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 long
term.
