Post Capitalist Society #2

Welcome to Post-Capitalist Society. We’re a fluid, irreverent group bringing together diverse perspectives to interrogate the status quo and scout for alternatives. Whether you’re a policy wonk or a poet, or just curious to talk with other people, come for the critical dialogue, stay for the collective reimagining. And beer.

We’re meeting in the Petersham Bowling Club greenroom on Wednesday, 30 September at 7 pm.

Think of us as part knowledge-share, part interdisciplinary think-tank, and part poly-crisis therapy session—but a bit fun—as we sift through the wreckage of late-capitalism to ask questions. All the questions. Frankly, whatever you got. How do we make our economy and democracy actually work for humans and the planet? What is capitalist consciousness? What are the systems of dehumanisation? How do we decolonise? How can we collectively challenge the surveillance economy? Extractive systems? What does de-growth mean practically? What's with the slide toward the Temu-ification of everything? How can we build collectives without the legacy structures of market democracy? What is the role of creativity when the very concept has been economically instrumentalised? Can care and competition coexist in a social support system? If innovation rhetoric is the Trojan-horse for techno-fascism, what are the implications? Can we go solar-punk? Are lububus so 2025? The gods are dead - what now?
