This is a comment from Ben Boyce, published in the Huffington Post:
“The ‘Thrive’ message must be forcefully and publicly repudiated, because it is performing essentially the same function that the ‘New Age’ movement did in the 1970’s, which was to dissipate the revolutionary energies coming from the Awakening of the 60’s and remove an entire generation from the field of political struggle. With the field cleared, the well-organized and well-funded forces of the nascent right-wing conservative movement moved in to fill the vacuum, while the well-meaning spiritual seekers attended to their ‘personal development’ or their ‘spiritual path’. Meanwhile, the material conditions that permitted them the luxury of disengaging from political life were being steadily undermined by the corporate imperative to concentrate wealth in the hands of the 1% ownership class. Now many of these New Age folks are finding that their sources of income as “cultural creatives” has dried up, as our corporate overlords have deemed them to be superfluous. Their abdication of historical responsibility led directly to the dire condition in which we now find ourselves. Let’s not repeat that history.”
