Matthew Green

My name is Matthew. I am a university graduate with a B.A. in history and I am into radical progressive politics. I consider myself an anarchist because I believe that anarch-"ism" is best consistent with Secular Humanism. I believe that Secular Humanism teaches basic values of equity, solidarity, diversity, tolerance, and responsibility and that these values are best reflected in the anarchist tradition of libertarian-socialism. I believe that, currently, the best model of libertarian-socialism is "Participatory Economics". I believe that it is the capitalists that shoulder the burden of proof in terms of the economic hierarchies that market capitalism generates. I am also an atheist/philosopical naturalist. I believe that we live an a orderly and eternal cosmos and there is no need or room for anything that transcends the cosmos. An eternal, orderly cosmos (whether it\'s a single "universe" or a "multiverse") with rational human beings who are devoted to Humanist social values and who find meaning in life through social relationships with others who share their values is what it means to me to have a very fulfilling life of meaning, hope, joy, and wonder!My goal is to become a biblical scholar. I am hoping to enroll in graduate school and obtain a Ph.D. in biblical studies. I hope to help educate other people on the origins and evolution of the Bible and of Abrahamic religions. This is my chief fascination on life and I hope to make it my life\'s goal and focus. As for my personal life, I enjoy reading, writing, watching DVDS, chatting with friends in real life and on my computer. I like anything romantic, I tend to be opposed to the idea of "marriage" and as of this writing, I am single.Matthew

ZNetwork: Left News, Analysis, Vision & Strategy

THE WIND CRIES FREEDOM

The Wind Cries Freedom, the new book from Z co-founder Michael Albert, is a sweeping oral history of a future American revolution.

Through thirty interconnected chapters, it draws out the strategies, failures, turning points, and hard-won wisdom of a movement that called itself the Revolutionary Participatory Society. These are not the polished memoirs of politicians: they are the unfiltered accounts of people who organized in neighborhoods, hospitals, universities, stadiums, courthouses, and places of worship, and kept a shared vision alive through cynicism and exhaustion.

The result is speculative political fiction that reads like history: messy, human, and quietly hopeful in the way that only real experience and long thought can produce.

“Read it, argue with it, but don’t look away. The future it recalls is one we must still fight to deserve.”

“The most unusual and intriguing combination of prophecy, manifesto, and movement building manual that I have ever encountered.”

Bill Fletcher Junior

“This work fills a huge gap in our social movement literature.”

DOES Z'S SURVIVAL MATTER?

You keep coming back for a reason: serious political analysis, movement reporting, and debate beyond the priorities of corporate media. Today, Z is in a precarious financial position. If Z is part of how you understand the world, help keep it going. The readers who give monthly are the reason this work survives between fundraisers.

CRITICAL ACTION

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Z’s work.

If this project resonates with you, you can learn more about it and find ways to support the work using the link below.

Z is in the most precarious financial position in its history.

Z is a place to think beyond the limits of the present.

For decades, Z has brought together political analysis, movement reporting, debate, and visions of a different future from writers and activists around the world. That work is more than journalism. It is movement infrastructure: movements need places to develop ideas, test arguments, learn from experience, and imagine what comes next.

In the first two days of this fundraiser, 19 donors and 8 new monthly sustainers stepped up. Help us reach 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone.

For decades, Z has published the analysis, debate, and visions movements need, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. If that work should continue, Z needs your support now.
