No suggestions? Didn’t think so

I have previously suggested Democratic Confederalism

And trusting the status quo and incrementalism isn't a suggestion either, we are running out of time

I have a buddy who started telling me about distributism, seems sound but as with most systems of organization it gets sloppy at scale.

We just need to go back to regulations of the 1950s-60s (economic ones). Radicalism isn’t going to fix fundamental structural problems, like how to have economic growth with population decline (has never happened in history, outside of possibly Japan, depending on how you interpret ‘population decline’ and ‘economic growth’)

Not really sure what you guys are talking about but term limits in Congress would help our government significantly. Problem is I think Congress would have to vote to give themselves term limits so it will never happen.

It will work great once everybody has the same aspiration in life and the world is rid totalitarianism.

That’s an easy fix with some guts from the public and doesn’t require radicalism

A+ buddy

Agreed. Pull the plug on public sector unions, along with cooperate lobbying and we would be on our way to big improvement.

I agree with this but we need to also become nationalistic because we cant save everyone.

I am not the one talking about primitivism, you brought that one up

I don't see why a post-capitalist society would need to be primitive or totalitarian, and I am deeply skeptical of incremental change
