You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ― Richard Buckminster Fuller The Transition is not a revolution, it is an evolution. It brings some of the techniques and principles of Communalism into action while using the existing monetary system rules and influences it cannot readily escape. We are not fighting against the current system. We are adapting the current system so that it can transform into something better that would enable all of us to achieve a much higher standard of living within a relatively short period of time; a standard of living that would be continuously improved as we develop our technologies and the ways in which these discoveries are implemented. We are collectively working for fundamental change of the political and economic institutions of society to achieve a just, humane, and Global Egalitarian System. Rather than isolating ourselves completely from the mainstream, we promote The Transition as a viable alternative. The Transition is a communal organization striving for an egalitarian global society built on ephemeralization principles. Our intention is to bring together those who follow a compass set with the same values so we can reach our mutual goals faster. You should join The Transition if: -You believe housing is a human right. -You believe that everyone needs a basic education on how to survive sustainably. -You believe that planned obsolescence is a practice that wastes our finite resources. -You are interested in experimental models of living and working together like Co-Housing, Eco-Villages, Co-ops, Communes, & Intentional Communities. -You know poverty is a man-made social construct. -You study ideas & concepts regarding sustainability, permaculture, ecology, & aquaponics. -You believe that alternative technologies are withheld due to corporate greed. -You believe cooperation is far more powerful than competition. -You dont just talk about problems, you are a person who comes up with solutions to them and DOES something about it by using methods of Direct Action! Lastly, you should join us if you are looking for other people to work and grow with in a long-term and committed effort to change the world we live in-for the better. If this sounds like you BECOME A CONTRIBUTOR NOW! This online community is about starting on a local scale, but acting with the intention of global change to bridge the gap between our present times and a Global Egalitarian System. (Some examples of similar concepts or ideas are Economic Singularity, Resource Based Economy (RBE), Gifting Economy, and Ubuntu) Together we are creating a worldwide movement launching as a planetary network of conscious individuals willing to not only change the world, but change themselves to create a brighter future for everyone! https://facebook/groups/1446064762304623/?ref=br_tf
