So well said, Anna and the critical, consistently missed point.  This is
either what is consciously and thus far more easily done, or unconsciously
resisted and replayed with the same destructive underlying constructs that
defeated it the first time and every other time we were told to "wait"
until things were stable, to do this kind of inclusive consciousness,
deep-real-change work "then".

So in February 2015, we all celebrate a supposedly true and viable
long-hoped-for, essential political-economic change from a leftist/Commons
perspective (and that's what I truly am hoping it is, too), but there is
not one single woman, not one, in Syriza's new cabinet.  100% male
leadership!

"but changing the general culture of society and social movements is a long
and arduous road, taking generations ..."


That's not just glacial movement, Michel it's backwards.  And even more, a
bright red flag about underlying potentially damning constructs that not
only alienate so many of us, but worry us because we already know these
often are the poisonous seeds of the later failures to achieve any of these
ambitious dreams, as they have been so many times before.

E.F. Schumacher was absolutely right -- it takes "whole" systems change not
partial "bits and pieces change" that ultimately, change little.  And
understanding what that means, preparing others to understand how important
these issues are to that "whole", actually makes those changes easier, not
harder.  Because including all in the "Commons" when trying to transition
to any such reality, only makes "commons sense".

Not one woman.  That's a hard one to explain...
