Yes,
It’s gotta work next time.

Because the capitalism has worked out so well.

social democracy 2.0!

Is social capital exhausted when looked at the labouring end to support activity higher up ... hubris?

Hi,
Not sure what you are asking? If you elaborate I will respond.

How about this as a start point?

“Before colonial capitalism, there existed what she (Roxanne Dunbar-Ortizshe) calls “indigenous socialism.” The destruction of that economy through war, denial of self-determination, dispossession, criminalization and violence against women affected no group more than indigenous people, but they weren’t the only ones.”

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, a writer, teacher, historian, and social activist, is Professor Emerita of Ethnic Studies and Women’s Studies at California State University, East Bay, and author or editor of numerous scholarly articles and books, including the award-winning An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, as well as two other memoirs.

A bit from the Canadian side, the key words being “communal” and “egalitarian”:

“Although the Cree strived to maintain a communal and egalitarian society, some individuals were regarded as more powerful, both in the practical activities of hunting and in the spiritual activities that influenced other persons. (See also Shaman.) Leaders in group hunts, raids and trading were granted authority in directing such tasks, but otherwise the ideal was to lead by means of exemplary action. Some of the most well-known Cree chiefs and leaders include Mistahimaskwa (Big Bear), Pitikwahanapiwiyin (Poundmaker) and Piapot — all of whom strove to maintain traditional ways of life in the face of change after the arrival of Europeans.”

“Despotism is a legitimate mode of government in dealing with barbarians...”. John Stuart Mill in “On Liberty”

This was the dominant view of the ‘enlightened’ leaders who exploited and oppressed indigenous peoples on all continents, was it not? It continues in play wherever capitalism seeks its advantage, no matter what the cost to persons of difference.

Reminds me of sinking into the Tar Zans ... in the deepest Africa ...

I think the phrase “A node in the interdependent web” correlates with the possibility of socialism. Each of us intersecting with all of us in a shared environment to obtain the greatest possible good. A matter of “we” trumping “I”. A contradiction of what C. B. MacPherson called “possessive individualism” and Frederick Vaughan called “political hedonism.”

And the disturbed ends up so unstable because of the dissonance group ... a large sector?

Perhaps the whole thing was whitewashed? A' wash with white folks in the immersion of life ... might not work either ...
