I hear you, but It’s impossible to create a working model. The US literally toppled South American governments to make its resource markets open to our market capitalists. Look what we’ve inflicted on Cuba for half a century, and I look to their survival in the face of it as inspirational.
The global market capitalists endeavor to exploit and enshittify every national economy that dares to serve its citizens over private shareholders at every turn, to dehumanize societies for profit.
You may be right, that if all we can do is make claims in our appeal for radical action, the market capitalists will maintain power. To that I say, that is probably what will happen. This isn’t a fairy tale or a movie where everything will work out in the end, the trajectory we’re on leads to hell for our species, and we will in all likelihood arrive to that hell. If we’re too comfortable or too afraid to do otherwise in spite of the evidence and increasingly our experience of the consequences, this only ends one way.
Market capitalism has been tested, run its course, and imho, it takes a fool not to declare it a complete failure and danger to the species. But I’m just a random perceptive asshole, so that doesn’t change anything.
Difficult but I disagree that it is impossible. All things end eventually, even capitalism. The question is how can we best move towards that inevitable end? I think practicing what we preach in an organized collective manner is a key element that has been missing.
