Solution Not Problem

The problem that we have is that the problem has caused a problem.

And then the problem is deemed to be the solution, which is a problem.

Because the problem is not a solution: it is a problem.

So the solution is to find a solution to fix the problem.

Hence the solution:

   True,  Democratic and  Co-operative Socialism as the solution to the politics, economics (not) and ethos of selfishness (capitalism).

The problem is not solved by social distancing (isolation of the self).

But rather by social attraction for The Common Good:

     - Community provision, Free-at-the-point of use.

Thus, the solution is:

     -  Rent-, Interest- and Profits-to-shareholders- Free economics,

      - All workplaces, therefore, as appropriate Co-operatives, all contributing to The Common Good,

      - Community-provided, Free-at-the-point-of-use provision of as many human needs as possible, facilitated by a not-for-profit, interest-free money, banking and finance system,

      - Retaining money, only in the short-term as a mechanism for discetionary purchases, through the provision of 'Social pocket money', ie a guaranteed Living Income for Everyone, with paid-work income, if wished, up to a socially-determined maximum, as a top-over,

      - A National Co-operative Commonwealth of Co-operative Careship rather than Own-ership, all contributing *to*, not parasitic *upon*, a Global Co-operative Commonweal.

By Tuesday!
