Еко-фемінізм як ціннісна альтернатива війні. Патріотизм – «Матріотизм»
Eco-feminism is a worldview that harmoniously combines in the consciousness of the individual the mentality of natural energies, openness to “unlettered” information (spontaneous, intuitive, at the level of moods), social and political activity, the crisis of patriarchal culture, the hierarchic perspective of human evolution in the guise of modern technologies and eternal humane values. Eco-feminism is associated not only with the natural environment (protest against pollution of the Earth's ecosystems) but also with the clarification of the root cause of these processes — incorrect moral thinking oriented towards the destruction of the world (aggression of the individual in any form): quarrels at work and in the family, wars, betrayals, crimes. In the Ukraine / Russia conflict, the central slogan is the categorical rejection of Ukrainians from the status of exploited people who strive to be free. The acquisition of statehood and the defense of their own land / Home by Ukrainians harmoniously fits into modern political and ecological guidelines, where the “authorities” / government must be rebuilt in the “ethics of care” for Ukrainian citizens, who today, in the perspective of free choice of “own” at the everyday level, sincerely demonstrate patriotism: shedding blood in war; in hospitals; in universities; in schools; in supermarkets and markets. Winning peace for Ukraine means entering into adequate economic relations between a citizen and a state when an individual (specialist) will cease to be a “slave.” They will be able not to survive, as they have been trying now, worrying about how to feed the children, but to live strategically with taste and pleasure, receiving moral and material rewards for the spent physical and spiritual resources for the community's prosperity. Matriotism is the “ethics of care” concept in a happy, successful family. Matriotism is a voluntary desire to be in a certain city/territory/country / Home without coercion. The specificity of a place/home in matriotism lies in its nourishing power, which a woman filled. Matriotism forms a strong, successful territory around it: the state must be strong enough to protect this citizen like a mother protects her own child, and the citizen contributes to the accumulation of the power of this state in advance to anticipate any threats. Matriotism is an “other” ecological thinking which belies dominance. It is necessary to move away from dominance into the sphere of care, both about the citizen, because he is the smallest component of the state, and about the state, which is formed from strong individuals who care about it in advance, without bringing it to the need to protect it. After Ukraine's victory, we need to protect ourselves, our Ukrainian ethnicity, our children and future, and our development prospects on civilized principles in the plane of ecofeminist vectors: an individual/citizen / professional develops his own potential (enriches himself) and thereby contributes to the development/flourishing / of his country/world, which adequately thanks him / pays him with money for his work. The correlation between a citizen and the state should occur in “healthy” relations. If the citizens of Ukraine continue to agree to work “for free” (doctors, teachers), and the government continues to exploit them. The state of Ukraine will continue to allow other countries (russia or someone else) to exploit it.
