I think it has to start in my own little sphere. Removing as much bureaucracy and system depots I can. Otherwise you wind up trying to control things you can’t. I’m trying to change what I can.
But if everyone did that the system would crumble

I admire that. My selfish instinct is to not even try because it’s a losing battle.
Well to be honest, I think you’re right. It is a losing battle.
Which is why we change the battle.
Vaclav Havel’s essay “ the Power of the Powerless” discusses this whole concept. Fight the system directly, you’ll lose, remove the system from your own life, in cooperation with others, and eventually the system collapses.
He wrote it in the Soviet Union.
Turns out, he was right.
Fitting that he became President of the Czech Republic later.
Damnnn what an interesting concept. I’m probably gonna read that article later honestly. My mind is going through a re-opening stage lately
Same boat. 🛥️
For the other lurkers: [The Power of the Powerless](https://hac.bard.edu/amor-mundi/the-power-of-the-powerless-vaclav-havel-2011-12-23).
True destroy the system from inside, rather than fighting from outside.
Think global act local they say.
