text: Markets are simply the range of available choices. Until new choices are offered, ones with more solidarity, individuals face markets alone. They should not have to, but they have no choice if there are no alternatives offered.  It is not liberty, but capitalism, which seeks to strip people of more just alternatives, though the capitalists are in it only for themselves. Market mechanisms for benenfits are not, provided there is adequate income distribution to replace these programs, however I doubt the capitalists are suggesting that.
  
  Solidarity will fix the problems of internationalism, but only if employee-owned firms go global and work in solidarity with their counterparts in the global supply chain. Sadly, few talk about that. That solidarity also makes technology safe for the planet, allowing for the building of individual habitats to grow food and stop corporate agriculture and the development of fusion power to end global warminng.
