Amos,

It's probably thru my work as a therapist that I suspect we learn more from our own discoveries and realisations than anything others propose. I could be quite wrong. So I'm not optimitic about the possible effects of the following.

Every part of your postings seem to take the rules of capitalism as normality,givens,not apparently themselves to be examined. You delineate clearly how the system operates without questioning any of it in terms of,
what alternatives could there be,
why has this system arisen to be the way it is,
is it moral,
whose interests does it serve,
whose interests does it work against,
how has ownership come about,
is property theft(Proudhon),
what is the basis of our system,
what is the world-view of capitalism and what others are there?

As I say,none of these (and many other) questions seem to hove into view in your accounts.,despite your saying you're all in favour of bringing forth hidden assumptions.

For anyone really interested in probing,there's a library of stuff that does all this far better than me. They will already be on to it.
