“In a crisis, what was once unthinkable can suddenly become inevitable. We’re in the middle of the biggest societal shakeup since the second world war. And neoliberalism is gasping its last breath. So from higher taxes for the wealthy to more robust government, the time has come for ideas that seemed impossible just months ago."

"If there was one dogma that defined neoliberalism, it’s that most people are selfish. And it’s from that cynical view of human nature that all the rest followed – the privatisation, the growing inequality, and the erosion of the public sphere. Now a space has opened up for a different, more realistic view of human nature: that humankind has evolved to cooperate. It’s from that conviction that all the rest can follow – a government based on trust, a tax system rooted in solidarity, and the sustainable investments needed to secure our future. And all this just in time to be prepared for the biggest test of this century, our pandemic in slow motion – climate change."

It is a bit like Gandhi's "and then you win", only that after you win they take you down....

“Awesome” is NOT an awesome comment. “Nice” is NOT a nice addition to the dialogue. “Interesting” is NOT usually interesting to others. “Good” is usually a BAD response. “Upvote” is a quick path to a DOWN vote. On the Relevant platform you can earn REL Coins form upvoting and betting on RELEVANT content (see it’s right in the name). There is no benefit to posting irrelevant comments. They are a nuisance. If you think an article or comment is valuable, upvote it, but do not post anything unless it is genuinely going to add real value to the dialogue.
