Hey Felix, Alex, I feel there is one kernel of radicalism that I think 
is currently widespread, perhaps even held by the majority, and that is 
that  healthcare, education, child care and housing are not provisioned 
well by the market system.

In discussing how best to deal with these issues in non-market ways, 
perhaps quite radical ideas can be discussed, and considered by many who 
would not consider themselves radical.


Best,
