Yup.
Just that, capital translating to power is not a universal truth. Historically too, various recipes have tasted success to move up power ladders. Be it high moral values, smart statecraft, peaceful bottom-up people movements-art-science, or worse like violence, anarchy, barbarism; or a hotch-potch of all those!
Will be fun to watch how things pan out today!
- komali2 5mo agoCould be worth giving anarchy another look - try Kropotkin's "Anarchist Communism" for a brief overview, or the conquest of bread. It's not an inherently violent ideology at all :) you could also look into Keith McHenry and his rewrite of the anarchist cookbook.
- samantp 5mo agoThanks. Had read some Kropotkin, will check out McHenry. For a while, have been finding an affinity with MN Roy with his “cultural prerequisites of freedom” and “radical humanism”. But yes, completely agree that modeling all the world’s complexity into a any grand ism is being foolishly ambitious.
