, falling together into a well-balanced, harmonious unity. Ranging from community through region to entire continents, we would see a colorful differentiation of human groups and ecosystems, each developing its unique potentialities and exposing members of the community to a wide spectrum of economic, cultural, and behavioral stimuli.

Of course, countless thinkers from Abdullah Öcalan to Murray Bookchin to Stafford Beer talked about levels of coordination among decentralized actors, giving it various names.
But could we make sure that every time we talk about decentralization, we always include coordination?
Could coordinated decentralization become our new term for decentralization?

La suite dans le fil.
