Information About

Carol Moore




She is considered an influential critic of Globalization ; Although not widely read or followed in the protest-oriented wing of the Anti-globalization Movement , she is extremely influential in movements for Separatism , Urban Secession and Rural Secession . Her followers prefer to focus on building a comprehensive "not quite a State " capacity for governance in smaller political units, and tend to ignore protest or treaties as strategies.

"I personally don't care if people have no or a little or a lot of
"state" in their small ''voluntary'' communities, as long as they don't aggress on or defraud others. But I do promote Nonviolence , Consensus and Direct Democracy , all of which would lead to a small state or not quite a state." - Carol Moore.

Moore is considered a Feminist and an Anarchist by most, but it is not clear if she accepts these labels or not. Her focus on self-sufficiency suggests an adherence to Eco-anarchism and the Eco-village movement, but those both propose much smaller scales than the unit of governance in a typical separation/secession movement.

Moore's work is most often compared to that of Jane Jacobs and Donella Meadows , who likewise applied systems theory to ecological and social problems.
