On Collapse And The Need For A Non-Bureaucratic Temporality

February 4, 2026 Yavor Tarinski, Resilience. Strategize! climate crisis, collapse, Local Assemblies, Transformation

How are we to think of the future? A future that by all accounts seem to be an uncertain one, to say the least.[2] This is a question of immense importance as no movement forward can be made without some degree of thought and planning. But to plan ahead is not that easy when immersed in a bureaucratic culture, shaped by capitalism and statecraft, that incentivizes people to be short-sighted due to the primacy of the profit-motive and the thirst for power. That’s why it is important to meditate on what prevents our societies from conducting a serious dialogue on what awaits us in the future, and what can be done to prepare for a potential societal and environmental collapse, provoked by the current dominant politico-economic system.

Assemblies: A Path To Co-Governance And Democratic Renewal

December 24, 2025 Ben Palmquist , Portside. Organize! Community Assemblies, Democracy, Governance, Local Assemblies

Democracy should give us a real say in the decisions that shape our lives, but few people today feel the government is working for them. Inequality is extreme, our economic lives are precarious, and trust in government and all kinds of institutions is at historic lows. All this has opened up space for the reactionary Right—at least in the last election—to win over a multiracial majority of voters. As we defend electoral democracy and organize our people, we also need to build new democratic structures: ones that deepen people’s sense of interdependence and solidarity, build real political and economic democracy, and deliver palpable results that restore people’s faith in collective public action and democratic governance.

From June 13-15 more than 400 workers answered the call by the Southern Workers Assembly (SWA) to affirm an action plan to challenge the systemic racism, poverty and anti-unionism of the South. The dynamic agenda of the summit was held in Spartanburg, South Carolina, with workers mostly from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. All the main sessions were able to be heard in English and Spanish. Workers of all ages participated in very interactive breakout sessions that combined proven tactics for organizing with new ideas and technology.
