Joe, it was great to read your article. Thank you for sharing. I’m in the process of writing a similar article to yours explaining how we arrived where we are. It was a wonderful to see you identify the same causes at the root of our situation that I have also arrived at, and have been writing about independently.

Specifically these are:

The enclosure of the commons, colonialism, capitalism, and neo-liberalism.

It is quite clear that these ideologies have resulted in our current predicament. It is important now for this information to be widely distributed to encourage popular understanding of these concepts.

I will be following you with interest, and I hope you will be encouraged to meet another messenger joining the ranks.
