#Quote 1
"The most difficult question for a social #transformation will probably be how we change from competing lone warriors to cooperating individuals who are turned towards each other in the knowledge that our own well-being depends on the well-being of our fellow humans."

#Quote 2
"The problem is: Even if a majority realized it, most people couldn't imagine a viable alternative. #Capitalist categories are so deeply internalized in our minds that a non-authoritarian alternative is not conceivable for most of us!"

i'd object only in one thing: can't be reined. Its constituting principles are directly opposing a human livelihood. In capitalism, things are only produced in expectation of a profit. The benefit for the community has no relevance. And the measures to rise profits (rationalization, fragmentation, commodification) are causing the atomization of communalities. This must be transformed to a cooperative mode of living and producing in community.
