This view is in fact wrong: capitalism, whatever it got right, has suddenly gotten planetary survival wrong: it is proving fatal to the whole planetary system. Improve it? How so, short of revolution?
In fact, our DMNC, ‘democratic market neo-communism’ shows just what is possible here: Continue reading ” Improve capitalism, now a fatal dose? our DMNC does just that”
Our model of DMNC neo-communism must of course embrace an extremely radical ecological economics. The gas automobile, needles to say, must disappear…

The ‘new deal’ aspect is really a ‘social democratic’ signature and a ‘revolutionary Green’ movement might step in to recompute socialism as a green movement.
Our DMNC should expand to a ecological ‘green democratic market neo-communsim’: GDMNC
