free course: 'there we are human again' (coming soon)
The world seems in chaos - climate crisis, neo-fascism, endless wars...and, for many, deep ennui and alienation. But there might, just might be a way through. Carne Ross has made a remarkable and very personal journey from government insider and diplomat to anarchist, and from despair and disillusionment to hope. In these videos, you can hear about his journey first-hand, and what that transformation can tell us about anarchism, a philosophy that may offer the solutions not only to our current political crises, but also the mindsets and structures that dominate and constrain us, giving us a chance - at last - to live as fully human.
Testimonials
[Ross] exposes the absurdity, the ignorance and indifference of international bureaucracies, quietly and with clear-sighted accuracy. His prose is ironic, measured and elegant. The integrity, the nuance of his account and his self-awareness make him impressive not just as a writer but as a person.
Rory Stewart
I agree with every word Carne says. Let's get this shit done!
Alexei Sayle
Carne Ross reminds us that although we are controlled by a few people who will do anything to protect their interests, they can be made irrelevant if we just have confidence in ourselves. That’s why I love what he says. He keeps it real.
