During these times that can feel so hopeless and disempowering, Milstein encourages us to collectively dream of the futures we can build together.
So much of what keeps us stuck is a lack of imagination: there is only a two-party system, only a patriarchy, only capitalism. Anything other than what already exists is discredited as utopian at best and dangerous at worst. But what if there was an alternative to our current atomized way of living? What if, instead, we (re)build rich and vibrant communities where we could not only survive but thrive? Try Anarchism for Life helps us to ask those very questions, so we can see where they may lead us.
Another world is possible

🌱“[In] the world we live in, it's easy to feel a sense of hopelessness, that everything is all bad all the time, that nothing is going to change ever, that people are evil and bad at the bottom. It feels sometimes that it's being proven in various different ways, so I really get that. I understand why people feel that way. I just choose differently. I choose to think a different way, and I choose to act in a different way. I choose to trust people until they prove themselves untrustworthy.
“Jim Wallace, who people know as a liberal Evangelical, who thinks about faith a lot and talks about faith a lot, he always talks about the fact that hope is really believing in spite of the evidence and watching the evidence change. And that, to me, makes total sense. I believe ultimately that we're going to win, because I believe there are more people who want justice, real justice, than there are those who are working against that.”
