Is War inevitable/perpetual?
Or could it become very ephemeral
In various regions of Eaarth
In the near and distant future? …
Or could it even be eradicated
Over a neo-Earth
Forever and ever?
Does War exist BECAUSE of War?
And armaments/nuclear weapons?
And arms/guns?
And military?
And military bases?
And exorbitant military funding?
(Vs. funding …
Of ethical ecology-education,
For sustainable livelihoods,
For comprehensive quality (preventative) heath care,
For quality lives for all, including other species,
For advocating for
Living the 7 S’s
And for VV->^^ ??????????)2
Could there have been/be peaceful
Development of democratic eco-socialism
And transition to such (a) state(s)?
Could WW I have been pacifistically avoided?
Did WWI lead to World War II, and Hitler et al.,
And the Jewish death camps,
And the death of Uncle Bain?3
…………….
I’m not a fiel “patriotic” joiner
Of cults, religious churches,
clubs, societies,
Of political parties,
Of a tribe, of a Nation.
Well … yes!!
I do oftentimes TRY to identify with,
Support, empathize with
The poor,
The downtrodden,
The powerless,
The disenfranchised,
Those being discriminated against,
Minorities,
LBGT+s,
So-called lesser-developed countries/nations/peoples,
The have-nots.
But even there
I am not a very good joiner.
………….
Is it wrong to avoid joining
And to deeply, holistically
Oppose War, wars, arms, armaments, military,
Imperialism
(… Including opposition to Coke, …
Las aguas prietas
Del imperialismo …),
Power!!??
No! Hell no!!!
