Imagine a world where there is no war, no hunger, no homelessness, no preventable disease & no lack of healthcare. Imagine a world where the earth has been repaired and all food is natural & energy clean. Then spend a minute taking in the realization that all of that is possible.

Marianne I wish you ditch Ds and run independently.

All possible, yet improbable - certainly under existing economic and social conditions. A wholesale and total paradigm shift must occur - which will mean a yet unknown system must replace existing structures. We're at the precipice. We'll either soar or succumb to our deaths.
Replying to @marwilliamson
It is impossible in a competitive system that requires an underclass, is based on competition and scarcity, and requires endless consumption and ecological destruction to produce products. It IS possible, but we have to fundamentally change not just our intentions but the SYSTEM.

And it would be easier to manage and afford compared to the system we have in place now.

It is not possible under capitalism where endless profit growth is the order of the day, and where if you can't pay you can't have for the necessities of life.

That’s a world without human beings.

I imagine that often cuz that’s what is #idealists do ✨
Replying to @marwilliamson
But we can't have billionaires or massively excessive consumption in that world, which, sadly, makes it less popular than the world we have now.
