[thread] When an economy is orientated towards private profit & towards decisions based on maximising that profit, our humanity is often lost. There can be an immense personal & collective turbulence to just living within this economic system. (1/6) 
Our humanity is fundamentally based on loving & caring for one another. If you think about our daily lives: at its best, it is laughing with each other; sharing food; enjoying music together; exploring each other’s communities, being in each other’s company. (2/6)
Neither do we choose to make war, invade countries or bomb each other. Given the opportunity to look straight into the eyes of those we’re told to hate, to go to war with, we would see ourselves. The logical consequence of that connection would be to demand a different way. (3/6)
Both peace of mind & peace in the world are inextricably linked to the way the wealthiest & most powerful on this planet cling on to a system which always serves them & not us. So, our peace, both for ourselves & the world, must come another way. (4/6)
Socialism is peace. It is an end to war, an end to the stirring up of division, of competition for resources, and of stoking the flames of hatred between fellow working people, who just happen to be born across borders. (5/6)
Socialism aims for an end to the anguish & pain brought with exploitation, war & poverty. War is profitable for a tiny elite, but for the rest of us, bombs, walls & borders don’t keep us at peace. There is another way. (6/6)
