It’s entirely possible to have a world with guaranteed housing for everyone, solar and wind powered energy, fast and free public transit, high quality education and healthcare for all, well-funded libraries, healthier food, and a shorter work week. Those things are achievable now. Today.

It may be technically achievable, but that is not at all the same thing as being socially doable.
@adamgreenfield @benlockwood and -who- keeps it from being socially doable?
Environmentalists (a huge majority of people worldwide want stronger climate leg.)? Anti-cap leftists of various stripes? Feminists? Anti racists? or folks who support them?
Or is it more folks still -psychologically manipulated- by the lies told by dominance based warmongers, crapitalists, and bigots?
Like it or not, it’s oligarchs and emotionally stunted people who still believe the b.s. status quo apologists

@becha @benlockwood Yeah, but, dig: we’re constrained to work within the possibility space that’s available to us.
When in the history of humanity have resources ever been apportioned with universal equity? What attraction basins within the space of possibility offer us examples of any such condition even arising momentarily, let alone being sustained?
