CW: There’s no time left not to do everything
How does #change for the better happen? Can our political system deliver the huge changes we need, as urgently as we need them?
I’ve long argued that, in order to tackle the #ClimateCrisis, we need radical political, economic and cultural #transformation. And I’ve always been told that we don’t have time for that.
This week, we’ve seen the real-time impacts of the environment movement’s refusal to think outside the box of existing political power. And the Greens’ failure (thus far) to build the social movements necessary to support our parliamentary negotiations. And, most starkly, the complete corruption of our mainstream politics - the fact that Labor and the press gallery act as mouthpieces for the fossil fuel industry and believe political manoeuvring is more important than stopping omnicide.
I thought this would be a good time to re-share this essay I wrote a couple of years ago, explaining my #TheoryOfChange in this moment of #polycrisis.
It draws on ideas of #ecologicalDemocracy and #EcoAnarchism, and forms the basis of a chunk of the last chapter of #LivingDemocracy.

"For community wealth building to work among tribal nations, it must match indigenous philosophies and values. It must be-come the community’s own by grounding the frame in the cultural values of the community and translating it into the lived realities of the people."
