Doesn’t that represent the common theme of these speeches? If we also look at it, the world can’t live the way we have in North America. We consume way too much in proportion, and we over contribute to climate change. Yet we also have created free and open societies relatively so there’s a strong positive. However, the gap between those who have and those who have not is getting bigger, creating tension.

So in a sense I think a lot of people on both sides of the political spectrum sees a need for change moving forward, the question is what does it look like? Our political/economic structure is maybe like 100 years old, probably less, maybe even post world war 2 when this phase started. It’s not like it’s existed for thousands of years and will never change. I don’t think she was for even a moment suggestion democracy and capitalism will go away….but she certainly was questioning what it might look like moving forward.

Here is the whole thing:
