Surviving Capitalism (Not) : We Have Bigger Abbortive Problems Than Abortion

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

We Have Bigger Abbortive Problems Than Abortion

This piece is not terribly profound, but the point is so creatively expressed. He/she teases us into becoming critical thinkers! This is important because without critical thinking, there is no hope that we can solve the multi-dimensional crises we are now facing. So, stop performing abortions on your ideas!
