A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
I firmly believe that the protagonism of everyone, including rich folks, actually matters — it’s not only about getting in line behind working-class movements, though that is vital. __It’s about each of us actually bringing our own influence, agency, power, and resources to the table.__ This full-bodied protagonism is what rich folks need to move from guilt- and shame-driven redistribution to a lasting role in systems change. US capitalism, in my humble opinion, will not change without strategic action from the wealthy and those with access to wealth.
