Older white guy rants to me and a fem colleague about how the Ford government lets private long-term care coorprations/condo boards and landlords grift the living hell out of regular people, but prefaces his rant with, "and beleive me, I'm no socialist." I couldn't get a word in edge-wise, but I'd love to a have asked, "why not? And what do you want then?" I'm so glad that generally folks seem much more willing to use socialism and identify as a socialist (at least in the Anglo-Americas I experience) than they were even just 10 years ago, but encounters like these are bizzare. If you have a problem with private ownership of land, you really ought to have a problem with a socio-economic system that privileges just such an arrangement and trends, pretty well inevitability, towards (neo)liberalism and then the slide to fascism. Socialism (/anarchism/communism/communalism, etc.) is the alternative, friend.

Today's quote from Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto by Kōhei Saitō:
"We must say it plainly—communism or barbarism! This is the only choice left! It’s obvious we must choose communism. We must overcome our reflex to rely on experts and the state and proceed down the path to self-governance and mutual aid." (180)

Die Veranstaltung der Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung mit Kohei Saito zu seinem Buch »Capital in the Anthropocene: Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism« (auf Deutsch unter dem Titel »Systemsturz. Der Sieg der Natur über den Kapitalismus« erschienen) steht jetzt online.
Ich war nicht dort, lese das Buch momentan und finde es bisher ziemlich erhellend. #KoheiSaito #Saito #DegrowthCommunism #Systemsturz
