JBrown, Esq

What a day. A week. A month. A year. 6 years. Decades.

Endless non defensive war, oligarchy, betrayal, propaganda, new regime same as the old regime, rinse, repeat.

Its time for something new. The debate over whether or not capitalism 'works' is finished. As capitalism matures, everything in the normal working class world gets worse, and this has been tested. We must build social economies, and the stress everyone is living through yet again should strongly highlight this. #generalaction

@johnbrown I don't disagree with you at all Mr. Brown - theoretically, once all the a**hats and A**holes are out of the social/political/economic equation what do you think the next cycle looks like? If we were together imagine we actually could get past this chaos and destruction level/stage - what have you seen/read as to how would/could we reorganize things and their order to get to the new version - do you think?

@kliebe we have to work internationally, we have to build resilient, sustainable social production systems for at least the basic essentials. Allowing working class housing to be dominated by speculative corporate investors, medicine, food, etc, is all an obvious dead end, and the profit motive itself is behind significant amounts of environmental damage worldwide.

Its time to start acting like everything is on the line here-- it is.

@kliebe im a big fan of professor Richard Wolff, the economist and teacher, and he produces a lot of strategic and educational content online and in his courses at the New School. As an example of someone with some good ideas about what to do going forward.

@johnbrown - I have seen some of his work and I appreciate the Marxist framework he uses for comparison and contrast to the dominant Capitalist worldview. While i certainly agree that economics is central to societies' well being I'm also interested in other influential systems conventions (from historical to "modern" times).
