Kavita Byrd published a new essay, “There Is No Going Back to Normal: Which Way Do We Choose Going Forward?,” which explains clearly that the current crisis is a branch point — and we can and need to take the opportunity to shift the world into a more sustainable and caring direction.
As Kavita says, “Many people see the coronavirus crisis as a one-off event, something that will pass and then we’ll go back to normal. But we have to see the bigger systemic picture – the background of the global capitalist system that has caused the crisis, and will cause many more to come –cascading into further crises and ultimate collapse — if we don’t wake up now, take the reins in our hands, and radically change course.”
