I understand that a capitalist system tells us earning money is the only way to have what we need, but it is a lie. We only value money over humans and our planet because we choose to. We only go out into the marketplace and compete for our survival because we choose to. We have all the resources in this planet to provide the basic needs for every human being without them having to ‘earn it’ - we could choose to do this, in the same way we chose to assign meaning to printed pieces of paper with dead presidents on them. They only have meaning because we give it such. For our planet’s future, we must begin to choose different priorities. To continue like this is slow suicide…
