from "Economics, Politics, and Reality"

The West's workers are rich. The majority is rich, they have solidarity among themselves and vote to their short term self interest. They squander the real economy.
The World should not follow them, but live frugally, and use mutual aid and co-operation by choice, if not, they will become a necessity for survival as economic disaster destroys the social fabric. By the time that lesson is learned, many will have perished.
Mutual Aid and Co-operation are not indigenous in Cities, they are found in Rural areas, rarely surviving more than a few generations as civilisation infects decent people and rots them in the cities. As long ago as 1889, Edward Carpenter was seeking to find a society which had been infected by the disease Civilisation, survived, and passed on to a more normal and healthy condition.
Western civilisation is certainly heading for big trouble.
