Most evolved society blends capitalism & socialism, honoring both individual freedom & care for the common good. Few countries (including ours: police and fire dept are essentially socialist) all one or the other. The market good at some things, public investment better at others

When capitalism has a conscience, I think it’s a good thing. When it becomes untethered to any ethical and moral consideration for people or planet, it’s a bad thing. It all has to do with the consciousness of the people pursuing it.

Yes he is. And no he does not praise Cuba. He pointed out things about their healthcare system and educational system just like Obama did.

For those who are worried about the “socialist” label, Bernie is referring to the likes of European countries some of whom have more vibrant entrepreneurial capitalist opportunities than we do. But it’s not a healthy capitalism when so many people have no real access to capital.

The imperatives of evolution are different now. In order to survive going forward, we must learn to share.

The Law of Cause & Effect applies whether on the level of an individual or on the level of a collective. Every action causes a reaction whether it was an action by you or by your country. Take that in, then tell me you don’t care about politics- or that karma doesn’t apply to it.

The world isn’t a zero-sum game. It’s not as though there are only so many pieces of the pie & if I give one to you then there will be less for me. It’s actually the opposite: what we give ultimately multiplies & what we withhold from others will ultimately be withheld from us.

The Golden Rule doesn’t mean “Do under others as you would have others do unto you” because they just might. “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” because they definitely will, and even if they don’t then someone else will. You become generous out of self-interest

What climate change, coronavirus and other issues make clear is this: humanity will not thrive in the 21st-century unless we evolve beyond a “me first” or “me only” mentality. We need to shift economically, politically, and socially from an economic to a humanitarian bottom line.
