"1. Capitalism is based on the assumption that you can win. "2.
  Socialism is based on the assumption that you can break even.
  "3. Anarchism is based on the assumption that you can quit the
  game. Indeed. Utopian visions generally lead to frustration
  because they're unlikely to be pragmatic. In part, each of 1, 2
  and 3 can push and pull against each other to form an undulating
  structure that functions but any of the three on their own could
  never make it, I don't think. == True but I think we're still in
  the neophyte stages of the Industrial Revolution. Earth is
  strong - I don't think we could kill it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe
  we can. I'm grateful for the Industrial Revolution for letting
  me be here, behind this computer, doing what I'm doing right
  now. I don't think things were better back then. At the same
  time, our awareness of our free-for-all behavior and the damage
  it causes is dawning on us, and we're making restorative
  measures. We've been doing so for decades and the process
  continues. I wouldn't want to "go back" to how I perceive things
  were. I like today. But I think we can learn from what we've
  forgotten from the past to improve from this point forward. ==
