People need to discuss how to overcome capitalism and patriarchy. We have to show alternatives, to reach equal social living and working conditions for all people.
Occupy the factories; production under the control of the organised workers, neighbourhood councils, and LAICISM without compromise. Free education, health care and water; jobs which ensures for all decent lives.
Full political participation = DIRECT instead of "representative" DEMOCRACY!
Its American Imperialism at its heart. Americas Foreign policy is the driving force behind global corporate domination. Ultimately it is the corporations and those at the top that dictate the expansion and those that get the positions in US govt.
@freedem I'm a fan of Lakoff's work as well. I'm not sure Klein really is the right person to speak to both sides, I'm not sure she's trying to, regardless more people in the progressive community need to listen to her. Perhaps someone like David Korten is better suited to speak to the right-wing, as he used to actually be a conservative. His books are very good as well.
@shaynek788 It is not speaking to both sides that is needed but to speak in Lakoff's NP framing that is needed. Those who already agree with her are used to dealing against SF framing and automatically substitute np framing as they hear it. To the ear of those who have not however (and not just the far right but those less dogmatic) such framing comes off badly and can be counter productive.
More importantly it changes the details of how the actual policies are made, to much better result also.
Right on sister! Now if only people can adapt to a changing way of thinking about living in general. Consumerism is our downfall....it is time to get back to sustainable living and taking care of each other and the planet rather than corporate America & wall street magnates.

I forgot to mention. I guess that the increasing temperature on Mars and the other planets in our Solar System is also due to green house gasses ?
