In France in recent decades, striking workers and pensioners have shut down oil refineries and ports for weeks at a time, halting much of the national economy. That leverage has proven effective in forcing government concessions. But now, what we need is not just temporary shutdowns of these facilities: it is permanent.

Thanks for this ray of light, Max. I am happy to see Jack Forbes' brilliant insights brought forward into greater notice, as well. The wetiko death machine must be stopped, and the strategies that you allude to resonate strongly with what I have been telling people for years, but not as eloquently or succinctly as you do here. A long time ago I identified monetary systems, which replaced direct, respectful relationships with natural provisions for life, along with people's belief that they have no other option than to submit to such systems, as the key tools of the wetiko corporate powers which must be abandoned, dismantled, and brought to a permanent end. It is likely that the only way that can be effectively accomplished is to proactively put into place numerous alternative, eco-harmonious, local economic community relationships first, as you suggest, throughout the world, so that people will have something viable to turn to when they choose to abandon the monetary, techno-industrial, wetiko death machine.
