Without a #universaleducation, we will not achieve full human capacity, including #universalequality or #universaljustice
Paulo Freire called it "bank education." The state makes a deposit and then later makes a withdrawal, i.e. tax or canon fodder. Another domination system that needs to be replaced with partnership.

@ChrisMayLA6 Echoes of the past can be heard in the problems of the present. The revolutionary notion of democracy was put on hiatus in 1787, and the coup of the oligarchs continues to this day. https://riverasun.com/oligarchy-as-american-as-poisoned-apple-pie
#WeThePeoples need to stop history repeating itself & learn from it. #Justice #universalequality #universaleducation #UnityInDiversity planetisation is the only future for these things. #patriarchalcapitalism has to end as part of that process.
A possible way forward, no professional politicians, a well trained, accountable, and properly staffed civil service. #Cosmolocalism through peoples assemblies, sortition. To my mind, that is #participativedemocracy
The representative democracy experiment needs to end.

Oligarchy: As American As Poisoned Apple Pie - Rivera Sun

by Rivera Sun The current struggle between democracy and oligarchy in the United States traces its roots back to the 1787 Philadelphia Convention where the wealthy elite pulled off a counter-revolutionary coup to stifle democracy. Oligarchs are as American as poisoned apple pie. Their wealth and power look mouth-wateringly good, but with every bite, democracy […]

The military around the world uses a large majority of the fossil fuel extracted from it. We can tackle the eco crisis only when the wars end. Wars will only end when #statesovereignty ends or is very much reduced.
I keep banging on about the same old things because I believe they are necessary.
#universalJustice #universalEquality #universalEducation #Unityindiversity the end of national #sovereignty & #patriarchalcapitalism.
I don't care what colour your flag or political belief is.
Only when we have a balance between heart and mind will we start to recognise #universaljustice

Fascism doesn’t summon hate. It grooms despair. It identifies the wound, and then it infects it. By the time the hunt begins, the scapegoat already believes he’s the shepherd.
This is the point of hierarchy and why patriarchalcapitalism has been the domination system for so long.
Gaslighting like scapegoating is a tool/ weapon of the domination adversarial hierarchical systems. I believe we need to develop partnership working and encourage cosmolocalism. #universalequality #universaleducation

@zephry There are many forms of democracy that have to, by definition, be an experiment. Representation has had its day.
I don't need professional politicians; I need an accountable civil service.
I don't need lobbyists; I need choice.
I don't need representation; I need a place.
I don't need to be told; I need to be heard.
I don't need divisive tribal politics.
What I need is a fully staffed, well trained, truly independent civil service, guided by peoples assemblies, guided by experience. We can have #Unityindiversity.
"I" can't speak for "others" but "we" can agree, if not we can have a dialogue, there is a way through this and many of the the 99% are experimenting with options. Others are waking up every day and joining the conversation. Many of them are taking action. I am grateful.

Humans have set themselves apart from the universe. We are not really in control as we think. We're denying and working hard at them. We are distracting ourselves.
In doing so, we procede to traumatise our species and the ecology of which we are a part.
We/I/you have choices we/you/I have decisions to make, and like the adolescents we are, we're afraid of the consequences, but we can face them together through trust & acceptance.

The reaction from governments to the military industrial complex (war economy, predatory capitalism, etc.) has to develop cosmolocalism and #universaleducation developing planetary citizenship and a stewardship paradigm.

I believe it's worth repeating (probably again and again)...
Let us all stand for #Unityindiversity on a planetary scale beyond national sovereignty. A now outmoded model of governance & the main barrier to the rule of international law. #universaleducation #universalequality #planetaryjustice
#unityindiversity will develop only when #patriarchalcapitalism and domination systems are replaced with partnership.
Put simply, I believe patriotism, i.e., pride & connection to the land you choose as yours, not because of birth is good. Nationalism is not the same thing. Why because #Sovereignty is a #myth & barrier to rule of law. States can exist without it & can be #autonomous.

It's interesting that politicisation of language causes division. I'm thinking of the term mutual aid, a term coined by Peter Kropotkin in 1902. admittedly, he used it to support anarchist philosophy.
My point is that many of his historical arguments supporting mutual aid also support later work of Indra Adnan & Joanna Macy, to name only two.
Essentially, it could be called cooperation. A key point is it needs to be voluntary as opposed to coercive cooperation (not sure the those two can go together, but you get my point).
Before tooting this I searched Kropotkin & mutual in order to post as a reply, I then realised I would be adding to division. So I will stick with my preferred hashtags; #universalequality #universaleducation #Unityindiversity.
