I still think the revolution is to make the world safe for poetry, meandering, for the frail and vulnerable, the rare and obscure, the impractical and local and small.

The power of large corporations is still a scourge on the earth, but at least the arguments supporting them are undermined now.

It's hardly surprising that the corporate aliens lie when it comes to the relationship between doing something about climate change and the economy.

As for me, the grounds of my hope have always been that history is wilder than our imagination of it and that the unexpected shows up far more regularly than we ever dream.

People are actually very good at being communists in the sense that they instantly abandon capitalism, that they love these relationships of mutual aid, because the astonishing thing about disasters is that people are often weirdly joyous in them, because they've recovered a sense of agency, a sense of power, etc.

I think that walking down the middle of the street with several thousand people who share your deepest beliefs is one of the best ways to take a walk.

A contrarian at heart, I am often guided by what I disagree with and don't want.
