part of the problem with the rapid growth of nebulous “socialism” is that many new-comers approach with the liberal top-down idea of government. this is the idea that you vote for a leader who then makes the rules and tells you what to do, and if you don’t like them you get a new one.
the socialist mode of organizing needs to be the opposite, bottom up. the people make the rules, and choose leaders to execute. if you pick leaders, it’s not to put them in charge, but to burden them with the task of directing the energy of the group.
if we don’t cultivate participation and active democratic governance, our movements are doomed to be another face for liberalism.
- me, looking at the current state of the world, crying: I wish none of this had happened...
- Gandalf, materialising in my conscience, smiling kindly: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, besides the will of evil.
No one ‘earns’ millions and billions of dollars like do people not understand that. It’s the result of strategic exploitation. Like someone had to be paid pennies a day for years for someone else to make that kind of money
