Unite on one principle

While it may be impossible (or at least improbable) to unite on every subject, one principle that we can all agree on is that capitalism is a system of priveledge and power for a few, and labor and strife for many. I don't know that we will be able to come up with a preconceived successor to this system, as until ALL people are enfranchised, then only elitists will be forming the new society. I don't know that that's healthy. I do feel that it is something we can ALL handle together, when ALL are included in the proccess.

So let's unite on one principle: getting beyond capitalism, and when this is accomplished, we'll see a clearer picture and can avoid the power grabs marking previous attempts.

Just my opinion!
