Establishing and being part of a community shouldn't be about numbers and comparisons.

Communities is about sharing and caring, values, free and fair discussions.

We have to continue understanding that mutual aid matters more than 'strugle to existence'.

We are social beings not canibal individuals.

“There is an inherent tendency in #capitalism towards cronyism, and democracy enhances it. That means that capitalism is not sustainable in a #democracy, and those of us who defend #markets need to take that part of the argument from the left seriously. #Cronyism is not the opposite of capitalism. It is something that capitalism turns into in a political system that allows #freedom, and we should be worried about that. We should credit that as legitimate #criticism.”
