[quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I M O, It’s good to focus on the commonalities —and not the differences when building a coalition.

To answer the above recommendations
to join existing group, I am not part of any conversation that is oriented in opposition.  It limits your thoughts and range of solutions.

Finally, it’s always about money.  Capitalism drives durable change in the US.  Those citizens who don’t have money or easy upward mobility? Those People… they want independence and freedom (of family, religion and thought). That is valuable to them.  One could say it’s a form of wealth. It’s certainly culture.  Just holding the current mainstream social boundaries and rules is enough for now, in my view.

Finally, social changes that “stick” actually broaden the consumer base, make more stuff, and eventually makes everyone richer and happier.  Change should be supported by the market.  I don’t think government alone can support major social shifts.

In anticipation of your historical arguments on how pro capital theory of change is wrong  — that historical line of thinking is not working, in my opinion. The county is huge now. The citizenry is completely different than it was in the 70s-80s and before.   I also belief that the changes ahead will be even greater, and this is a possible resetting of values.  It’s a fight for the heart of America.

It’s going to take uncomfortable compromises.
