Modern #citizenship is such a shallow, dry husk of what it should—and could—be.

The ideology of unfettered negative liberty has resulted in disaster. Western society’s fetishization of individual rights at the expense of responsibilities has been a chief contributor to the malaise of modernity we find ourselves in today.

Unregulated globalized markets have failed and should not be allowed to continue. Global mega-corporations, conglomerates, and supply chains must be brought in line with the common good (i.e., abandoning the “just in time” model of supply) or we must abandon the cosmopolitan project in favor of unregulated locally-based economic arrangements — I favor the latter, but the former is preferable to what we have now.

“Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things-trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that's a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia… we're leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for Overland. Not that our lives will be very long, I should think; but that's a small loss if the world's as dull a place as you say.”
