  • Musings on a radical politics of love.

    A materialist approach will never transcend materialism.

    Understanding there is no separation between the self and the other is not a trivial task.

    This knowing and state of being calls us to reorganise ourselves so that we address inequalities, support our most vulnerable, and create the optimum conditions for all to flourish.

    “You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.” - Angela Davis
