Yes, I agree—the capitalist system we are just emerging from has been harsh, often lacking in common humanity. We can see its shadow in things like runaway homelessness, which is now almost normalised in countries like the U.S. It’s heartbreaking that such suffering is tolerated, while real solutions are rarely even attempted.

When I look at China, the contrast is striking. From what I see—even if only through the lens of YouTube—there appears to be no homelessness, and people seem generally more content. Whatever one thinks of systems and governments, that simple fact stands out: people should not be left on the street without hope.

I’m all for changing the order of things when the old systems are no longer serving us. If a way of organising society doesn’t work, if it creates despair instead of dignity, then it must be questioned and reshaped.

We’re living in a time where the cracks in the old structures are clear, and maybe that’s the invitation—to imagine, and build, something more humane, something rooted in genuine care.
