How The Resistance Wins
How will our resistance function and win? See this essay free HERE.
Neither I, nor The Saners (our group) invented the approach. We simply read about it, studied it, and learned it. We are followers and proponents of nonviolent noncooperation. This is the strategy that is morally-sound and that effectively enables ordinary people to change society dramatically for the better.
We need this now. We need to execute this strategy to the best of our ability. Perfection is not possible or necessary. But competence and determination is.
We have an advantage. Pioneers preceded us, blazing a path and showing us the way. Unlike Gandhi and King, we do not need to simultaneously invent and execute our strategy. True, we need to adapt tactics to our current time and situation. But we have some very solid, proven examples and principles to guide us.
And that’s why so many movements in recent decades were started and promoted by rather ordinary people—not towering historical figures of the magnitude of Gandhi and King. We need to be caring and competent, but we are not required to be geniuses.
We can do this. We can disempower fascists and plutocrats. We can take control and stabilize the Earth’s damaged environment. We can replace a cruel heartless civilization with a kind caring one.
