Mass society has displaced real community, where people function together and account for their own lives.
John ZerzanI think pushing the ideas is important. I wouldn't say it's more important than action. You can't really separate the two.

John ZerzanEveryone can feel the nothingness, the void, just beneath the surface of everyday routines and securities.
John ZerzanNever before have people been so infantalized, made so dependant on the machine for everything; as the earth rapidly approaches its extinction due to technology, our souls are shrunk and flattened by its pervasive rule. Any sense of wholeness and freedom can only return by the undoing of the massive division of labour at the heart of technological progress. This is the liberatory project in all its depth.
