Is the system of representative governing a problem or is it that the developed human society, globally, is run by financial elites, for the benefit of financial elites, victimizing 99% of our species well being and the health of our planetary biosphere for personal profits?
I see the problem more as an economic systems problem than a political one. Money runs our politics so of course those with the most assets controls our society for their own benefit, regardless of the costs to Others. So, we can take money out of politics, break up media and other monopolies, and redistribute the global wealth more fairly and work towards all people having their basic needs met without destroying the ecosystem and nurture creative and innovative solution and productive oriented education that builds on what our species has built instead of destroying it.......... or we can have more of the same lies,misrepresentations and idologically run power hierarchy crap that we have been underwriting for decades....... It's ALL about POWER and PROFIT currently if you just listen to mainstream sensational newsmaking (for profit), but underneath this most noticeable media streams, an alternative human world is building strength below the radar. Whether community permaculture, the makers movement, local currency systems and hundreds of other positive human interactions and network/power building going on, solution oriented dynamic action is occurring everyday. Building on that is the opportunity for all of us. I believe Steemit is part of this alternative systems solution building projects....... Care for humans, care for the planet that's real. Money is an imaginary construction we all agree to for convenience, but it is based on BELIEF not real Value. Banks create money from nothing everyday and we pay them interest on this made up idea.... It's crazy really. If you think about it too much, it drives you to self medicate, so just act in a positive way everyday and try not to let the b@#%$#&'s get you down....
Thanks for the conversation boosting post....... oc
