Re: Buddhism Green Anarchism: Opinions?

BUDDHISM AND ANARCHISM – REFLECTIONS ON THE ECO-ANARCHISM OF GARY SNYDER , Brian Morris, 2020-11-10 Again, not a recommendation or even a comment as I have not read completely through the article, but a possible discussion point. It is of interest that the words “anarchism” and “revolution” were bo...

Re: Buddhism Green Anarchism: Opinions?

:thumbsup:

Gary Snyder is someone whose work I have always liked but never known very well.
I will get back to these when I have time.

Re: Poll (ANONYMOUS): Are you Male / Female / Other?

Yeah, why so many dudes? Or, alternatively, why so few ladies? This came up on another Buddhist group I'm on, mostly men, which does not seem to reflect irl buddhism (so I hear, tbh I don't interact with buddhist groups irl much, but I do participate online, ...I don't know if that is related or no...

Re: Poll idea - male / female / other

If knowing my (or anyone else's) age, wealth, nationality, skin colour or gender identity is important to you, it's probably because you will respond differently to me or them because of those characteristics. Kim Hey, Kim, I fully agree with what you said, and I definitely do not want to behave di...

Re: Poll idea - male / female / other

I dont know how about you, but I (a male) feel like other people are also males, but that is just my stupid assumption / preconception. I think, since I am male, I am more likely to assume the other person with unisex nickname is also a male. This assumption from my side is especially stupid since ...

Re: Buddhism Green Anarchism: Opinions?

:twothumbsup: Great work, and good projects to be involved in. And I agree that 'purist' anarchism (hardline rejection of working with all arms of government and corporate entities) can't achieve some of the things we need to achieve. It's one reason I said before that starting from Buddhism, rather...

Your attempt is only 'vain' if it fails, and it hasn't. :smile: I clicked through to the rest of that and after a while I thought the author was going to recreate the parable of the raft if he kept going. He chose to stop, though, withdrawing to seclusion in the forest. Either way he sounds quite Bu...

Re: Buddhism Green Anarchism: Opinions?

You (all) might like to think about where anyone in Central or South America could go to get away from starvation, death squads, etc. The oceans to east and west are impassable barriers, Patagonia and Antarctica are inhospitable ... the US is the only way out. Life is much more complicated on the Eu...

Re: Buddhism Green Anarchism: Opinions?

Utopian ideas tend to come with prices, too, but when we're looking at the bright future we tend to romanticize the process and that future. Meanwhile, you plug in real life human beings and it gets messy and often as ugly as all the ills the romantics decry. Everything comes at a cost. The current...

I have no idea what you mean by that, or how it might connect to the discussion. I'm probably missing a pop-culture reference. I often do. :emb:

You can even get there (or part-way there) from neoliberalism if there are enough people pushing from government levels, as Kim Stanley Robinson describes in The Ministry for t...

Re: Buddhism Green Anarchism: Opinions?

I'm not entirely sure if this is an actual political/socioeconomic/philosophical beliefs, but it is an option I have become interested in recently. Basically, it combines anarchism, which believes in complete freedom and lack of government and police and leadership, everyone having their own freedo...
