People throughout the world are being herded into poverty. We need liberation, especially from the illusions that blind us. From the myth of the free market. From whatever stops us from seeing that is obscene for a man to have fifty billion dollars while other men sleep in doorways. And we need to get over the barriers that divide us from our potential allies so we can take up common cause across the boundaries of color, homophobia, class and sex.
Every liberation movement is a step towards the light.
Mythopoetry was no exception. It started out well. It gave some promise of remaking men and warmed us with the hope of a new way forward. Then it wavered and flickered. It ended as a backlash against women and their struggles for liberation and by making it a little easier for men to keep thinking everything is all right when it most certainly isn't.
