The world population wonders how people will continue to aspire to create great things and embark on great achievements without money. It is rather embarrassing to be a human when people express these narrow-minded thoughts. Why would human ambition and the desire to create vanish without the incentive of money? In a post-capitalist social economy, if done correctly, everyone would have everything they need. Therefore, everyone would be free to create lives for themselves in which they can express their true dreams, desires, and motivations for self-determination. How then can one say that only money brings us advancement? And do you not demonstrate your own desire to see others live in poverty when you want these motivations of greatness to be the few who are in the privileged position to gain access to financial reward?
This all shows that people want others to suffer. I no longer know if an advanced, progressive socio-normative educational reform will ring the desire to harm others out of social understanding and placement. It is possible, and we must consider, that the human species is designed for self-harm, the desire to see others suffer, and the greed of only limited individual achievement, while others have nothing. What we can take away from this is that we must try to break through the barrier of limited human understanding. I do not know which must come first, education reform or abolishing capitalism. I can no longer determine the best course of action to see the most positive results that are mapped out correctly. I am failing as an anti-capitalist.
The ecology of capitalism shows how determined we are to bring to fulfillment both our individual, selfish capitalist desires, and to see those motivations impact the Earth, our environment, and the very land we are the inhabitants of. How far can these psycho-social desires to bring so-called human achievement into fruition be determined by limitations, scarcity, suffering, and needless sacred individualism? The human species, collectively, desires a game of survival so that the few can have what only the one could be.
I no longer know if we deserve such a gifted life that a post-capitalist society would bring. What I can see is that we are not only in an extreme climate crisis, but also an ontological crisis of individualism and humanity that must be confronted if we are to survive in a resemblance of manner that seeks out justice, peace, and the warm desire to see other be their best selves. Is that so hard? Is that asking so much? As children we are taught to respect the boundaries of others. How can we forget these basic life lessons? That we are alive within a social order filled with other people that all deserve respect, space, and time to be their best selves. We must act quickly if we are to ward off this current direction of self-centered-layered downward projection of human progress. We must help others redefine the very idea of progress.
