Our world is being carved into two spheres of influence. For now, those spheres are limited merely to economic competition. But as the tension mounts, there is a real possibility that the China-vs-U.S. face-off could spill over into an all-out war — a global fight for worldwide hegemony — maybe even World War 3.
We must upend this disastrous dichotomy with a fresh option: The rise of a Third Force . . . a new paradigm in which we — not the billionaires, not the corporations, not even our political leaders, but we the people — start calling the shots from below.
If we’re going to work our way out of the existential bind we’re in as a species, the hierarchical, top-down power structures that have ruled the world for thousands of years have to collapse. With the most powerful activist tool ever invented in the palms of our hands, we in the streets have to take charge.
We’ve got the tools. We’ve got the metamemes. All we need are the numbers.
Let’s come together and change the tune of history!
Adbusters is one of a handful of magazines in the world that receives zero funding from advertising (print or online), corporate sponsorship or government/foundation grants. We are entirely reader-supported, allowing us to remain fiercely independent in what we do and say. We operate as a non-profit organization, which means that every dollar we raise through the sales of our magazines and other merchandise goes directly back into our campaigns and the production of the magazine. When you subscribe to Adbusters, you are joining a network of artists and activists committed to speaking truth to power without reservation.
