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.
Our planet is under serious threat from industrial civilization. Yet most activists are not considering strategies that might actually prevent the looming biotic collapse the Earth is facing. We need to deprive the rich of their ability to steal from the poor and the powerful of their ability to destroy the planet. We need a serious resistance movement that includes all levels of direct action–action that can match the scale of the problem.
