Democracy On Fire
In "On Fire"
Naomi Klein reminds us
win/lose capitalism invites a cooperative action vacuum
and abhors restrictions on money-accumulating freedom,
But Earth,
healthy global climates,
wealthy ecosystems
invite regenerative win/win climax
of cooperatively nurturing health systems
and abhor inhumane definitions of "wealth"
as privately-held and autonomously sequestered currency
energy
natural resources
human resources
labor
equity
capital.
Climate health informs public sector values,
norms,
ecology of nutritional needs
and investment in cooperatively-held wants.
Capitalism's monopolistic version of "wealth"
informs private sector values,
greedy and predative norms,
theology of transcendent jealousy
and divestment from multicultural communion.
When Donald Trump successfully ran for President,
he explicitly ran against all things Obama,
against audacious hope in public sector cooperativism.
Like Nixon's "Southern strategy"
this was a way
to effectively say
"I am for Straight-White-Evangelical-Male-privileged capitalism,
so I am your safest Business As Usual investment."
This turns toward competitive debate
rather than cooperative dialogue,
and private sector CEO decision-making
rather than democratic grass-roots discernment,
and no public health-investment experience
into a "drain the social swamp" asset.
He did not mention
his nationalistic capitalism
is abhorrent to global climate health,
public health,
family health,
ecosystemic health,
ego-resilient health,
all of which are rooted in EarthJustice wealth,
regenerative action and win/win response
inviting cooperative social climax
within and between species
and all forms of natural/spiritual living energy systems.
When national Democratic Party leaders
declare objective NumberOne
for 2020 success
is to defeat Trump,
I 20/20 disagree.
This continues and further escalates a win/lose strategy
to out-capitalize the Trumpian icon of Capitalism,
rather than a democratic positive empowerment strategy.
This is a sub-optimal win/lose choice
because it pretends public sector win/win healthy outcomes
can be achieved with more
and more
and more private sector competitive incomes--
while Earth,
our regeneratively healthy home,
burns and melts and floods.
Green Democrats
look to a more resilient
resonant
robust cooperative investment in health.
Health of all kinds:
democratic co-investment health,
environmental health,
economic cooperative-ownership and -management health,
restorative justice health,
peaceful health,
green new deal health,
compassion health,
love health,
sacred health,
secular health,
ecological health,
theological health,
multicultural health,
polycultural health,
polyphonic flow health,
polypathic wealth,
polynomial interdependent intersectional health,
Resonant health,
resilient international health
for robust
climaxing
EarthPeace wealth.
