An unholy alliance of capitalism without a conscience & government without a soul has led us to the precipice. This crisis though painful is an important wake-up call. Ethics not greed must be the light that guides us & humanitarian not economic principle must be our bottom line.

we can disagree, I think forces inherent in capitalism will always produce a selfish, individual outcome. btw
@marwilliamson I really appreciated you calling out the US govt for imposing sanctions on Venezuela, Iran & Cuba during this medical crisis.
But that’s what govt is for: to regulate those forces. It’s when corporate money begin wielding an undue influence on govt that rules and regulations were thrown away. We have always pushed back against overreach by capitalism, e. child labor laws, unions, etc. And we need to now

I say that is an American of course, and I’m talking about the American government.

"Accumulation of wealth at one pole is, therefore, at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental degradation, at the opposite pole, i.e., on the side of the class that produces its own product in the form of capital." Google it.

Thank you
@marwilliamson for speaking to this. We push against an overreach of capitalism & cronyism. Individuals having capital is not, in and of itself, bad. We have the power to do such great good for one another, while supporting ourselves & familes, with capital.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
