Redefining Commonsense in Collective Action

This chapter explores the concept of 'the Commons' as shared resources essential for collective well-being and addresses the need for shifting from individualistic to collective perspectives in tackling the climate crisis. It critiques the established notion of common sense, highlighting its influence on societal norms and political discourse, and encourages listeners to question entrenched beliefs while embracing alternative viewpoints. The narrative sets the stage for further exploration of cultural and political dynamics, particularly in relation to the challenges faced by the left in articulating visions that resonate with the public.
