Changing Systems

I'm reading this book called "Systems Thinking for Social Change" by David Stroh. Although this is not his paradigm of systemic choice, He talks about WinWin strategizing for optimal outcomes Rather than WinLose compromises for suboptimal conservation of the miserably under-performing status quo. Future: A. To strengthen partnerships, clarify potential cooperative benefits to both (all) parties. Past: B. Revisit OldBusiness issues caused by both (all) sides, whether unconsciously or otherwise-- like growing climate pathologies. Present: C. Develop bilateral (multilateral) WinWin solutions to OldBusiness issues in ways that optimize Future A, above. I can see where this might have been useful, even therapeutic, to consider before Civil Wars-- Perhaps even back when the U.S. Constitution was in early democratic draft, seeking to regenerate a federated WinWin stage. Future A: SlaveOwners, who always expect to have the first word; Well, I might see where a plantation with cooperative ownership structure might support a more cooperative management system So, we could save our whips for taking out thistles and our cotton ropes could return from making nooses to drying clotheslines. And, Saturday nights around a campfire singing gospel and jazz and blues and dancing a jig or two and maybe hearing some multicultural story telling too might be more fun than segregated Creation Stories overpoweringly told inside achingly empty stifling Big White Houses. Slaves-- We bring cultural spiritual natural experience with WinWin tribal ownership structures, and could revisit them as wiser and healthier than being your way too personally oppressed ecopolitical property. We also will support cooperative investment for advancing mutually natural health within spiritual wealth plantation producing ego- and consuming eco- therapeutic optimization. Past B: SlaveOwners-- Sorry about past violent capital acquisition history, Rapacious and inhumane exploitation predation Lacking in all proper unpigified human natural and spiritual nurturing values. We couldn't see gratitude positive integrity attitude beyond our own plantationed WhiteHouse skin. Slaves-- In restorative justice fire circles lie pardon when properly invited But also reparations, egohealth outcomes fed by stone-soup ecotherapies for all parties. Present C: Slaves-- See B above, where ecotherapies include green matriarchal fire circles of and for cooperative power celebrations, wondrous sacraments for healing green and red states black through white. Former EnslavementOwners, who always expect to have the last patriarchal word-- Welcome to our cooperative reforesting EcoSchool and GreenPlantation Village, Where we always grow and eat organic and sometimes vegan, and never miss a weekend FireCircle because you never know what might happen next when ecofeminists get together to play with ancient awesome fire-power-- warming systems for WinWin social democratic change.
