As we see the self-proclaimed capitalist regime&rsquo;s incapacity to address growing economic desperation and accelerating social breakdown and environmental collapse, socialism, for all its own evident faults, becomes the only option.</wp-json/wp/v2/article/10723//p>/wp-json/wp/v2/article/10723/n<p>I grew up in a prosperous small town in Washington state. Our main street was populated by thriving, mostly local, businesses. My dad owned and managed a successful retail music and appliance store located in the heart of the business district in the heart of a vibrant community.
