Homelessness can end in a new society

Silicon Valley is home to the greatest concentration of wealth and the largest homeless encampment in the country. The city of San Jose recently demolished the encampment and drove the homeless out.
While labor-replacing, computerized technology is creating the greatest abundance the world has ever known, it is creating desperate poverty by eliminating millions of jobs. The problem is that the means of life —the production of food, housing, healthcare, etc.,—are privately owned by a handful of billionaires rather than by society as a whole.
The demands of the homeless and all those fighting for survival point the way forward. These demands are revolutionary because they can only be met by a new economic system organized around providing for all, ‘from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.’ We organize ourselves to build this new society.
