Mr Rogers ethics extend to our own neighborhoods through how we welcome others. Rogers believes that we welcome people into the neighborhood as they are, and we like them as they are. We are called to overcome internal biases, to put aside the incidentals that are barriers to liking them. Rogers gives us tools to do so. He believes that discourse, even the offer of it, provides an open ground for individuals to meet and begin the process of welcoming each other.

Can someone recommend a good resource on moving off of corporate banking and to more socially responsible alternatives, like credit unions?

Under Full Communism trade would just look like "Eyyooo we need X and you got X" "Yeah! Here's X!! BTW you got Y and we need Y" "Oh sweet well here's some Y then don't worry I got you"

But that's still trade, y'know?

So then whenever we look at experiments in building utopias or socialisms or anything counterculture or countercapitalism, we must observe it does not, cannot, be in isolation. It must participate in trade unless it's on like, The Promised Land with The Entire Periodic Table

i'm just really impressed by how fucking embarrassing this time period is going to be if our descendants survive to learn about it
