we have been, and will continue to, go through some massive changes and upheavals. It appears that that one aspect is easy to agree on for many and that the mounting problems we face, individually and collectively, are going to sound a trump that grows louder and clearer.
This video offers another perspective which, at the very least, suggests alternatives albeit that the one offered as an imposed, enforced system has not proven itself in practice. This is a good time to look over and consider various alternatives keeping in mind that circumstances can create instability so overwhelming that alternatives may be able to emerge and being informed, having insights and having the capacity to choose might come in handy.
I would hope that we see something emerge, (I use that term for a specific reason) that might be a synthesis of valid solutions relevant to our current social and political dynamic. Obviously, the words being used eclipse the intentions and meanings behind them here. Socialism and Communism, while familiar terms, are now loaded with negative connotations and tend to serve the increasingly divisive aspects of those struggling to envision and enact a more practical and equitable structure for this species.
It might be better to steer away from the "isms" and focus on the intents specifically. World and societal systems are complex and dynamic and appear, to me, to be emergent, (consider ant colony activity, etc.) yet, we can consider our personal aspects in that process as influential to some degree, i.e., how we act, react, and interact.
