Myopic?? Are you suggesting we rewrite the constitution??  What we need is an
immunization of the lifeworld from the economic system which continues to be
maintained through the improved political and ethical competencies of each
citizen.

Why can't you define socialism? because the current forms of capitalism have
already realized it?
