cultureofresistance: Earth at Risk: Stephanie McMillan on Capitalism http://stephaniemcmillan.org Stephanie McMillan is known for her political cartoons (Code Green andMinimum Security), in addition to her collaborative work with Derrick Jensen (Mischief in the Forest and As the World Burns: 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Stay in Denial). As one of the speakers, Stephanie McMillan discussed how capitalism functions, and why it must destroy the living world in order to survive. Her analysis (assisted by some of her wonderful cartoons) gets to the root of what industrial capitalism is, and explains the inevitable result of the capitalist process; by getting beyond the rhetoric and showing the bare-bones function of capitalism for what it is, McMillan provides a very welcome and much-needed grounding in reality. Through her looking-glass, we are also challenged to question mainstream activist culture: begging and pleading and regulating won’t ever be enough to stop the destructive force of such a morally corrupt system. It cannot be reformed; it must be stopped outright and completely. But as we confront this reality, another truth becomes apparent; those who run and benefit from this state of affairs will tolerate no blasphemy, deviance nor dissidence. Where does this leave us as a resistance movement? To listen to the audio of her conversation with Derrick Jensen, you can follow this link for a downloadable audio file. You can also make a donation at the same site to help fund the resistance against industrial civilization. Throughout history all resistance movements have faced ruthless enemies that had unlimited resources. That’s why all resistance movements count on loyalty and material support. And, unlike the past, now, everything’s at stake. We are battling those who are destroying the planet for their profit. Not all of us can participate on the frontlines. But we all can contribute at some level. Here’s your opportunity to fund the resistance.
