Politics is *very* straighforward:
it's people & planet versus capitalism.
And the alternative that's good for all is already to hand: the plan for Co-operative Socialism!
If it's helpful, when I encounter a person of voting age who says' I don't know the firzt thing about politics', I reply:
'Well it's very straightforward: if you wish to vote for selfishness, thrn vote Conservative, Liberal or Nationalist. But if you want to vote for socialness, your options are to vote Labour (NDP) or Green or, if you have the chance, Labour and Co-operative (CCF).
Now if you vote Green, or choose to not vote, then you give, effectively, a free pass to those who vote for selfishness.
In the case of the Greens, I support, wholhearedly, any pro-eco policy but if you vote Green, rather than Labour, then you divide the pro-social, pro-eco vote and, so selfishness gets that free pass.'
I hope that helps.
Ps, all this is based on the Four Component Needs theory that is in the papers'section at www.interestfreemoney.org
Which shows, I hope, that the human condition is a struggle between our socialness and our fear-driven selfishness.
Maslow's hierarchy, is not helpful in my view.
