Reply To: Climate Crisis: Our Last Chance
Hi Marcos,
You have encouraged me recently, sharing the fact you had been in my position over 5-6 years ago.
I see the end game: socialism is a mode of production, and it is the key mode, the true finish line, and one that is kindest to the ecosystem, and all who travel on its surface. That sounds positive.
I mentioned socialism in a local election- as a very large group of people identified and deliberately voted for Socialism. They did not vote, liberal, labor nor green, but Socialism. They disregarded the capitalist ideology that provokes the notion of socialism with anxiety, dangerous, or something bad will happen. They developed a common political association, a community- and with intentional consciousness, decided.
I know there is a way to go, but for a moment, I saw a glimpse of that ‘in the last instance’: a majority, a socialist democratic majority is possible. It will take a while: conflating time with numbers and the democratic will can blossom into a socialist reality.
The environment and all of us need it- but I hope that antagonistic point of transition is deep democracy.
Marcos, thank you for your guidance, and cautions- I still may need it!
Comrades, be well,
L.B Neill
