In the next few weeks you will hear a lot about the Sustainable
Development Goals — the global elite’s framework for “bringing an end to
poverty by 2030.” They will tell you that things are getting better. Plenty of feel good stories to go around. What you WON’T hear is a
fundamental rethink of the particular kind of market system that was built up
over centuries in the forms of slavery, then colonialism, and now through debt
servitude.
Humanity
deserves (and truly needs) much better than this. We can do better. We must do
better. And, if we ask the right questions and get to the root causes of poverty
and ecological harm, we can do better.
We need to replace the toxic narratives of “trickle down”
and “morality of debt repayment” with authentic, spiritually mature stories
about overcoming the rigged political systems that create widespread harm and
replacing them with inclusive democratic systems that serve life over money.
Onward, fellow humans.
