1) Sacred Existence and Spiritual Reciprocity: We understand existence as relational, changing, and participatory. By a being, we mean anything that exists. Relationships are the connections through which beings affect, […]
One of the principles we need to carry into the liberatory society is anti-cruelty. This matters precisely because liberation requires us to confront people, institutions, and movements that may be actively hostile to liberation. We are going to encounter reactionaries, authoritarians, fascists, racists, queerphobes, misogynists, and people who want to preserve systems of domination. We need to be capable of […]
One of the things we have to understand clearly is that authoritarian socialism is not the same thing as liberation, and the existence of social programs under an authoritarian state does not automatically make that state socialist in the emancipatory sense. This matters because people often point to achievements such as universal healthcare or mass education as though those things […]
The liberatory society is the society organized around the idea that people should have real power over their own lives, rather than being dominated by governments, employers, landlords, corporations, patriarchal institutions, racial hierarchies, or any other structure that treats some people as rulers and others as subjects. When we talk about the liberatory society, we are talking about one broader […]
A lot of people are attracted to Marxism-Leninism because authoritarian systems can look effective from the outside. They can build quickly, move resources quickly, reorganize cities quickly, punish corruption quickly, and carry out enormous projects without spending years asking whether everybody affected agrees. That speed can be mistaken for liberation. But there is a huge difference between getting something done […]
I think spirituality and religion have to be taken seriously in any truly liberatory society, because human beings do not live only through economics, law, and politics. We also live through meaning, ritual, grief, awe, memory, mystery, death, hope, belonging, and the question of what our lives are for. A communalist, libertarian municipalist, and democratic confederalist society cannot simply inherit […]
I do not really consider myself a leftist, and I do not consider myself a Marxist either. I am a socialist, but my socialism does not come primarily through Marx. It comes much more from utopian socialism, religious socialism, older communal traditions, Indigenous and BIPOC forms of communal life, reciprocity, mutual obligation, shared stewardship, and the idea that human beings […]
I have been thinking a lot about how genuinely social-revolutionary communalism, libertarian municipalism, and democratic confederalism actually are. They do not just ask for a kinder version of the present world. They ask us to imagine a society that exists after capitalism, after domination, after the centralized state, after hierarchy has stopped being treated as the natural structure of human […]
This one’s going to be unpopular but we need to say something that many people are too anxious, too angry, or too captured by capitalist fear to say clearly: AI art training is not automatically stealing. Learning from existing work is part of how art has always lived. No artist emerges from nothing. Culture is not born from sealed private […]
The true path forward for human liberation and ecological survival does not lie in authoritarian state socialism, nor in an unchecked libertarian individualism. It lies in building deeply democratic, cooperative, ecological communities—a vision best embodied in communalism, as advanced by Murray Bookchin. This is the most radical and genuinely progressive form of leftism, because it centers people, community, and the […]
It’s time to say something that a lot of people in leftist spaces already know, but don’t always feel safe enough to say out loud: a lot of socialists aren’t actually progressive. That might sound strange at first. After all, socialism is supposed to be about justice, equality, and liberation. But in practice, many self-identified socialists are only focused on […]
