In a wealthy society there is no need for an ugly struggle for existence in ALL social strata
Now and then Rhode Island politicians get something right : " Free lunch for all public school students in Rhode Island ". In a wealthy country there is no need for an ugly struggle for existence in ALL social strata.
There would be a lot less mental illness in capitalist USA if life were more COMMUNAL . Even housing architecture can be revolutionized so that individual families need not live in isolated bubbles responsible only for themselves : MY kids , MY wife , MY husband , my PROPERTY , MY career .
What is rarely mentioned about NATIVE Americans, before the much maligned Christopher Columbus discovered them, is that they had little sense of PRIVATE PROPERTY . The GOOD EARTH belonged to the GREAT SPIRIT . But THEY were backward , were they not ?
The schools must also recognize the need for a scientifically balanced diet for growing youth . And for healthy homes . Too much lead in drinking water will show up in those elementary school IQ tests . If you are poor in capitalist USA what else do you have but your BRAIN as a tool for survival ?
