In brief, it is the Socialism of the Garden rather than the Stoa or the Academy. Ataraxia and Aponia for all.

For me this means thinking about outcomes and real human experience when looking at inequality and injustice. For instance, I am more concerned about indicators like Infant Mortality Rate than Purchasing Power Parity.

It also reflects my non-insurrectionist view of revolution.

"The State is a condition, a certain relationship between human beings, a mode of human behavior; we destroy it by contracting other relationships, by behaving differently."
