bacterial futurism

An ecosocialist theory of society and politics suggesting that both interpersonal interactions and large-scale human dynamics can be better understood through insights drawn from microorganisms. Since bacteria form the fundamental building blocks of life on Earth, these single-celled organisms hold immense potential—especially when considered collectively, in vast numbers.
