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

"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.

We live in an era with no real sense of community or connection to nature.

Republicans don't want to shrink government. They want more and more military, more and more surveillance. They'd like to have the government banning gay marriage and so forth.
