Ignore the Quitters. Democracy Survives Only Through Relentless Engagement

Every democratic advance came from people who refused to ignore and quit. Disengagement is not strategy—it’s surrender.

"In this Conversation on Anarres, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Ursula K. Le Guin's classic novel, The Dispossessed. We talk with Dr. Alexis Shotwell who is working to spell out Le Guin's anarchist philosophy. Shotwell speculates as to the features of "Odoian anarchism", what values it expresses and how it is related to other classical anarchist thinkers such as Emma Goldman & Peter Kropotkin, and she envisions what lessons it might have for our political organizing today."— Anarres Project
