This is the paragraph that caught my mind.

"We cannot win by following the rules of our opponents. Nor can we defeat our well-armed opponents with violence. (That would be morally wrong as well as suicidal.) We can defeat them with strategic non-cooperation, and with moral force. Gandhi called it satyagraha. We can adapt those well-tested and proven tactics for today’s challenges."

So many things spring to mind from that. Are you familiar with the concept of "white mutiny"?

It's a form of passive resistance in which those forced into obedience obey orders, but do ONLY that which they are explicitly told to do. They give "no extra" in terms of intelligence, concern, or time to those whom they must obey.

In the old Soviet Union this was expressed in the joke about the "pretend economy" in which "they pretend to pay workers and workers pretend to do their jobs".

However, what the mention of Gandhi brought to mind was a scifi book I read long ago but have never forgotten. The Great Explosion (1962) by Eric Frank Russell.

It's a satire in 3 parts. Each part being a planet where human colonists in a great explosion of colonization have formed planets based on different social systems.

One is a society based on criminal behavior.

One is a society based on narcissistic worship of physical beauty.

And the last, well here's what Wikipedia says.

The final planet, K22g, has developed an unusual social system.

The population call themselves Gands (after Gandhi) and practise a form of classless, philosophically anarchic libertarianism, based on passive resistance.

"Freedom - I won't!"

and

"Myob!"

A moneyless gift economy based on barter and favor-exchange, using "obs" (obligations).

To perform a service for somebody "lays an ob" on them; they can then "kill the ob" by returning the favor.

As the planet's population are demonstrably non-hostile, the officials have to approve shore leave, which brings the crew into contact with the anarchist natives. Many find reasons to stay on the planet, refusing to return to the ship.

The officials have to get the ship back into space before they lose so many that the ship will never fly again.

The novelty of that society is why I still remember this book almost 60 years later.

If we want what comes next to be different from the past, we need to imagine something "better". Something that works at both the small scale and the societal level.
