The Common Good

We're all in this together - or are we? For most people, the answer is clearly, No.

They know the correct answer is, Yes - and they may give that response. But anyone who watches their actions can easily see what they really believe. Grab what you can, and the devil take the hindmost! 

People came to this conclusion, because they had been oversold on Capitalism and the Market. Instead of creating a Brave New World, they had created a moral Wasteland. And, what is worse, people who are not able to understand what had happened to them.

They can focus, on a narrow slice of time, and a small number of people - and can say, truthfully "Things aren't so bad!" But deep down, they know something is wrong. And they have reacted in ways reminiscent of the Fascist response, of the Thirties.
