Me thinx we need to move toward reconciliation, as South Africa is doing with its history. Long ago, at the beginning of her campaign Sen Elizabeth Warren said that we need reconciliation, and she did not know the path. But she knew we need to begin the conversation.
Our capitalist and individualist society breaks the souls of us all, to the point we do not see ourselves in the other. All too many people are hurting in this society and across the globe.
We need to address the inherent poverty built into capitalism, here, across Africa and throughout the globe. We must address the inhumane nature of capitalism - that people are allowed to die on our streets, from a bullet, from poverty, from addictions, from suicides.
Capitalism and our rabid individualism is killing us.
I believe our Progressive Caucus in the US House ought to lead, with Pres. Biden, on this nationwide conversation around reconciliation, individualism and capitalism.
