    Isnt china mostly destroying the biosphere and failing to meet basic needs? Rural china is still cooked and people in the city are working 80hr weeks living in a tiny box.

    The western world meets the basic needs of 99+% of the population and has a lot more environmental protection.

      I’d argue the USA and China are both Auth Cap, but coming from different directions. We need Stakeholder Socialism that focuses on aligning ownership and control of the economic firms into the hands of those directly impacted by their ecological and economic impacts. A coöp commonwealth is a good example.

        aligning ownership and control of the economic firms into the hands of those directly impacted by their ecological and economic impacts

        Can you explain this a bit more? It seems so far out I am struggling to see how this would look.
