The cancer infecting the political Left
#42
As far as the Left is concerned, socialism is passe. It remains as one of the two first revolutions of the modern age, the first being the democratic. They represent the bourgeosie and the proletariat. The third great revolution is Green, and this is the cycle that is moving toward its fulfillment now, not just as some temporary adjustment, but a full remaking of society just as the socialist and democratic revolutions remade society. Admittedly, these first two revolutions are also unfinished, and are far from established orders in many countries. So the third revolution, the Green, also includes the first two. The aims of this revolution are spelled out in the Green Party's 10 Key Values. This is the revival of the world, the overgrowing of oppression, and the renewal of spirit.

In case you don't know, a conjunction, like a new moon, happens when two planets align on the same side of the Earth, and the opposition, like a full moon, happens when they align with the Earth between them.

The cycles of Uranus and Pluto outline the destiny of these three movements. The Third Revolution began in the sixties, the second in circa 1848, and the first originated in the early 18th century. These are when conjunctions or new moons in the cycle happened. They come to full expression at the full moon, Uranus-Pluto oppositions. The first Revolution climaxed in the French Revolution of 1789-1794. The second climaxed at the turn of the 20th century. These were the times of Uranus-Pluto oppositions (as was the peak of the British Great Rebellion in 1649). The third revolution will climax in our next Awakening circa 2046-2049 during the next Uranus-Pluto opposition, which will fulfill its beginning during the previous conjunction and Awakening of the sixties (exact in late June 1966).

So a Marxist Revolution is no longer the cutting edge of the cycle. Even so, as the Green Revolution unfolds, the aims of the first two cycles will also continue to be advanced. But they can be fulfilled only in the context of the new movement.

Dialectical materialism, industrialism, and ownership of the means of production by the state, must be superceded as the method and destiny of the movement. Now, as the Third Revolution unfolds, we realize that there is no matter without spirit. Now we realize that there is no economy without ecology. Community-based economics in a global system, and a combination of local and global powers, alone can create the synergy needed to create prosperity and fulfillment on the widest scale. Human civilization must be inserted back into Nature, conceived as a living Being, and must become interdependent with it again. Technology and economics must be smart and appropriate to, and not dominant over, Earth and Humanity, and meet the needs of all its classes, genders and races, not just a privileged few. Quality rather than mere quantity and survival must be our aim. People power is the dominant method.

The birth of People power! There's still something in the air!
