Their lives endangered by the very #capitalist #colonialism that displaced their #Indigenous ancestors, centuries ago
The same that now provides comfort to some, while #marginalizing others
They're endangered by the color of their skin alone, by #poverty, by #disability, by #xenophobia
I'm trying to wrap my head around why #liberalism went from a humanistic pursuit out of the enlightenment, into am ideology that only seems to care for people in the abstract.
It would be interesting to try and reframe liberalism into a collectivist framework, without the zero-sum freedom mindset we got used to lately.
For that, the #capitalist urge to try and see everything as a market to exploit needs to go. Also, any individual need has to be translated into a common need.
Possible?

@gleick
this is also an example of #capitalist market forces at play in private for profit #prisons (concentration camps or cheap labor pool for bigCorps).
Now #bigCorp will see the profit in having prisons in multiple jurisdictions. Everyone makes a profit, the bigCorp cutting the political players in and we now have #fascism on a global scale with #bigCorp running the world.
no courts, or oversight by anyone.
The death of democracy at a global scale.
#democracy is more than voting.

#Capitalist " #antifascism" is extremely limited, consisting of certain idealists who want to try to fix the problems of capitalism's crises of profitability in less brutal ways, but they absolutely do not have a long-term solution to the capitalism's inevitable decline & are wasting the left's time.
#Capitalist #Colonial societies are built upon ever-growing mountains of death, blood & ash.
#Disabled #Indigenous #Latina family raising to survive death imposed by the very #colonization those with luxuries benefit from.

Even if a #Progressive is elected, hypothetically speaking, they won't be able to do the shit they say cos they'll be backed into a corner.
#Congress, #Politicians & #Corporations & #WallStreet will not let it happen.
A tiny minority of people still get a say, there's still #exploitation, there would be a #CapitalStrike which would lead to #civil unrest and possibly a coup to take power back for #capitalist class with the forces of the #reactionary.

If #civilization began again from scratch, what kinds of societies would evolve next time? #Communal, #capitalist. #theocratic, #meritocratic, #secular, #egalitarian, #exploitive? Societies are usually a combination of these types, but do they always combine as we expect them to? Are our choices about the type of #society we create completely up to us, or are we constrained by the environment and circumstance?

bretthodnett.comHUMANA remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.

#capitalist: I want to have a better life than everyone else
#socialist: I want everyone to have a better life
Let's be honest: the #capitalist class doesn't make concessions unless they fear #revolution. The only reason for the #NewDeal in the #US or the social-democracies in Western #Europe was because the #SovietUnion existed and it was a threat.
Just curious: What do you consider the first #capitalist society?
Generally, folks seem to think of the 19th century. Roughly when #Industrialisation moved the power to exploit people from "power by noble birth" (#Feudalism) to "power by capital ownership" (#Capitalism) on a large scale. With a lot of overlap, of course.
Yet some Marxists as well as "Capitalism= #PrivateProperty" folks argue an earlier beginning of capitalism.
