📚 News from Nowhere | William Morris, 1890
What might life look like beyond capitalism, class hierarchy, and centralized authority?
In News from Nowhere, English writer, artist, and revolutionary socialist William Morris imagines a future society without a conventional state, money, or capitalist organization of labour. Communities organize themselves through cooperation, while work becomes voluntary, meaningful, and connected to human needs rather than profit.
Morris was not straightforwardly an anarchist, but his rejection of domination and his vision of decentralized, cooperative communities brought his work into close conversation with anarchist and libertarian socialist thought.
More than a century later, the novel still asks a radical question: if our institutions were created by people, why should we assume they must exist forever?
