Continuing the last post, there already exists certain political-economic strategies that
support the Commons. Ocasio-Cortez, an avowed democratic socialist, won
in her NY district. She joins Sanders and others in the US Congress that
have this vision, which includes environmental protection and
transitioning to renewable energy. For example, the following excerpt
from the Democratic Socialists of America website:
"Changes in individual behavior and technology can buy time but are insufficient
to save the biosphere as long as 'free enterprise' allows huge
corporations to continue polluting. The entire production system must be
transformed; we must change the way society decides to allocate
resources in the interdependent web of the world economy. Securing an
environmentally sustainable production system will require fundamental
political and social change on every scale from household to planet."
"The environment can be sustained by collective stewardship as our
material needs are securely met by a fair distribution and sharing of
resources, and our psychological needs are met through an ethos
fostering cooperation rather than acquisition and competition."
