How Can Any Of Us Working People Survive Doing "Business As Usual" Any Longer?

Because make no mistake here. We are in the position we are in now precisely because this is where "Big Money" has put us. Big money fighting for the right to do whatever it wants to the environment (especially as it relates to energy). Big Money telling us we need to fight wars to protect their various resource interests. Big Money fighting to produce the next money making weapons system (whether that is what might make us actually more secure or not). And Big Money wanting to keep all of its largess because that is, of course, the only way they'll have the reserves to pay their way into some sort of survivable enclave: whereupon you shouldn't be surprised when they start telling you that humanity needs the new "Elysium" space station. The one where they will get their ultimate gated community, to sit in orbit somewhere above it all as the rest of us wallow in the misery of so many problems we let them not only blow smoke up our butts about, but for which nothing was ever done to actually address.

Get this through your head. Nobody will win the next war. Nobody. Period.

It does not matter who might prevail in any nominal sense of battlefield victory. The resulting devastation to the entire world economy, let alone the further devastation done to the environment, will put all nations at great risk for any kind of continued survival.

The only thing that will save humanity now is to recognize that we have allowed the four dangerous competitions (for resources, markets, technological and military superiority), that Capitalism created, and now only makes worse, to fester to the point of boiling over. And it will only be by negotiating and end to them that we will survive. And I can tell you, without much fear of contradiction, that this will never happen until we rid ourselves of this horrible, toxic, monstrosity, we call Capitalism, for once and all.
