It exploits non-human species by treating them as objects for human use. Forest clearance also destroys habitat which leads to species extinctions. Fourthly, I ask everyone to plant their own vegetable garden, to organise or participate in a community garden, or to buy organically grown food from a local food cooperative. This will increase the degree of your economic self-reliance. The global economic system called capitalism, and its offshoot socialism, are grossly inadequate economic systems which are not designed to satisfy the needs of ordinary people.
Capitalism is like a giant game of Monopoly.
In Monopoly, the aim is to progressively eliminate all other players until only the winner is left. Similarly, capitalism works by concentrating wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer people while increasing the number of people who are excluded from the mainstream economy. We can be a part of this process by making changes in our own lives and in our own communities. Fifthly, I ask everyone to refuse to vote in federal and state elections and to express their political commitment in more creative ways. The structures of parliamentary government are neither truly representative nor genuinely accountable.
