“However here we are in 2018 – in an increasingly insular and angry country where a sizeable chunk of the previous generation have managed a land grab bigger than has ever been seen before, left us with a particularly predatory form of capitalism, then all taken an early retirement that the rest of us are having to pay for by working into our late 60s. The slogan “never trust a hippy” has never seemed so apposite (yeah, yeah: “not all hippies”). We want the future we were promised, not this land of racism, stupidity, and greed.”
“And for me this re-enchantment is deeply entwined with wresting the myth of Deep England out of the hands of the conservative/far-right, and reshaping it (amongst other things) to mould the future into the more progressive, empathic, and layered future that we were promised.
Of course, this on its own is not going to change the balance of power, but it can help to change the shared social myth, the “national narrative”, to one where the path towards this future is signposted and clear.”
“As you know, for me, part of it was a knowing that given the way the national narrative was going, this vital space was going to be a prime land grab for fascists. Hence re-enchantment is resistance.”
