    You basically said what I was going to, but the ideal world part I disagree with.

    A world in which enough is grown to feed everyone and enough profit is produced to meet everyone’s needs doesn’t need to be ideal. It’s a world we live in now.

    The above dude should just stick to attacking the ultra wealthy and like you said, not space programs.

    But like I was saying, an ideal world isn’t needed. Just about 30% of the rest of us to physically and verbally confront the few thousand or so who take too much.

      Ok, ideal is probably the wrong word here. What I meant is a world where narrowly focused efforts are actually fast and effective, it might be a good idea to heavily prioritise some stuff to deal with pressing misery-inducing issues faster. But as we currently are, that concept just isn’t rooted in reality.

        I see what you’re saying, and please don’t think I was attacking you, rather adding to your point.

        I think a world you described is one where that 30% I mentioned were way more engaged politically globally.

        As it not being rooted in reality that’s the ceiling I want to break. 1 million people in a country making direct, unified actions, unified by class could achieve many of those fast and effective efforts.

        I feel you though, I feel that we are moving at a fraction of the speed we ought to be and could be going towards progress and it’s almost maddening not seemingly being able to do anything except know how fucked it all is.
