  2. Growing up, I was always told to mock #socialism as a form of utopianism, as if that was a bad thing. #Utopianism was never a belief that something would happen, or that anything would be perfect. It was a thought experiment to consider what a perfect outcome would look like, so we could implement the ideas and get as close as possible. Meanwhile, #capitalism , #conservatism , #liberalism , and #libertarianism are just as #utopian in their dreams. Capitalism and libertarianism believe that if we JUST get government out of the way, we could have the #freemarkets work the way they are supposed to and lead to prosperity for all, never mind that corporations only exist because of #bankruptcy laws and standards created by Congress. Modern conservatism believes that if we just went back to a specific, unspecified time point when religion ruled, we would have prosperity again, never mind that America was never like that, even when we were at our most religious. #Liberals believe that if freedom, equality, and equity are guaranteed, but with a true free market that does require governments to regulate it, we would have true prosperity. The only difference is that #Marx , using arguments by #AdamSmith himself, poked holes in all of these ideas at their core. That the structure itself needed an overhaul of who holds power, or at least patched with a strong welfare state, and to work toward that utopian dream where the people held the power instead of the lords or #oligarchs and everyone was a lawmaker with direct democracy, there was a return of #thecommons that was just the norm for most of human history, and #personalproperty was something you physically used, erned and worked instead of from trading, hoarding and wasting while people starved aka #privateproperty . The day the lords stole the commons from the people was the day that socialism started to exist, with the Diggers and the Levelers attempting to take on the power of the lords and realizing they already ran their own villages, or communes and affairs in their areas, and the lords were just a middleman that contributed little to nothing. Hence the term #communism , which is a return to the natural commons people like #John Locke and #Voltaire and other #Enlightenment thinkers idealized, but capitalism has brainwashed people to ignore, forget, or never know in the first place they believed this while we were told to look up to them. Utopianism gives us the power to dream, to coalesce our ideas and our ideals. When we were told not to dream of our ideal world but were told to dream of their ideal, that's when the dream died and we just all became doomers.

  6. Engineer says 50 years of erosion research ignored by government and courts

    "I've come to the conclusion, after 50 years, that there's very little other option than for the Australian government, Australia-wide, to just simply say, 'You can enjoy the coast while it's there, but property owners cannot protect their property.' End of story," Mr Gordon said."

    "The Byron and Tweed Shire councils were urged to control development within 1 kilometre of the shoreline, and stipulate landholders who disregarded the policy did so "at their own risk".

    The paper 'Beach law in the anthropocene' "reviewed legal systems around the world and found private property rights trumped public interest...Our common law tradition assumes coastlines are stable and coastal property boundaries can be fixed...But as the effects of climate change become more dramatic, those assumptions no longer hold."

    "Professor Smith said it was time for tough discussions about a transition strategy.
    "We really need to think about what sort of future we want for the coastal zone, and we need to resolve who bears the ultimate rights and responsibilities for these lands — whether we are going to preference private property rights over public rights, whether we're going to preference people's rights over nature's rights," he said."

  11. Propriété privée : le règne de la puissance étrangère

    Chez Marx, la propriété privée ne produit pas seulement des choses : elle produit des rapports de domination.
