There are many good people who work in government. The problem is that the system is structured in such away that our compassionate nature is not given primacy in public decision-making, corporate profits always winning out over the wisdom of the heart. We need a quantum change.

Hartmann always gives great historical context to his analysis of events. Very empowering.
“The Republican/Conservative ‘solution’ to the ‘crisis’ these three movements represented was put into place in 1981: the explicit goal of the so-called Reagan Revolution was to take the middle class down a peg and end the protests and social instability.”

When people recognize that this kind of proposal is not only possible but in fact is the only survivable option for the human race, we’ll be on our way to a thriving future. What used to be considered utopian is now the only reasonable way forward.

Truth to that. But history never moves forward because a majority wakes up to another way. It’s furthered by those who seem like outrageous radicals by the status quo of their time. I think a critical mass is rising up right now of those genuinely wanting to birth something new.
