I was just minding my own business, skimming along to see whether something interesting would be said, and then I saw this.

Radical redesign of society, huh. This kind of thing comes up every now and then. Usually it leads nowhere. Sometimes it kills millions.

Millions are being killed now in the name of the profit motive. We are seeking to put an end to this type of outcome.

What? This has to be one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever read, seen or heard. Where are these millions of people? What do you mean by "profit motive"? I know of no definition of profit that would permit the killing of people, and I can't think of any legitimate way to earn money by so doing. So what exactly are you talking about?

Millions die annually due to preventable causes such as malnutrition, curable disease, no access to water and the immediate and lingering effects of unnecessary warfare, among other reasons such as an unsafe transportation system and other infrastructural system problems.

Non sequitur. None of those have any obvious connection to "profit motive."
