Michele Pasin / Quotes

L'alternativa al sistema esiste

Una dimostrazione, soprattutto, che non è vero che siamo tutti costretti a vivere nello stesso modo, che non c’è alternativa, che il cambiamento è impossibile. La vera arroganza non è del meccanismo consumistico e capitalista – cioè, apparentemente, il nemico – bensì di chi lo accetta, di chi crede (come credevo io) che non si possa fare altro che seguirne le regole. L’alternativa c’è eccome, purché siamo disposti ad assumerci le responsabilità che comporta.
