Thanks for the link! I watched it all and he is right, we have to find a system that doesn’t rely on a growth model the planet cannot sustain.
How would this work in Coos County? It looks to me like capital would still be required to start something like this
Hard to say but I think you start with things people need and use everyday. Food, electricity, clothing are fairly obvious. We have a lot of well equipped machine shops in Coos County so maybe some could manufacture replacement axles or leaf springs or portable emergency generators or refurbish or rebuild alternators.
It all will have to start with conversation
Noam Chompsky stated it’s easier for people to envision the destruction of the earth than to envision democracy without capitalism. I’ll put this on today’s watch list. Thank you.
Thanks for posting this. Capitalism and Democracy are strange bedfellows and its time to split the sheets. This is a great blueprint to learn how this is being done “elsewhere”. Viewers should watch the whole video. It would transform everything if this Ideology can get inside the doors of Wal-Mart and the fast food industry.
