War of the worlds: Political Ontology

Ontologies are political because they are supported or suppressed based on hegemonic power structures.  More and more local insurgencies are being organized around an awareness that we are fighting not only for single issue changes, but also for new ways of life and alternative worldviews that allow care for environments. Local organizations are forming innovative prefigurative collective projects through community gardens and kitchens, factory and land takeovers, cooperative workshops, and housing experiments. Huge coalitions have formed to advocate for different understandings in approaching governance, elections, environmental policy, and militarization. Movements of decoloniality are arising from below and linking globally to rethink together less destructive ways to live on earth as we race against climate c;hange that threatens to displace millions of life forms.
