It would require several simultaneous grass roots movements globally rising up, or the complete collapse of the global economy.
Trump's on his way to obliterating the petrodollar ...
So how would you get those going?
Well, you could launch a war with Iran, for one. That's looking like a good way to destroy the global economy.
we're doing it already, climate change
Lovely
The global economical system with its built in assumption of infinite growth is on a collision course with the material realities of the world. So it will either change drastically, or collapse. The latter seems much more likely.
I think cracks will form and new, more local, decentralized and equitable frameworks will sprout from those cracks as people help each other, because the system can't or wont help them.
That is an excellent question.
I am eager to hear your excellent answer. No thought about a better world is a wasted one, gimme gimme.
I am neither capable of creating international uprisings or the destruction of the machine of capitalism. I don't know why you would expect me to.
But you are capable of thinking about it. That's all we are doing here.
Why don't you start by an example?
Find a common goal that catches peoples interest and is widely agreeable/acceptable but goes against current politics.
Castrating people in the Epstein files?
Many organizations with loose leadership but all with common goals.
That way taking out a leader or even cluster of the movement won't stop it but just fuel increased determination of the others.
At least that's what I heard is one way that one side can win against enemies with more tech , weapons, and troops than they.
Also. Let's not downplay guerilla tactics.
They have always been effective against a bigger enemy.
