"I believe that the days of centralised power are numbered, and that a re-tribalisation of society is an inevitable, if sometimes painful, process...everyone has skills and strenghts to offer and may form ecology parties or local action groups to challenge the politics of our local and state governments, to demand the use of public lands on behalf of landless people, and to join internationally to divert resources from waste and destruction to conservation and construction.
I believe we must change our philosophy before anything else changes. Change the philosophy of competition to that of cooperation in free associations, change the individual for the tribe, petrol for calories, and money for products.
But the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If onlt 10% of us do this, there is enough fro everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries, who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."
