Just knowing that we're not alone sharing these concerns, that consciousness is growing, is very much precious. Might not be much in the balance, you will say. Of course, it doesn't change something by itself, but reaching a critical mass of concerned people has always been a crucial step in bringing about change.
Also, we have to start the change with ourselves, step by step, instead of just sitting on our collective asses waiting for the high ups to do something. We must signify them our refusal, but doing so while wildly consuming what they're spoon-feeding us won't be much convincing to their eyes.
Yes, I'm afraid we're not being fast enough. But every little thing we can do to soften the blow will make a difference.
Often times we're paralyzed because it's hard to think of alternatives. We are in a socio-historical context where neo-liberalism seems soooo pervasive as to display itself as the only possibility there is, everything else being utopia.
You know what, with the mess we're doing with our very concrete «lucide» reality, I think it's worth scratching our minds for alternatives. I must admit I'm very much curious about what anarchist theories have to offer. My questions are not all answered yet, but some part of these seem very sensible to my eyes. I'll post some stuff on it in the near future.
