The market should not be society’s organizing principle; humanitarian values should be our organizing principle. From climate change to endless war to environmental toxins, it’s not hyperbole to argue that if uninterrupted the march of neoliberalism will literally destroy us all.

There are elements of both in my notion of a transformed society. Using those words simplistically doesn’t help.

The market is a product of society voluntarily organizing itself. It is not the mover. It is the effect.

The humanitarian war against environmental toxins (nuclear energy) 40 years ago largely is responsible for the carbon emissions we see today. Smart policy can't be dictated by sentimental environmentalism.

You really should oppose China and India opening new coal fired generating plants every week. The third world is creating exponentially more new pollution than we are.

They make up fear to control the masses. There's no climate crisis. I don't care how many times they repeat it.

Collective murder/suicide. Stunning to be a witness. But... I saw 2 monarch butterflies just now and a blue heron flew past me eye level and landed in my yard. And a white buck is hanging in the woods at the edge of the pasture so we’re not done yet. Nature is calling us home.

What is more humanitarian than having a market system that provides the highest quality and quantity of the goods, services, medicines, and leisure opportunities to the greatest number of people. Capitalism does that.
