Ready For A More Caring Economy – Democratic Socialism?

Do you now see what America has become: An Inverted Totalitarian State of, by, and for the capitalists? Would you like to know more about a system that puts people-before-profit, democratic socialism?

The COVID-19 pandemic is bringing out the worst in our predatory economic system: 

  • at a personal one-on-one level, some are abusing their freedom by spitting on someone protecting others with their mask, and
  • at the state and national level, government leaders are abusing citizens by pushing us to shop ’safely’ during a pandemic while others are yelling and spitting.

The ignored, hidden, and inherent short comings of authoritarian, predatory, capitalism have been exposed: hoarding, scarcity of TP and medical equipment caused by “just-in-time” supply chains (minimize inventory at the supplier), price gouging, increased denial of medical care and virus testing, explosive medical bills, bankruptcy and homelessness from massive unemployment, farmer/doctor suicides, profit-over-people, and hundreds of thousands of premature deaths from a new virus, much of which could have been avoided.

Something else that has been hidden and suppressed is the alternate to this abusive, authoritarian, economy.  This alternate has been attempted in the past and failed, but unlike the ignored failures of capitalism, this alternate system has been subject to open, critical, self-analysis.  Lessons were learned and reformation applied to remedy its failures.   Solutions for this alternate economic system have been continuously reviewed, tested, and changed.  Solutions now include democracy at work, not just in government.  This democracy takes form as coops.  Employees decide how business is conducted.  They won’t be shipping their jobs overseas or under paying their real profit makers, themselves.  They won’t be poisoning their host community – their neighbors.

If you’re receptive to learning more about this alternate, more democratic, economic system, democratic socialism, watch this video:
