thanks rafter and everyone,> land-movement.
i have to admit it is scary being name-called, even when it is actually your
own name!
one little quick thing inspired by rafter and that is at the heart of my
motivation for 'starting' all this.
This point about facists, self-identified racists, and other unsavory types
embracing "Permaculture" :
The way "we" communicate our current principles, (most often vaguely) leaves
plenty of room for them to be interpreted or misunderstood (or ignored) by
people who then take on the Permaculture "brand" for their own purposes.
At the heart of my original post, (i am being repetitive i know, sorry!) is
my perspective/contention that we would BENEFIT as a movement (or whatever
we are) by more clarity, by more detail etc. By doing this we clearly
exclude (which is ok imo) the white supremecist back-to-the (black peoples)
in some way communicating, say, support for the carbon-reparations language
worked out in cochabamba (see original thread) we are able to connect with
and support folks doing this work. Deepening our solidarity with others,
improving our own PR etc etc.
By being clearer, and more specific about what our principles are and are
not in practice, we are not limiting the potential of PC to spread, but are
in fact strengthening it.
thanks,
sorry for pissing folks off.
i wanna be friends, really i do!
