(86 posts)If you read my entire post I said we need to change things. Lawfully. Which we can do in a "free market" by imposing our own bylaws and liberal and progressive ideals in businesses we start. Getting mad at your neighbors dog won't do you any good, all you can do is rear and raise your dog right.
We need to organize and back companies without profit being a sole pursuit. If we got our act together we could form investment funds and cooperatives where we started companies that manifested our goals and ideals. Have we done that, have rich "liberals" and "progressives" done that? No. And then we wonder why things won't change. Because we're not angry enough yet. But we can't just be angry. We have to be smart, coordinated, cooperative, and loyal.
The "free market" doesn't have to be our enemy. It can be that which aids us if we use it right and are smart about it. Waiting on a corrupt and bought-and-paid for government, to come to our aid and change things is bad idea. Are we waiting on a hero to save us? Haven't we waited before and been disappointed?
