Murray Bookchin discusses the need for more communal lifestyles. He traces societal evolution from the blood ties of clans, tribes and families to a social society based on common interests. The trend of people dropping out of the workplace to become farmers and craftsmen is a sign this is no longer a youth culture but a counter culture. People are questioning relationships, consumerism, conventional lifestyles, and work. There?s a sea change in their values. They are not prepared any longer to accept the predatory attitude of ?compete, advance, climb the ladder, step over bodies.? He hopes for a change in public thinking and eventually institutions.
