Real Utopia

Joe Barnwell

I’m an old (82) revolutionary organizing theorist, perhaps the only leftist to apply the organization of life to the conscious organization of human social systems. I use the “new sciences of organizational relations” to view and understand life and human society and to envision the creation of radical social programs that lead to a movement of social transformation.

In doing this I employ “Capra’s Triangle” (my term), a simple model of life’s universal pattern of organization–the pattern by which matter comes to life on Earth. Capra’s Triangle is accessible to ordinary human intelligence and could enable regular people to come together to design local community projects that do good works in opposition to capitalism’s global metastasis.
