We've had several threads about new economic thinking and how broken capitalism is. This encapsulates many of them.
Here is an interesting article on a variant of socialism (not Socialism) - the commons.

Quote
...we documented dozens of notable commons, suggesting that the actual scope and impact of commoning in today’s world is quite large. Our capacity to self-organize to address needs, independent of the state or market, can be seen in community forests, cooperatively run farms and fisheries, open source design and manufacturing communities with global reach, local and regional currencies, and myriad other examples in all realms of life. The elemental human impulse that we are born with — to help others, to improve existing practices — ripens into a stable social form with countless variations: a commons.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
