No thank you. There’s nothing of value a capitalist can teach us. Except as you said, what NOT to be.

The average American has been conditioned to accept the role of subjugation to cartels and slavery to consumerism. So collectively, we the masses, have no power to stir.

To break bonds requires enlightenment. Which in turn requires facing uncomfortable truths. The Capitol Hill mob raises questions. Which of course no one in power wants to answer. Outrage and revulsion yes, we must feel, at the loss of life. But not at broken windows or loose mortar. No building is holier than human life.

Those hordes are Americans who are marginalized and fodder for demagogy. You and I can agree to disagree on this one. Millions of Americans are now desperate. Look to their needs or perish.
