"The Paradise Project"
The resistance to the madness of #45 , and the culture of murder by American polices forces might be a beginning. Mind you we've seen fits, and starts to primal changes many times before. This is different in that people of all colors are in it. That, and a majority of the country is behind it in some fashions. A world where all is shared kindness, and introspection is a given.
Well basically you don't get murdered for being Black or poor. ...a good start
In the West we've been trying to bring such a world about for some centuries now.
At least since the Peasant Revolts of the middle ages.

That great experiment of the Enlightenment the founding of the United States of America is a contradictory hopeful yet inconsistent ongoing try. The further attempted revolutions of the 19th, and 20th centuries...sadly just made things worse.
We should remember the 17th century Diggers of Britain. Google them folks. These the Great Grand Parents of assorted Utopian Dreamers. Land reformers Ecologists early Civil, Gender and Sexual Rights movements.

Them Diggers like the historically recent Beatniks Civil Rights folks Hippies, and the renewed movement for the Humanity of Women all wanted, and want the goods produced to be held in common...the land too. Basically all should be happy, and free.
"The Pursuit of Happiness". Perhaps the most revolutionary part of the American experiment. This was the first time it was written down, and put into an official document. It was planted like an overlooked seed,...waiting.
Those 14th century Peasants trying to take their land back from the Lords would have recognized this at once.

No one should live in want. The whole messy lot of us will share, and help all around us, and basically have a good time. "Have a Good Time" "...Pursuit of Happiness for all. Not just those in an "ownership" tax bracket.
Paradise is hard. Hard to dream, and Hard to make...not impossible, just Hard.
Making the Atomic bomb was hard too. However with total dedication, and the use of vast resources they made the damned thing...and plenty of them. The maniacs have been refining it ever since.
Imagine...
Imagine if that sort of dedication vast resources were put towards the "Paradise Project".
Unlike the Manhattan Project nothing would be secret it would all be out in the open for all to see, and if they wanted to help with. The "Paradise Project".

A plan for mass joy as opposed to mass death.
That's what we all want.That's what folks have been working towards all these centuries.
That's what we have to keep at no matter what. ..."The Pursuit of Happiness."
