We shouldn’t be leaving people to fend for themselves

The problem is how we do that in the most efficient way. Communism and socialism are not efficient.

We can start by picking low hanging fruit.

As someone wrote earlier, things were pretty great economically in the U.S. when the super rich were taxed as they were in the 50’s/60’s. We don’t need more Musk stinking up the place or Trumps destroying our democracy. Same with corporations.

Getting control of the population would help our species greatly as we run out of water and many other resources. This means, of course stopping the religious right from banning abortion and birth control. Fewer people means less pollution.

Change our political system so that the rich don’t hold all of the power. Oh, and get rid of the electoral college.

Responded to that here: Marxist humanism - #94 by lozenge

In the 50s/60s there were the reconstruction in Europe, which may have fueled the US economic (see coffee posts in the discussion I linked above).

Keynesianism sky-rockets public dept. Ask Japan and France.

I don’t like Elon Musk. Btw, I think he hurts a lot young people, especially young men, by his devastating advices and (apparent) lifestyle.
