Study histories, social systems, anthropology, ecology.
Look around.
Perform “rapid appraisals”1
Locally and globally.
Capitalism has torn social fabrics
In China, India, Africa
And of indigenous peoples
In the Americas
And all over the globe.
Relatively non-regulated, neo-liberal capitalism
(Embodied by Donald Trump,
And the major reason
Trump should not be looked to as a leader)
Has destroyed: top soils,
Immense quantities of quality waters,
And sustainable systems of: photosynthesizers/
Biodiversity/
Local and global nature.
Democratic socialism
(Embodied by much
Which has happened
In recent times
In Scandanavian countries …
And by Bernie Sanders)
Has been much more moral and ethical,
And easier on the natural resource base …
Leading us to more resilience and sustainability,
And … if given a chance
(After or during robust ecology2 across curricula and campuses
Of all human organizational entities)
Democratic eco-socialism
Has potential to help begin to transform
Eaarth to Earth.
