THEOLOGY by Phillip Berryman, Pantheon Books
THE LIVING REVOLUTION
A specter is haunting Europe - the specter of permanent
environmental destruction. All the powers of Old Europe (and every other country on the
planet) have entered into an unholy alliance to perpetuate this specter and lie to the
public about its effects.
The powers are always faceless but in the west we identify them
collectively as the Corporate State. We know that when the Corporate State is allowed to
function with unrestrained free rein, it grows and merges and controls, and eventually by
its own natural evolution, with conquest as its only ethic . . . becomes a dictatorship.
The dictatorship of the corporate state controls the electoral
process and selects the representatives that the public has been led to believe it has
chosen.
The dictatorship controls and/or influences the major source of
public information, the media.
The dictatorship has put our planet's most vital resources -- its
water, air and land -- in what can only be described as a state of emergency.
The dictatorship structure of the so-called socialist countries rewards
its hierarchy more with power, privilege and romantic rationalization than personal
financial gain but the end result is pretty much the same. A manipulating media, an
elitist political system, anthropocentric philosophy, a poisoned environment, and
indigenous nations all over the globe denied sovereignty.
Dictatorship is tyranny, abolishing tyranny is the essence of
revolution. Establishing true democracy and basic freedoms is the essence of revolution. A
spiritual new birth is the essence of revolution.
The struggle between those who have and those in need will
continue probably forever and the discussion of how best to achieve that balance, must
continue, but now we are faced with an even more fundamental problem that must be
addressed even before the question of ownership of production, exploitation of labor, and
all the rest are debated. We have now achieved a level of alienation previous philosophers
could never have imagined. An alienation from our very life support systems. A physical
and spiritual alientation from the earth itself.
The revolution's goals are its means.
Living in harmony with the earth.
To this end revolutionaries of various economic philosophies,
nationalist struggles, political persuasions, social classes, and cultural identities must
put aside their differences and walk common ground.
The revolution is not inevitable.
This is the one revolution that will not wait.
Solidarity,
Little Steven
