Looking around me:

  • I started seeing people who support capitalist companies instead of non-profits.
  • People losing their freedoms everywhere at high pace.
  • No one is taking any serious steps to stop climate change.
  • A lot of non-profits had seriously down scaled their operations in the last 5 years, most probably more non-profits will get hit hard this year.
  • On a relative scale, no one is fighting to change any of this.

Do we have any hope?

    You phrase this as if non-profits are an alternative to capitalist companies. Do you know of many non-profits that sell things? We belong to our local coop and shop there, but the groceries themselves are all made by for-profit companies. IME, non-profits are primarily service or charity oriented.

    Is love to hear about a non-profit alternative to Amazon, or a non-profit cell phone maker.
