2. Capital has globalized - and so must workers

I am in solidarity with workers worldwide. Everyone should have a dwelling, nourishment, health care, education and a job. These are basics and should not be dependent upon how wealthy your parents are. No one - at all - should be a billionaire while others are homeless.

If we start with basic principles and stick to them, we can figure out how to make it work. I think we will be able to do it with socialism as an economic system, although not sure we'll get there in my lifetime. I know we won't do it with capitalism because it is an inherently unequal system by design that makes this world suck.
