It's time to compost capitalism - a thread
It is a myth that through unfettered growth, capitalism will eventually meet the needs of all the world’s people. It’s the opposite - as capitalism continues to expand, more and more people are suffering hunger and poverty, including here in the UK. (1/7)

This is our call to action. Let us come together to create a society that values cooperation over competition, sustainability over exploitation, and the common good over profit. Let us build a future that we can all be proud of. (6/6)

We are not deep down “consumers” and “customers”. These worthless, fabricated identities have been forced on us. We are natural beings living together with other species on a small planet. We can feed the world and protect nature too. (7/8)

We mainly relate to nature not as individuals but collectively, through our human society, that is to say the mode of producing and reproducing life we have constructed for ourselves. Relating to it through the structures of capitalism is making us poor and sick. (6/8)
Just booked a bus from Porto to Lisbon for cheaper than it costs to get me from Ibrox to Shawlands. We need #BetterBusesForStrathclyde now! @BetterBusesSPT

All evidence pointing toward the uncomfortable idea that democracy in the UK is broken, we believe that local campaigners share common, and underheard democratic claims and potential, and that they perform critical duties in shaping the future of democracy in their cities.
Beyond proud to have been involved in amplifying campaigner voices in Glasgow - this work should resonate with changemakers in all cities!
