    Maybe were not on the same page, but I have only seen assertions from you. I have no idea why you gave up. You just say its not possible.

    I think it is possible because of groups like the Icelandic commonwealth. We can organize lots of different ways. Many societies are much more equal than America so I think we can move in that direction.

    I think if there were solid research into it we could create a stable equal society.

        Why aren’t any big businesses worker coops? Because it’s harder to expand when you can’t force others to do it for your personal gain. Exploitative systems will move faster.

        I think this is a hard problem to solve but I’ve not given up on it. If egalitarian communities can be more resistant to strife they could grow faster in the long run.

        My hope is in the fact that many people are trying and near everyone wants it. It’s a good cause to be a part of.

        I live a privileged life within a very privileged country. I consider this luxury stolen. Many people that made my life possible got a very bad deal.

            It’s easier to be selfish and willfully ignorant

            And there you have it, conservatism in a nutshell

              I’d say that was more “fuck you I got mine” with a little “I suffered so everyone else should suffer”.

              Both are common parlance in the conservative screed, especially amongst the boomer parasites…
