".....democracy requires that people feel a connection to their fellow citizens,
and that this connection manifests itself though a variety of nonmarket organizations and institutions.
A vibrant political culture needs community groups, libraries, public schools, neighborhood organizations, cooperatives, public meeting places, voluntary associations, and trade unions to provide ways for citizens to meet, communicate, and interact with their fellow citizens.
[CAPITALISM.....]
..... with its notion of the market über alles, takes dead aim at this sector.
Instead of citizens, it produces consumers.
nstead of communities, it produces shopping malls.
The net result is an atomized society of disengaged individuals who feel demoralized and socially powerless.”
Noam Chomsky
in
"PROFIT OVER PEOPLE" (1999).
Anything that wants to help you rather than make money out of you - is a threat and a target!
