Keeping socialist ideas alive I23 Jan. 29, 2015 You can’t let socialist ideas die because we still have capitalism and capitalism is unsalvageable, corrupt, it’s rotten, terrible, crisis-ridden system and should be changed.
I think the world is pregnant with dangers, to use an unfortunate metaphor, it’s pregnant, it’s full.
Maybe I am more confident that I’m going to see the end of the world in some sense than I actually am that I’m going to see the end of capitalism.
Everything will be privatized, more than fifty per cent of the people will live in total poverty, those who don’t will be eking by except for a much smaller top of the pile, [the] twenty-first century aristocracy, who have access to the latest technology to spy on us and control our behaviours.
It could be so good or it could be so awful and there seems to be this almost masochistic yearning for an apocalyptic future.
I think that the future looks grey.
As things become more desperate more people tend to seek other options for change and maybe they’re seeing current vehicles for change as just not even an option anymore.
