Wokism

In relation to our article Humanity’s operating system has been infected

An excellent article Sue. Wokism is about the essential an best human values, but they construe it as weakness, a mistake to be despised. But you do not identify the fundamental cause of the problem, and so many good critics of the system fail to do so. That is simply capitalism. It is a system driven by self interest and greed, the quest for limitless wealth via processes that cannot do other than drive out compassion and concern for the other, accumulate wealth in the hands of the winners, thus empowering them to increase control of the political system, and run things in their interests and impoverish the rest. Such a system cannot do other than produce the Musks and Trumps and thus take us towards fascism (again). We cannot get out of this swamp unless we somehow eventually get rid of capitalism, but so powerful is capitalist ideology that even the best on the (pathetic remnant of the ) “left” rarely dares to say so.

The good news is that capitalism is well into the process of self-destruction. This could be the end of us. all. but it will open the way for good people to build something better.
