Transnational corporations are eating the world. One of their strengths as a tool for the rich is that they kill so effectively at great distances. Those who profit never have to see the devastation they cause. Another of their strengths is that because they do not actually exist, because they are legal fictions, they can never be killed. Worse, because they have no bodies - being instead the embodiment of greed, and because they, like the rest of our culture, are an attempt to separate themselves - for whatever stupid, insane, murderous, and suicidal reason - from the world that surrounds them, they effectively never need to stop growing. So corporations grow huge as forests grow small. Our lives and local economies grow ever more controlled by these ever larger, ever more distant, and ever more imperious fictional entities. And they are eating the world. Its all very strange, very sad, very stupid. ~ Derrick Jensen in Strangely Like War Hierarchy and its interlocking system of oppressions has nearly wiped out healthy human culture - replaced by a culture of apathy. And every day, the annihilation of other species goes on at the rate of 200 species a day. Deep Green Resistance acknowledges that the culture of industrial civilization is irredeemable. We advocate for immediate de-industrialization and we have a four-phased strategy. Our analysis is that it would be very possible for an unknown, super-smart, and humane underground to dismantle the industrial economy by targeting key nodes of infrastructure that keep the death machine going. For more about our strategy, please check out the 550 page book called Deep Green Resistance.
