Gaza 2025. What is to be done?

With thuggish/fascistic regimes in power around the world in 2025 calls for resistance and prevention grow, but solutions are not obvious. Democracies have historically sometimes elected autocrats Ike Hitler and Trump, so democracy alone is not enough. In addition to democracy banning value  negligent  criminals from office is a basic requirement. This would disqualify Trump and  Netanyahu. Another key is wealth control, since impact requires ownership.This would prevent the influence of unaccountable capitalists like Elon Musk. Excluding illegality and vast inequality do not guarantee civilized society  but they are requirements of it. Together they contribute to humane society, while social economies optimize their durability. Here, then, are tools of prevention rather than after the fact resistance, though it too is necessary whenever damage has been done, and wounded victims  made revengeful. .

On "responsible" business and the 2025 Responsible Investment Association in Toronto

                          
When profit needs meet ethical goals is there room for convergence?  'Ethical' businesses believe so and the proof must be in their ability to survive and thrive if social enhancement tracks initiative, whatever the unavoidable dilemma. As an aspirational endeavour ethical enterprise is not a field for perfectionism, and improvement requires the enabling condition, that the perfect should not be the enemy of the good.
