The Fabian Society, for whom socialism is essentially the Kingdom of Heaven: you won’t reach it, neither will your grandchildren, nor their grandchildren, but it may happen at some point in the distant future of humanity, so hold onto the idea to make the status quo more bearable. The best we can do is tiny, incremental reforms. It’s Burkean Conservatism in a red rosette.
Catastrophic climate collapse will wipe us all out long before any inkling of a just society can come to fruition.
Still going to vote Green (unless Sultana somehow massively steps up her game), but I’m not foolish enough to believe in shit getting much better before arable land and potable water runs out and all the oxygen producing phytoplankton in the oceans dissolve.
If you want a fun start to your new year, look up some of those things. Most will have long since happened by 2050 by current predictions.
