within the logics of postindustrial service economies lies a project of radical personal autonomy with clear territorial implications it equally suggests that these two components- the postindustrial and the territorial- are imbricated with yet a third concern- the environmental.

the neoproletariat as environmentalist
broadly speaking, it is only by decentralization that we can increase self-sufficiency- and self-sufficiency is vital if we are to minimize the burden of social systems on the ecosystems that support them.

no bureaucratic manipulative, centralized administration here, but a voluntaristic system in which the economy,society and ecology of an area are administered by the community as a whole, and the distribution of the means of life is determined by need, rather than by labour, profit or accumulation.
murray bookchin, 1996
radical agriculture offers a meaningful response to this desperate situation in terms not of a fanciful flight to a remote agrarian refuge, but of a systematicrecolonization of the land along ecological lines.
murray bookchin, 1996
an ethos of decentralism toward urban settlement patterns and their attendant administrative andgovernmental systems, social provisions, and materialinfrastructures is the most viable means of livingwithin the carrying capacity of the planet.
in this formulation, survival is linked to the cultivationof an extensive, rather than intensive, spatiality.
