Anarchism
Anarchism is a social and political theory and practice that works for a free society without domination and hierarchy.
Social Ecology
Social Ecology, developed from green anarchism, is the idea that our ecological problems have their ultimate roots in our social problems. This is because the domination of nature and our ecology by humanity has its ultimate roots in the domination humanity by humans. Therefore, the solutions to our ecological problems are found by addressing our social and ecological problems simultaneously.

Quotes
Poetry and imagination must be integrated with science and technology, for we have evolved beyond an innocence that can be nourished exclusively by myths and dreams.
~ Murray Bookchin, The Ecology of Freedom
People want to treat âweâll figure it out by working to get thereâ as some sort of rhetorical evasion instead of being a fundamental expression of trust in the power of conscious collective effort.
~Anonymous, but quoted by Mariame Kaba, We Do This 'Til We Free Us
The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.
~Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.
~Murray Bookchin, "A Politics for the Twenty-First Century"
There can be no separation of the revolutionary process from the revolutionary goal. A society based on self-administration must be achieved by means of self-administration.
~Murray Bookchin, Post Scarcity Anarchism
In modern times humans have become a wolf not only to humans, but to all nature.
~Abdullah Ăcalan
The ecological question is fundamentally solved as the system is repressed and a socialist social system develops. That does not mean you cannot do something for the environment right away. On the contrary, it is necessary to combine the fight for the environment with the struggle for a general social revolution...
~Abdullah Ăcalan
Social ecology advances a message that calls not only for a society free of hierarchy and hierarchical sensibilities, but for an ethics that places humanity in the natural world as an agent for rendering evolution social and natural fully self-conscious.
~ Murray Bookchin

TAKE THESE AND MAKE SOMETHING BETTER and brilliant⌠catchy! Record it. Link it. SPREAD IT. Let these people know they will be held accountable. And by these people I refer specifically to one actual person who has ever existed. These lyrics are entirely the work of Imagination and shared as art, free speech, poetry so that others can make great music with them. They are owned by everyone. In fact, I found them somewhere else and pasted them here.
He want to be a big man
But he know he a small man
In private he dress up and do the can can
He all cartoony like gruncle Stan Stan.
He gotta rich friend he think the man man
His rich friend he love the klan klan
The two be goose steppinâÂ
The two be goose steppinâ
In the morninâ he pulling da fire alarmaÂ
He just trying to scare you and make up more trauma
He canât live without all dat drama
He wonât eat middle eastern cause he says he hates dat schwarma.
Bad things gonna come back on him because of dat karma
The two be goose steppinâÂ
The two be goose steppinâ
He talkinâ real loud, tryna sound all tough
But we all know he cainât sell that rough stuff
Big shoes, big coat, but he still bluff bluff
He be flexinâ like he diamond, but he straight Hufflepuff
Million dollar this that, but it all fake fake
Runninâ round town like he pushinâ that weight weight
Luigi cominâ Luigi cominâ
He scared of the dark, leave a night light on late
Tryna act all brave but his heart pumpinâ shake shakeÂ
Luigi cominâ Luigi cominâ âcause
The two be goose steppinâ
The two be goose steppinâ
He say he run the block, but he really just rent it
Tried to buy a Rolex, but the price he couldnât dent it
All talk, no walk, thatâs how he designed it
Tryna boss up but his clout been rewinded
He scared of his shadow, jumpinâ left and right
Actinâ like a king but he cryinâ every nightÂ
Luigi cominâ
Say he got power, but his grip too light
He canât handle heat, better step outta sight
The two be goose steppinâ
The two be goose steppinâ
He got a lilâ squad, they be all yes men
Sayinâ âyes sir,â but they all just pretend
He be bragginâ âbout his riches, but he canât even spend
Tryna swing big, but his punches donât extend
Talk about respect but he ainât earned none
Still runninâ from the truth like he stole some .
Lookinâ in the mirror, see a fraud, not a don
Tryna build an empire but the bricks all gone
The two be goose steppinâ
The two be goose steppinâ
Also⌠is there a group I donât know of where talented producers might want to make this themselves for fun because it is a fun imaginative trifle?
