Tim Hollo is many things, musician, politician, anarchist and the author of Living Democracy – An ecological manifesto for the end of the world as we know it. He was in conversation at the Taproom in Castlemaine with Jim Buckell and introduced by Alex Kelly with an extended Q&A with the audience.
“We have it all at our fingertips. We’ve been doing the things that we need to do to create the new world that will enable us not just to survive, but to thrive… to go ahead into the future together in a world which will be safe and just, and happy and fun for everyone.
On the basis of the metaphor of ecology: The idea that if we can learn from the way ecology works, then we can construct social and economic and political systems on that basis. Learning from how indigenous peoples in Australia, and all around the world have done it.”
