prefigurative ness

sounds like something predictable.. but keeps being used as means to something legit diff.. so googled it:

“Prefigurative” generally refers to the reflection or embodiment of a desired future in the present, especially within social movements and political activism. It means practicing the values, structures, and behaviors of the future society you want to create, rather than waiting for it to happen in the distant future. In essence, the means of achieving change are seen as inseparable from the desired ends. 

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

  • Prefigurative Politics:This term, often associated with anarchist and activist movements, emphasizes building alternative social structures and ways of being in the present that align with the desired future. For example, a movement advocating for peace might practice non-violent communication and conflict resolution within its own structure to model the desired peaceful world
  • Prefiguration in Social Movements:It’s a strategy where the movement itself embodies the future it envisions, rather than just focusing on achieving specific goals through traditional political means. This can involve participatory democracy, horizontal leadership structures, and direct action. 

any form of democratic admin.. direct action.. et al.. as cancerous distraction

  • Active Construction:Prefiguration isn’t just about imagining a better future; it’s about actively building it in the present. This involves experimentation, innovation, and a willingness to challenge existing norms and structures. 

so still sounds like something not legit diff..
