What Winning Looks Like: A (Positive) Vision for the Future

What Winning Looks Like: A (Positive) Vision for the Future

James Corbett offers the gold standard in independent journalism. For many years he has woken people up, offering heavily sourced content on The Corbett Report. His groundbreaking coverage of 9/11 as well as the hijacked environmental movement with the documentary How and Why Big Oil Conquered the World, reveal a fierce commitment to brave reporting.

In this concluding Part IV of our interview series, we explore James’ insights on what winning looks like. With that goal in mind we can take the steps required to be victorious in our ongoing struggle for truth and liberty.

MA: When you think about the future, are you positive? Do you think we’ll win? Why or why not?

JC: I approach the future with cautious optimism, believing in the irrepressible nature of the human spirit. This belief forms the foundation of my outlook, not as a guarantee of absolute victory, but as a faith in our collective capacity to resist and enact change. We must also acknowledge our progress over generations, despite facing myriad challenges. We live in times that, in many ways, are significantly better than those of our ancestors.

Even so, I am not blind to the potential dangers of being led towards a technocratic future or other forms of centralized control that threaten to undermine or destroy our autonomy. My hope is not based in hopium—the false promise that a singular event or leader will fix everything. Instead, my hope is that a better future is attainable—through our concerted efforts. This motivates me to work towards a future that, while not guaranteed, is within the realm of possibility. Yes, of course, the many challenges we face could indeed lead us down darker paths, but the potential for a brighter future is there too.

MA: I believe you are an anarchist. Can you paint for me a picture of how the world could look should we defeat the globalist forces of oppression and build the stateless world you wish to see?

JC: Picturing a stateless world after defeating the overarching control of the cabal is to imagine a reality vastly different from our centralized, power-driven present. I see a world that doesn't adhere to a single, universal blueprint for freedom, but instead, a diverse landscape of human creativity and self- organization. This would be achieved based on the principle of spontaneous order, where the absence of a central authority doesn't lead to chaos but rather, to a natural, organic structuring of societies based on mutual respect and cooperation.

Should this come to pass, how we choose to live will vary widely, reflecting the infinite possibilities of human innovation and interaction. Communities would operate on different sets of rules, resolve disputes in unique ways, and respect various interpretations of property and governance. In a liberated society, the imposition of a uniform way of life would be seen as a relic of authoritarianism.

Freedom's beauty lies in its multiplicity, in the ability of individuals and communities to coexist peacefully despite their differences. We must embrace the idea there isn’t just one way to live or organize society but many ways, as long as they don’t infringe on the freedoms of others.

Ultimately, we must overcome the false belief in the necessity of centralized control for order and happiness. Again, a truly free society can be built upon spontaneous order. In this way, varying forms of human expression and organization can flourish without being violently coerced into being.

MA: Of all the things you could tell the next generation of young people who will need to take up this important work in the coming years—youngsters like our own children—what would you say?

JC: To the upcoming generation, I must start with an apology: I've done all I could, but the challenges remain significant. My guidance, though meant to be timeless, may not fit the rapidly changing contexts you'll face. Therefore, I emphasize universal principles: life, love, and creativity. This is the bedrock upon which to build any future efforts. The complexity and beauty of human nature, with all its imperfections and glory, should be embraced. Join and promote "team humanity," enriching the human experience in all its manifestations.

I cannot offer a one-size-fits-all solution, recognizing the individual paths to humanity's progress will vary greatly. However, the collective endeavor towards a better world will benefit from what everyone brings to the table.

I encourage the youth to engage with the world with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to collective well-being. While I fully acknowledge uncertainty ahead, I remain convinced a multitude of small, principled actions can lead to significant positive, lasting change. So, to all those young people poised to carry this torch forward, I say: stay true to what you believe is right, contribute in ways that resonate with your understanding of what it means to be human, and remember, you are part of a larger "team humanity," working together towards a shared vision of a better, brighter future.

This interview with James Corbett challenges us to rethink our notions of victory over centralized governance, emphasizing the power of the human spirit and the importance of resilience in the face of oppression. To learn more about James’ vital work, please visit his site.
