The first step to fixing something is understanding the problem.
The current social order is designed to be a system of corruption. At every level, it is set up to allow people with money to insert themselves and take control. From businesses and non-profits to governments and media, this corruption permeates society.
Currently most of the world lives in a system we call global capitalism.
Capitalism is a game. A set of artificial rules. Ones that separates us from nature. Based on domination and self-interest. It’s mythology says that it was designed to make life easier for people. It promises the end to a fictional struggle to survive.
It's fundamental flaw is exchange or specific reciprocity, giving something with an expectation of getting something in return. Exchange creates the incentives for self interest and reduces relationships based on interdependence.
Capitalism is a system that puts profit above all else. This leads to certain corruptions and perversions.
For example.. once a resource becomes scarce... instead of conserving that resource, capitalism places higher and higher prices on it. making it more profitable to exploit till the end. encouraging the final extinction. the higher price opens up previously unexploited resources that were too expensive to extract.
For example, capitalism is killing the forests which are necessary to the health of the planet. We say killing because the forest is alive, not just trees, but millions of other plants and animals, all interdependent on each other.
Capitalist education systems are designed to create complacent self interested workers.
Universities are designed to encourage persistence in a hopeless system, and weeds out the creative people.
Health care is corrupted by insurance companies and the incentives in place are to make people more sick. A health care system based on exchange and profit will only exploit illness. instead of curing disease it prioritizes maintenance, extending problems and encouraging recurrence.
Housing, the basis of any society, other than food, is too costly for most to afford. not because land is scarce, but because the market is artificially inflated the cost of shelter for the purpose of profit. realtors, developers, mortgage, ... all make a gluttonous profit.
Food is produced using chemicals that are damaging our health and the environment. Creating a population that the earth cannot sustainable support. The population above sustainable levels exists because of oil inputs into the food supply.
The problems with capitalism cannot be fixed from within the system
it was designed to resist change and to favor certain people.
the people who benefit from this system have a great interest maintaining it
the system has been designed to marginalize those who try to change it.
The problems, created by the market, self interest, exploitation, cannot be solved by the market.
The system is designed to waste our energies fighting it.
The propaganda is in full support of the capitalists. Whenever people watch entertainment and news, play video games, read social media, they are being infused with capitalist propaganda.
The media empires are now in the hands of the people who favor domination and exploitation. They blame the poor for poverty, women for rape, exploitation is deserved. survival of the fittest. social Darwinism.
but... It doesn't have to be this way.
