It is increasingly apparent that capitalism cannot stave off the truly
frightening ecological disasters that threaten the future of life on
earth. Is it an accident that the strongest and most capitalist
economic force in the world, the US, is also that force that is most
prone to the denial of the enormous dangers of global warming? While
capitalism is a global force, it is not supported by the majority of
the world, and much more thought and action is needed to integrate and
globalize movements against oppression, injustice and ecological
destruction. While changes at a local level are important and more
feasible in our current world, ultimately changes at a global level
may have greater long-term importance, and we need to greatly expand
theorizations and mobilizations in this direction now. Robert
Albritton proposes 'practical utopias' as a process of thinking by
which short-term changes tend in the direction of desirable changes in
the longterm.
