Collectivize! Free Birds in Murmuration
January, 2023 • 36 pages
What does the cultural left have for countering the attempts of the cultural right to recruit young adults to neo-fascist extremism? Neo-fascism has websites, meetings, and actions attracting young adults with conspiracy theories and the distortions of alternative facts opposing liberalism and leading to violent extremism. We have seen this before; in Hitler Youth of 1930s Germany. Today in America that same playbook is in use by the politically conservative Right.

Partnership Spirituality
April 2014 • 4 pages
Religion is not something set in stone; it changes with time as human culture changes. In fact, religion, like economics and governance, is used to design, build, and maintain a preferred culture. Thus, the patriarchal culture of the Religious Right needs to be replaced with partnership culture of the Religious Left.
Intentioneering Ecopartnership Culture
January, 2023 • 74 pages
Culture can be given, or it can be a matter of choice. Human culture evolves as people decide what they choose to believe and how to live. When an ecopartnership culture is necessary, oppression and exploitation are replaced with liberty and solidarity. When gender-equality is necessary, patriarchal culture is replaced with partnership culture, which especially requires replacing patriarchal religion with Partnership Spirituality.
