Take the MST in Brazil, for example. They are fighting back against agricultural methods that are devastating their ecosystems, and with success. While things in the West may seem bad, good things are happening elsewhere.
A valid point to raise; a lot of my fixation is on the West because I've lost faith that I'll ever be able to escape it-- so this is a great point to raise up. I'm just not sure if the methods and ideology of the MST has a western analogue that could replicate their thrust, which leads back to square one of 'how the fuck do we rid ourselves of these bituminous leeches in the imperial core?'
