Resilient Communities and Local Economies

C4SS Research Associate Kevin Carson’s sixth study — SOCIETY AFTER STATE CAPITALISM: Resilient Communities and Local Economies [PDF].

Resilient Communities: Society After State Capitalism

By Kevin Carson

“For centuries, as described by Pyotr Kropotkin and other thinkers, the institutions of civil society have been crowded out or actively suppressed by the state. As the state capitalist system reaches its limits and the state exhausts its capacity to prop up the system further, we can expect a revival of civil society—a Great Thaw in which all the human capacities for voluntary cooperation and mutual aid, atrophied for so long, will revive and flourish. Past examples and current experiments in creating resilient local communities are especially promising building blocks for a post-corporate society.”

  1. You sound like the megalomaniac “cult of personality” delusional syndrome, Trevor Goodchild, the treacherously Nihilistic, would be “Liberator” or leader of a “liberated” confederate seceded city-state of “Bregna”, from the “Aeon Flux” cartoon narrative, from MTv’s “Liquid Television”, who subscribes to “the Strong should survive but the Weak must die” Social Darwinistic heartless pseudo-thinking, pretending to be a benevolent revolutionary.
    He says, “My perfect dream is a dream to awaken our world to my way of thinking!”

    But just like Aeon Flux says to Trevor Goodchild, “You’re out of your mind and out of control.”
    Trevor says, “I Take control!” “Who’s side are you on?!”
    Aeon Flux says, “I take no side, besides compassion for the helpless, alleviating suffering & strengthening the weak, instead of letting them die”
    Trevor says, “You’re skating the edge!”
    Aeon Flux says, “I am the edge…”
    Trevor says, “What you need only I can give!!”
    Aeon Flux says, “You can’t give it, you can’t even buy it!” and finishes, “And, you just “don’t get it”!”
