tabsfchnr's review against another edition
3.0
An outline of some of the world's problems, some examples of counter-capitalism movements the author is in favour of, and a message of hope without optimism that is formulated by a confusing description of a relationship to the present moment.

To preserve civilisation, we need to build a new community.
And to build that community, we can to look to examples from recent history and around us today. Yugoslavia in World War II, when the resistance was probably the most effective in Europe. Communes in Catalunya, finding ways to live after the 2008 crash. The G20 protests in Hamburg two years ago.
Melancholia is an indulgence. We must have hope, even if we lack optimism.
