OscailtBroken world, broken people – we need a path to a better futureWe are living in a world that for most people is broken and that has broken most people.

All is not lost though. There has historically been a section within the progressive movement – in different parts of the world and in South Africa – based around forms of radically democratic socialism that has not only tapped into the righteous anger of the working class, but has also sought to create a home and sense of belonging for people based on progressive values and principles such as mutual aid, solidarity and even love. If we want a better world, we need to revive the popularity of the types of politics, ethics, values, principles and practices that formed the essence – at their best – of such movements and update it for the context of the 21st century.2023-07-12T23:17:05+08:00Anarkismoanarkismoeditors@lists.riseup.nethttp://www.anarkismo.net/atomfullposts?story_id=32154http://www.anarkismo.net/graphics/feedlogo.gifInterestinghttp://www.anarkismo.net/article/32154#comment216022023-07-12T23:17:05+08:00KateIt won't be simple to turn this brand of politics back into a force that is supp...It won't be simple to turn this brand of politics back into a force that is supported by the majority of the population.
