Capitalism is only kept going by this army of anti-capitalists, who constantly exert their powers to clean up after it and at least partially compensate for its destructiveness. Behind the system we all know, in other words, is a shadow system of kindness, the other invisble hand. Much of its work now lies in simply undoing the degradations of the official system. Its achievements are often hard to see or grasp. How can you add up the foreclosures and evictions that don’t happen, the forests that arent’t leveled, the species that don’t go extinct, the discriminations that don’t occur? schrijft Rebecca Solnit.
