This week’s article is about little known events that occurred in the Russian Far East in the early 1990s, events that offer an important perspective on what’s required during a time of system change — that is, a perspective on what will be required to transition from capitalism to a life-centered society.
Good article and reminder Ravi! the statement about "We do not learn from our mistakes" caught my eye. Getting ready now before its hard is very very welcome. And I hope fun friendly collborating. May our footsteps be guided by Deep Nature and our collective ancestral intelligence. I am pretty sure we do not know how yet. However I sure am glad some of us have some ideas! Loved the younger you pics - I figured it out in the 2nd photo. Keep onward-ing fellow earthlings!
When "we" fail to learn from our experiences, we have all heard that we run the risk of repeating them, but what we don't hear and is also true, is that the "price tag" gets higher. Mr Logan makes a clear case for halving a viable alternative ready as the growing chaos creates new opportunities for systematic change, or else...!
Ms Mason make an excellent point about income. If you're not already familiar with it, a well researched and presented book on the topic is Ingrid Robeyns' "Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth", a pernicious problem at an extreme and very destructive level these days.
Thanks, Ravi. I am taking the class on Neohumanism and Prout from the Neohumanist College in Ashville. At least I will review, and hopefully stand up for the first action you mentions, which is to communicate, and disseminate, a new SOCIAL VISION based on new social values. One of the thing was in the same way we have a minimum wage, could we have a maximum wage?
There absolutely needs to be far greater wage equity. Is establishing a maximum wage the best way to achieve this. Many people think so. I have concerns, or rather I think there may be better approaches.
Very timely story of real life experience. I wonder if there isn't a sixth point that addresses push back against privatization while simultaneously reinforcing economic democracy.
This would come under the point "creating popular support." The labeling of this point in the article was not adequate. What will be required is to build a strong popular movement that can forcefully promote and defend the demands for a new social vision. Those who derive undue wealth from the present system will not willingly release their control.
