    As CrimeThink as they get. I like, and apriciate the critique, and at least partialy the conclusion. I think we sucessfuly managed to emply some of it with a major mobilisation in my country. But then again, that was published nearly 20 years ago. Easilly more than 2 generations of activists heave read this, and from my perspective the places where id expect it to be most popular dont seem that much closer to our common objective. Maybe its a long process, I belive in these. Or maybe life is not only about fun after all. It was always a struggle to survive, to gather resources, to protect onself and the community. Its rooted so deep in our DNA that we will recognise petterns of predators and threats in anything if that part of our brain is not stimulated enough, or actuall ones are to complex and indirect (que Q). So we are hardwired for what would mostly be considered some type of duty or obligation. And from my perspective, the experiments that are biggest and closest to what id be aiming for (Chiapas, Rojava) are heavilly based on ones selfless commitment to the community and its wellbeing, often against ones personal interest and surely not by sanely considerd enjoyment. I think we aspire to the ideal human life, but merly playing as if were there wont make it come true. Not particularly original, but balance and connection to reality seem to be the key…
