I like Bunch's goals. The question is whether they can be achieved in the current political landscape, especially with the low likelihood of military spending being dramatically reduced in the near future. Still the threats to Ukraine and Taiwan will not last forever, and maybe, just maybe, the Middle East will cool down in time. There is also the possibility of the young Left Brokes, Left Behinds and Left Outs eventually garnering enough clout to change the tax laws to support both the world's most powerful military and free higher education and vocational training.
One way or another, I hope that the basic visions of Bunch and likeminded can be realities in time.
Meanwhile, in diagnosing the many evils of the current system, he has given us a good laundry list of what not to do in the future.
