pome

not really wealth but relative wealth we care about

and not really money but freedom

freedom not as negative liberty (the trick of the financial interest) but power

power not over others
but ourselves.

eliminating the financial interest how?

1. get money out of politics by getting politics out of money?

great rhetorical persuasiveness, but why would that work?

2. eliminate money

reactionary. rather,

3. change how we relate to money

i.e. how we value.

the connection to nietzsche is obvious.
what of law?

not to eliminate it, but change our relationship to it too. from both we are alienated.

we do not take responsibility for our collective violence. our murderous species.

we are alienated from our evil nature. each of us.
