I'm sick of people saying it's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of #capitalism. I think about the end of capitalism every day. Today I imagined what it would be like to live in a community that valued me for being present rather than "useful" or "productive." In that world, I think I would spend a lot more time taking care of plants. I would tell stories when I felt like it, instead of on deadline. What do you imagine? #ImagineTheEndOfCapitalism

I would be writing videogames and accessible software.

And I don't know if I'm missing your point, but I still agree with Le Guin: our current society suffers of a limit of the imagination, there is where we need to push the culture, we who have imagined it, must help everybody else to imagine.

@xarvh @annaleen Something I do find broadening my entertainment horizons: Works not funded by capitalists are significantly more likely to explicitly say "capitalism is wrong" as opposed to depicting it as an issue with particular cartoony individuals.

I hear Illumination's The Lorax & its preproduction is a good illustration of this!

But I still see, with a few exceptions, that there's a lack of imagination for alternatives...
