I, kwitsach_hadera , am making this material available in an effort to advance the understanding of the three factors propelling the globe towards an unprecedented cataclysm: Economic Collapse, Peak Oil and Global Warming. In studying these issues we have to present and examine article and commentary on economics, environment, politics, democracy, social justice, and peak oil as well as how these items interrelate.

If I had all the answers what would be the point of the journey.~

I grew up in Texas and identify very strongly with the independent libertarian nature of Texas. I consider myself an agorist or moderate libertarian socialist or a liberal anarcho capitalist. This means that basically I want to see an end to the concentration of government and economic power and see that power redistributed back into communities. So although I take strong stances along libertarian lines for limiting power, including economic power and see enough room in free markets for both collectives and private individuals. I think that you can have a successful free market economy where you have individual business, small to large corporations where communities, labor and owners have an equal say, where people can own individual property and still have community property, but no corporation can own property privately. I think a little healthy competition is good for progress as long as no one can be allowed to dominate the market especially through malicious means. I guess you could say agorists do it voluntarily. I am not completely against any government but I think their should be councils on local level and some sort of representation on a state to federal level but above all else the strongest form of government should be your local council that everyone can participate in. We are a long way from that but the world is changing and hopefully someday social justice will rule and maybe there are things we can do to help push it in that direction by acting locally and making ourselves more aware of what is happening in the world around us. But the pragmatist in me knows that with as apathetic as the people are today change is going to come slowly and they will probably get a lot worse in the US before they get any better.

By the way if you don’t know where you stand politically I highly recommend checking out http://www.politicalcompass.org/ It is great for letting you see where your political and economic beliefs fall compared to how the government is run. For instance my coordinates on the map economic -3.63 and libertarian -7.54.
