How do we want democracy in the 21st century to look? What does it look like now? How will we achieve this renewing vision?
Democracy is in need of a revolutionary shake-up. This coming year — the Year of the Rat — could be our last great chance to enact radical change. Or we better make it so: we might not have many days left before our chances, and our time, are up. For good.
But who can we turn to for leadership? Nobody has a clue about how to get us out of the existential fix we're in. Nobody but we, the People, can conjure up the metamemes — ideas so profound that a sane, sustainable future is unthinkable without them — to shift the tone of our era and lift us out of this doomsday bind.
Single-occupancy ban. Permaculture. True Cost. Anything is possible in the Year of the Rat.
