Thanks so much for these. It is great to be reading something that isn't doom-and-gloom about the failings of the current social infrastructure. A recognition that “Capitalism”, “Possessive Individualism” and “Liberalism” weren't ideal is in my mind critical.
Whenever I hear conversations about "redistribution of wealth", I get concerned that the definition of "wealth" won't be adequately changed. What I saw as Marx's minor critiques of capitalism didn't go far enough into questioning the Anthropocentric, Androcentric, and other supremacist ideologies that were baked into these Westercentric and Eurocentric economic theories.
I wrote about this in the context of "eco-socialism" in the past.
Agreed! I also felt Marx was way too techno deterministic. I'm not sure he'd be able to wrap his head around free and open source for example. I'll definitely be writing more about ecology as the weather warms. 😎

It is great to be intereacting with someone who doesn't believe in the socio-economic binary of Smith vs Marx.
There is so much more out there to think about!
Yes. That’s horrible.
