Breaking Out of Capitalist Society Is Necessary

Because of the deep commitment of all capitalist institutions to profit as the overriding ideological force, and because of the persistence of the profit motivation as the overriding ingredient in the distress patterns of the leaders of this society, no safeguards are left within the structure of the capitalist society to preserve the environment, human life, human culture, and all the rest. Breaking out of capitalist society is necessary, not only for the improvement of human living and thinking but also for human survival.
