What is to be done? | Enzo Schlatter | TEDxYouth@FAIHS


Chopin’s career believes that within
their lifetime
the current beautiful system the United
States will remain intact like President
Congress except they’re traitors
okay so yeah it’s a pretty widespread
phenomenon and the little scientists
press to Rihanna’s practice as the end
of history
at the turn of the 21st century after
the collapse of the Soviet Union
I guess we sort of decided as democratic
capitalism are we built on the
inevitable human model have triumphed
over everyone else and as this line of
thinking that dominates our politics so
today we live in a new age and we’re
told that everything is possible there’s
travel to Mars there’s new advancements
that artificial intelligence attacks
there’s talks led by biogenetics as
students we’re told we can do anything
we study hard enough we can achieve our
dreams however where is this rhetoric go
when discussing politics why is suddenly
everything become impossible this
increased taxes impossible that would
make us uncompetitive increase wages and
this is like thinking first hand the
reason for this sort of thinking is
because in our time just as a Catholic
Church there’s an unquestionable entity
pest capitalism has become
unquestionable I mean we’re in the
development world do we really see
genuine challenges to what we would call
the system this is Bernie Sanders
proposes for increasing tax really
challenged local capital and he really
expect to survive the threat of global
warming
our biggest response to Trump’s
environmental policy is well we never
2020 this line of thinking was
demonstrated firsthand at IHS two years
ago an assembly on climate change
climate change activists come to our
school and discuss their opinions on
topic the first person wins
filmography he worked in China it with
farmland restoration and he discussed
the incompatibility of a market system
with a sustainable environment and
unsurprising enough he received applause
some didn’t see lots of us was a man who
helped joke we discussed individual
responsibility in the approach to
climate Joe claimed that we as
individuals to help
climate change by she
paddocks as interesting to see the stark
differences in their second man’s to
renew an optimistic idea each of us you
know recycle we can say the planet
hubbard and bigger thing is that she
while criticized the current system did
not offer an alternative and of course
it’s hard for us to imagine living in a
system other than one girl and that
buster why was it easier for me and i
assume most of us to to imagine end of
the world the environment attached to
make an asteroids right and it was to
imagine living in
post-capitalist this just
so our planet about seven billion people
what if I told you a hundred percent of
production that means that we have
year nine point 1 million people die of
starvation and how can we allow 10
again there’s untouchable
and this entity supermarket chains in
the United States operate 13 billion
pounds an example of how we approach
local Honda is again school digest me
optimal food drives which was
commendable the responsibility on
individual to food and why do we that
was probably on the average working
person as opposed to these supermarket
chains which like I said 13 every year
this is because the untouchable entity
the market supermarkets don’t throw a
throw away food price of course their
challenge the profits
as a result we tend to go around the
main problem and we create opportunities
for our own individual options so box is
another example of this the coffee is
super expensive and its attributes this
extra price to its usage a Fairtrade
coffee and its efforts towards donating
over two chains around world with this
Starbucks has done something remarkable
visiting humidity how tourism in the
price commodity now to each for each of
us to get our own self-satisfaction to
and so outside of the realm of economics
we should look at our approach to
politics in hearing liberal San
Francisco is way too easy to criticize
Trump we should instead look ourselves
and criticize ourselves
Trump and the rise in global far-right
are not a disease however they’re the
symptoms that were disease which is
growing and community for years people
are becoming distinguish shoot with
years political stagnation economic
crisis and our mental disaster except we
have an alternative people are left to
plant reaction skateboarding I mean for
today’s champions of the world walk is
it
Evon must prevent Tesla SpaceX workers
from unionizing is a Tim Cook from Apple
the phones they purchase the hardware
comes from factories which installed
nests and the factories depends of
workers from jumping off the killing
starts that’s how the conditions of a
marvel in Germany’s well for the
legalization of gay marriage against it
saying America Manuel who spends much of
his time I surprises resident right
translating news or perhaps Barack Obama
has deported 2.5 million people and his
drum program in the Middle East
continually kills hundreds of innocent
civilians maybe it’s just the Trudeau
whose fantasy sauce should not distract
from the fact despite claiming to be a
feminist
he continuously thought about the deals
with Saudi Arabia during the civil war
with Yemen which is currently going on
and using these weapons to convince
civilians our politics seems to be full
of contradictions with no light at the
end of the tunnel I do not claim to have
an alternative and more likely to be
free from these ideological chance that
I’ve described
however I insist let’s start thinking oh
and perhaps before it’s too late we can
finally answer the questions asked by
revolutionaries 100 years ago what is
the [Applause]
