It’s impossible to transition to natural and equitable forms of anything from agriculture to health care to economics without pushing up against the dominant principles of stockholder capitalism. We can’t fundamentally deal with anything until we fundamentally deal with that.

Why not start with what causes the rot all through the basket first? Fix the unethical practices of the 2 main political parties!

1000% If there is ever a legitimate "purity test" for leftism or progressivism or whatever you want to call it--maybe just decency--it's how openly you are willing to call out capitalism for the carnage it has wrought and for the doomsday cult it is. Shy from that and you're out.

Then why don’t you start by looking into Nancy Pelosi and other “enriched” law makers stock portfolio’s and their bank accounts?!

Every “form” of capitalism does this shit, Mar. You cannot compromise with it.

I dunno. Govt/Corporate collusion seems like a bigger issue to me. All the regulating agencies working for the corporations they pretend to oversee. Might create a block to any true free market principles that could ever attain competition based self-regulation.

Your words were on daily replay for me for several years. Lately, I have been pulling from them. I remember you saying you were bartending and you realized, Oh, I get it! This is a church! I loved that. I have been grateful to you for many years. Thank you.
