This was a very good read. I am considering becoming a paid subscriber.

Might I suggest we take baby steps towards a better tomorrow? Within the current system, we can harp on the fact that the politicians are bought and create social pressure that forces them to act, begin purging corporatists in both parties.

There are perfectly legal ways to target dishonest multimillion dollar corps and create a movement the mass media will be forced to report on. Gathering people for a letter writing campaign as I put forward in my Patriots Against Corporatism materials is one such method. Think of how impactful that letter scene is in Harry Potter. Do that to a few key mass media / media-oriented targets and the system wouldn’t know what to do about it.

While I do not see a clear path to an end to capitalism, I do see a possibility of using the nationalistic zeal of the right wing and the egalitarian bend of the left wing to come together in a movement that… again… “patriotically” purges corporatists. When enemies attack, they become unAmerican.

We must take steps to help people realize, or we will wait a lifetime having accomplished nothing.
