Wow. So nicely put ! It seem to me that collective rest may be achieved by worldwide job sharing. The rule is simple; hire twice as more people than needed in order to induce a labor shortage that will weaken China's economic grip. Part time workers will train better each other overtime, and become smarter. Part time workers will also waste less consume less and recycle better. Your opinion ?

Wow. “ But the individualism that tells us that societal revolution lies in our own individual bettering alone - even if it is our emotional or spiritual bettering - is also a product of capitalism.” I had to read this several times to truly absorb it because it was exactly what I was doing, and I’d never heard anyone say it was problematic. Thanks so much for pointing out the other side of the “rest is revolutionary” theory.
