Why the Peace Movement Failed?
Deep underneath all efforts to transform from a War-like culture to a more peaceful one, is a deeply flawed economic systems that promotes scarcity in an abundant world, extraction, exploitation and the colonization of lands the people that inhabit the lands.
When we transform our fundamental systems that manage our lives away from the existing ones towards decentralized and interconnected locally owned, produced and distributed, we can begin the real peace project.
By transforming our public services from multinational corporations to locally owned, produced and distributed… we can change the outcome and our addictions to a very sick system.
