Succession

At a time when the world population has reached 7 billion in conjunction with increasingly catastrophic climate change, we can all relax because the succession to the British throne is no longer sexist. Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy? 

What about the succession of the children being born all over the planet. What throne or glory will they be inheriting from struggling parents? Or will they inherit a greater burden than their parents carried? 

From my humanist view, human equality means just that: Equality. Those who do not support the rights of all human beings to equal economic justice are not humanists, in my opinion. Those who support a monarchy are not humanists. Those who support an oligarchy, based in individualistic capitalism, are not humanists. The reason is simple. These institutions stand in the way of human equality intentionally.
