You're absolutely right that it's hard for people to imagine an alternative. I also think capitalism's PR and propaganda have been incredibly effective. That machine has instilled a deep fear in the majority. I married someone from rural Middle America, and the way small communities prioritize the collective could be a master class in alternative economic models. Smart, caring individuals in these communities often agree with my critiques in principle—but the moment I put a label on it, they shut down. It’s not a left vs. right fight; it’s a top vs. bottom fight. I agree as long as people are convinced to fight each other instead of questioning the system, nothing changes.
