NOTES TOWARDS A NEW INTERNATIONALISM
"We are now in a state where either we move towards internationalism or move towards a kind of extinction" Noam Chomsky
The internet is global. It allows for ideas of Internationalism, crossing outdated hierarchical nation structures.
At the core of A NEW INTERNATIONALISM are organisations like Charities, NGO's, Art's and Science organisations. Organisations where people, in some way or another, dedicate their time trying to create a fairer world.
It is time for A New Internationalism. National Governments must seek and heed advice from indigenous peoples and the scientists who have made a study of climate change for half a century if we are to avoid catastrophe in many forms. Many International Organisations and Charities are primed to hold the reins, perhaps under the auspices of the United Nations. Set partisan leadership to one side and see that true leadership is found in a universal lens and kindness towards the vulnerable.
We have seen in recent years how the www has been manipulated to create division and hatred. Our belief is that people will embrace tolerance and understanding if they are shown it. If the kid surrounded by poverty and media poison could see the apple tree in the orchard he would surely go there.
