only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the
establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational

the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a
planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the
needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all
those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman,
and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting
his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of
responsibility for his fellow men in place of the glorification of power
and success in our present society…"</p><div class=""><a href="http://monthlyreview.org/2009/05/01/why-socialism/" class="">http://monthlyreview.org/2009/05/01/why-socialism/</a></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 17, 2015, at 10:15 AM, Stuart Levy via Peace-discuss <<a href="mailto:peace-discuss@lists.chambana.net" class="">peace-discuss@lists.chambana.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">

to believe that the moral character of the 1% should be
largely called into question, rather than that of those who
are consigned to being poor. But capitalism only encourages
that, and indeed rewards bad character traits, such as greed
for wealth and power. The only way to prevent their bad
character from ruining society for the rest of us is to
change society at a fundamental and structural level. That
way they can only inflict their bad character on their
families, and their families can issue them an ultimatum to
shape up.</span></div>
