Commerce

Isn't it interesting that the religious movement which invented socialism is now the tool of rabid capitalists in America? Commerce once entailed the trading of goods and skills between equals. It was a truly democratic, perhaps even anarchic, occupation which supported whole civilizations throughout human history. Capitalism kills commerce in this egalitarian form. It pushes corporations to monopoly and the control of goods and prices, determined by greed, not supply and demand. My practice does not exclude commerce. Treating people fairly in transactions involving goods and money is part of practice. Trade as communication, dialogue and human cooperation facilitates human evolution and the common wealth.
