Suppose we lived in communities, nations and the world where the fruits of the inventiveness, creativity and labor of countless human generations are recognized as the common birthright of us all, shared for the common good and general prosperity of all. Suppose the way our human society worked upheld the freedom of every person to fulfill their potential as individuals in a way that also allowed us, together, to build a more equal society. Suppose the long history of different iterations of concentrated income and wealth was no longer the overriding imperative of our economic and political systems, locally and globally. Suppose we could relegate to the ash heap of history the bigotries that are fomented by the powerful to divide everyday people. Suppose we were able to build prosperity across national boundaries and work together for common public services, locally and globally, that ensure that no one wants for anything that our common birthright of inventiveness, creativity and labor obviously makes possible to provide to all. Suppose we are finally able to put war behind us and, of necessity, replace it with an equal, fair and just global economic and political reality, in which the common good for all is the only imperative, and the power and wealth of any oligarchy is not at all.
These great and good objectives are very much possible. The first step to achieving them is to defeat the notion, maintained by the powerful, that they cannot be accomplished, and foster the belief among everyday people that a better future is possible and can be achieved. Then the task is building it.
And the means to accomplishing these things is organizing.
