This Fanon is about a theoretical, yet possible, utopian future characterized by justice, peace and harmony, for humans and all beings beyond the human world. It is also a manifestation of such a future, in that by imagining it and positioning ourselves as actors in and creators of such a world, we bring this kind of future into the present moment, however briefly, however significantly, or insignificantly, for that matter. It requires that in this present moment, we theorize and therefore realize ourselves as "Ancestors of the Future", a phrase coined by Kai Minosh Pyle in How to Survive the Apocalypse for Native Girls. Imagining ourselves as such encourages and, to a certain extent, requires some responsibility and accountability towards our future descendants, generations, and Earth. My hope is, in that realizing ourselves as Ancestors of the future, we realize the importance of not only our actions, but our ways of thinking, doing, caring, creating, existing... and will shift toward ways that will not peril the lives of the future, away from injustice and inequality, away from non-consent and exploitation, away from coercion and compulsion... but more importantly, toward justice, equality, consent, care, and liberation.
