I’ve frequently run into the quip that it is easier to imagine end of the world than the end of capitalism. It’s not going to be easy! Certainly, not as simple as flipping a switch to a new system. Nonetheless, some supporters of capitalism scoff at the idea of After Capitalism because there is no ready-made program in hand. There is not a detailed blueprint for exactly what is to be done, thus it is judged impractical.
I think we should be careful about a fully-baked program. Communism more or less arrived with a plan (though even there, quite a bit of improvisation was needed). Trying to flip the switch to that new economic model proved to be a disastrous experiment. The transition ought to be more emergent, experimental, and with a view to learning as we go. Indeed, capitalism itself did not arrive fully baked. It emerged piecemeal over a period of decades.
After Capitalism is already emerging today, albeit very faintly. The third horizon images provide a sense of direction. Think of an iterative approach where the images and actions inform one another and there is adjustment as we learn. There is some preliminary work done on potential pathways in the manuscript, but I plan to cover various already emerging pilots, experiments, and movements in the blog while the Imagining After Capitalism manuscript is finalized. – Andy Hines
