Volume 2: Occupy Vision
by Michael Albert & Mark Evans
Occupy Vision addresses economics, politics, kinship, culture, ecology, and international relations. For each, it offers an alternative way of conducting life based on new guiding values and institutional arrangements. The result is not capitalist, not 20th century socialist, not authoritarian, not sexist or heterosexist, not racist or nationalistic, not ecocidal, and not imperialist. It is, instead, participatory economic, self managing, feminist, intercommunalist, and peaceful. It is solidarity, horizontalism, and self management made viable.
