While trying to sum up my most optimistic thoughts concisely, I developed these pretentious sounding, quasi-intellectual “#PostCapitalism Equations”;

There are now hundreds of cities in 25 countries around the world prepping for the next global wave of democratic, people powered resistance to the emergent fascist global order and there’s been barely a dicky bird from the 1% media. That’s to be expected, but there’s not been much on social media or alt channels in the UK either. What is up with that?
Have you heard about #NuitDebout, or the #GlobalDebout next week, 15th May? #15M? If not, why not? (Please answer in the comments if you can be arsed).
For me, one of the most exciting things about Nuit Debout is the debate it has restimulated around the problem of ‘identity politics’. Much like Occupy, the Indignados and the 15M before it, this latest global wave of change is an opportunity for people from all walks of life to shed their old, divisive and tribalistic political identities. To unite in common cause and create new paradigms together.
to build a more credible, alternative street count of both people on the streets and of the empty properties they could be sheltering in.
All the councillors again agreed that many of the solution based proposals are not ‘in the gift’ of the council, meaning it is not in their power, that power lies with central Government.
Some councillors seemed warmer to the idea of fighting central government than others, in particular Green Cllr David Gibson, who was again the most vociferous supporter of the proposals. Labour Cllr Claire Moonan was also supportive. Nobody had a bad word to say about the proposals or the Love Activists.
A very basic analysis of recent history suggests that simply ‘not being a dick’ has become revolutionary.

Seeking Post-Capitalism in the UK
I am interested in seeking out the greenshoots of postcapitalism in the UK. I want to explore alternative, sustainable and equitable ways of living – to investigate, experience and document them.
