You always give me some hope to chew on despite my fatalistic bent. "New research, both archaeological and historical, suggests that humans have had less harmful relationships with each other and the natural world before capitalism and industrialization came along." I forget most times how my fellow humans (and I) are not necessarily to blame, we are just slaves for our desires. Thanks buzzing Bee. x
Thank you, a fabulous essay. I just finished a class with Berlin Art Institute about making art beyond capitalism and something we discussed at length is how capitalism appropriates and exploits even those who critique the system.
It's good to hear that a class in Berlin is addressing this issue. I've encountered this discussion since my grad school days in Canada, but most art classes and schools don't venture into that conversation.
