If we once and for so long lived in balance with nature and each other, we should be able to do so again. The catastrophe that's overtaking us has deep roots, but our previous state of natural anarchy reaches much further into our shared history .

We can either passively continue on the road to utter domestication and destruction or turn in the direction of joyful upheaval, passionate and feral embrace of wildness and life that aims at dancing on the ruins of clocks, computers and that failure of imagination and will called work. Can we justify our lives by anything less than such a politics of rage and dreams?

"The people" aren't running anything. That's why technology has replaced politics as the source of ideology. The ideological claims are hollow and absurd, and nobody believes them anymore.

If we once, and for so long, lived in balance with nature and each other, we should be able to do so again.

I think pushing the ideas is important. I wouldn't say it's more important than action. You can't really separate the two.

There's a hollowness to civilized life. It doesn't appeal to people, and some people react with extreme violence.

I don't think it could be a coincidence that the more technological a society is, the less it connects people.
