About this deal

In contrast to many authors in the field, Bendell doesn’t shy away from confronting the coercive systems of political and economic power that drive collapse. Restoring the Commons: This action prioritizes community stewardship over exploitative control of resources by powerful entities. That has meant I could develop a collapse-ready organic permaculture farm school – something that would require millions in finance to do in the West.

Appeals to authority are pointless because the authorities, of whatever political colour, are part of the problem. It might also help refresh people’s memories (even mine) and produce some usefully concise summaries. So that cost is not a barrier to people accessing the analysis in my book Breaking Together, today the ebook becomes free to download.LinkedIn and 3rd parties use essential and non-essential cookies to provide, secure, analyze and improve our Services, and to show you relevant ads (including professional and job ads) on and off LinkedIn.

Jem Bendell provides a much-needed alternative to the technological obsessions and authoritarian impulses of an environmental movement that is responding to crisis by acquiescing to failing systems of power, rather than seeking freedom from them. So, given your interest in hands-on application and external adaptations, what specific activities or practices have you found effective or would you consider exploring?In 2015 the United Nations launched 17 Sustainable Development Goals, a 15-year programme to provide a better and more sustainable future.

Bendell emphasizes practices like engaging in local community initiatives, participating in ecological restoration projects, and developing sustainable systems within your own life as ways to apply these principles outwardly. Breaking Together constructs a comprehensive, compelling yet nuanced argument that societal collapse is well underway. And he says we need to assert our ‘freedom from fake green globalists’ and resist the agendas of the institutions of incumbent power (public, private and civic) and their officers and apologists, who he argues are already making matters worse in the early phases of unfolding societal collapse. If we take the time to really look at what’s going wrong in the world in general, it can be worse than disheartening. Participatory Decision-Making: This directly challenges top-down authority by redistributing decision-making power to community members.They might be right, but that doesn’t mean we don’t deploy it for straightforward and positive reasons.
