in reference to the ever cycling social media world, my brain kept going to the phrase "capitalism really popped off today". i think one of the things i personally aim to push back on the standard capitalism is putting my money with people and businesses that align with my beliefs. you mentioned how you were doing it because you thought it was the right thing to do, and i still think it is! i think on the small scale, i feel better knowing my money isn't going to the people who actively fight for the things that go against mine and the people i love and/or support best interests!! i love this perspective and i think i need to add some books to my TBR.
100% agree.. we live under capitalism, so very hard to just avoid it but thinking about where we spend our money and with who is a big improvement. I definitely have a different understanding of the importance of shopping small or local.
Nice piece. Thanks. It’s no coincidence that the list of happiest, healthiest nations is dominated by socialist ones. Unfettered capitalism is codified selfishness which idolizes greed and power. Nordic socialism presents a more sharing, humane mindset. On this Easter Sunday, it seems appropriate to examine which path more closely resembles that of Jesus, the Buddha, indigenous people…
