Nature as Praxis: A Manifesto
We as Nature have a say

Nature as Praxis can be a philosophical, political, and spiritual organizing guide for a left that is facing a right wing fascist movement that seeks to destroy the very notion of the organic.
It's time to redefine our movement as that of nature fighting for its own freedom.

A society that excludes 99% of its population from innovation is a society starving itself of potential. Under oligarchy, a system that emphasizes growth over wellness produces leaders who govern with such prejudice. Under ecological anarchy, possibility flows freely.
