Basics

One facet of the world-wide movement against a "globalization" that impoverishes most human beings for the "benefit" of a few, & blights the lives of all with the threat of devastating violence, is to declare independence from states & giant corporations, & a recommit ourselves to local spaces, local identities, local decision-making, & insofar as possible the self-sufficiency of local economies. When economic & political decisions are made by those who will have to live with their consequences, they are less likely to be harmful to humanity & nature than when they are made for short-term profit by people far away who are unconcerned with their consequences.
