Why do so many people insist it is not possible to have a better world than we do?
Why do we not believe in people enough to think that a "utopia" can be realistic, rather than just a word that means "fantasy"?
Capitalism is failing, it is failing the environment, it is failing huge numbers of people - I mean, we have a system of economy that regular allows millions, literally millions, of people to starve to death.
We live in a world where Bill Gates can have a fortune of millions, and people in Korea are starving, people in Ethopia are starving, people all over the world dont even have basic health care or security, people in Indonesia, China, many places, work under terrible sweat shop conditions. Is this the best we can do? If we do not strive for something better, not just a few tweaks and regulations, but to turn everything upside down and create a world where we do not allow these things to happen, what hope is there for us?
