depends on what you define as success.

Success is being happy. Are you eating well sleeping well is matters most not the fuking money.

Eating and sleeping well requires money. Neeku nee family members ki Rogam vasthe you can't eat or sleep well till they get treated which requires money. We need money as backup during hard times. Kaakapothe konchem pakkanollaki kooda pedithe samtrupthi

wow. calm down. if you are in Canada, you don't need money to get treated. only in 3rd rate countries like US and India do you need money for treatments.

Ursula Le Guin, writer extraordinaire of fantasy fiction has this to say.

We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable - but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.

All that is required is intent. Not scaremongering about the need for money to survive.

btw, Ursula Le Guin recently passed away. moment of silence for her.

It’s also a sorrow, though, to have lost one of the most brilliant anarchists the world has ever known. Especially now, as we start into the hard times she said were coming.

To be clear, Ursula Le Guin didn’t, as I understand it, call herself an anarchist. I asked her about this. She told me that she didn’t call herself an anarchist because she didn’t feel that she deserved to—she didn’t do enough. I asked her if it was OK for us to call her one. She said she’d be honored.

Ursula, I promise you, the honor is ours.

[uttermost]

She wasn't an anarchist. But she made me want to be one.

She was just a brilliant fiction writer with leftist leanings.

I will bring down a 1000 corporations, or escape to Europa. One of this shall happen before I turn 40.

Other amazing Ursula Le Guin quotes

Change is freedom, change is life. It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed. There's a point, around age twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities. Those who build walls are their own prisoners. I'm going to go fulfil my proper function in the social organism. I'm going to go unbuild walls.

This one from her most political work 'The Dispossessed'. read it and be blown by her description of a fictional working anarchist society.

Other gems from Ursula for silly capitalist chamchas

Capitalism’s grow-or-die imperative stands radically at odds with ecology’s imperative of interdependence and limit. The two imperatives can no longer coexist with each other; nor can any society founded on the myth that they can be reconciled hope to survive. Either we will establish an ecological society or society will go under for everyone, irrespective of his or her status.

In other words, how much ever power you corner, how much ever money you make, nature (including human nature) has its way of getting back at you if its balance is disturbed.

Some more

You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose... That selfhood which is our torment, and our treasure, and our humanity, does not endure. It changes; it is gone, a wave on the sea. Would you have the sea grow still and the tides cease, to save one wave, to save yourself?

What a brilliant quote this one is.

Ursula on anarchism, by calling it Odonianism (after one of her heroes in her book)

Odonianism is anarchism. Not the bomb-in-the-pocket stuff, which is terrorism, whatever name it tries to dignify itself with, not the social-Darwinist economic 'libertarianism' of the far right; but anarchism, as prefigured in early Taoist thought, and expounded by Shelley and Kropotkin, Goldman and Goodman. Anarchism's principal target is the authoritarian State (capitalist or socialist); its principle moral-practical theme is cooperation (solidarity, mutual aid). It is the most idealistic, and to me the most interesting, of all political theories.

Ursula on why its cool to be a Feminist

Besides, when you say you're a feminist it annoys the bigots and the old farts and the prissy ladies so much, it's kind of irresistible.

pretty much spot on.
