Political and Social Polarization
Modern democracies have given people freedom and hope, more of the air to breathe. In the process, groups have taken advantage of the freedoms and increased their concentration of wealth and power, which has led to oligarchies. Those who feel they have been unfairly sidetracked from the prosperity have sought refuge by gathering together in nationalist organizations and populist politics. The coming socialization poses a solution by implementing workplace democracy in which workers have a stake in corporate management and are able to institute a more equitable distribution of income and wealth.

Conclusions
All of the posed problems have previously required some form of government intervention. The convergence of them at one time, and the growing perils from climate change and pandemics strike a new chord in domestic and international relations cooperation before competition, survival of all before survival of the fittest, limited material wealth before unlimited natural catastrophes.

Those who previously exclaimed, "Better Dead than Red" need not transpose to "Better Red than Dead." "Better Pink than Sink," is the new slogan for the Democratic and Socialist communities, pushed to leadership in order to prevent Capitalism's latest offering human extinction.
