As much as I don’t want to be a pessimist, I think we’re past the point of solutions that come from within the system. It looks like they just took over, but the reality is the wealthy class of this country has been planning and working towards this moment since the 1930’s.
You get it. The last, last, last, last, last stand to have any rational hope of righting the current constitutional framework using its own mechanisms would have been to soundly rebuke the Reagan/Welch give away the store Revolution as a society half a century ago. Even then the hour was late and unions were being systematically attacked, but getting the former supposed opposition party on the take, today’s neoliberals, was the ballgame, and Citizens United was just a capitalist victory lap pissing on the corpse.
Instead we surrendered the active class war with no terms and began our class occupation with nothing more than the false promise that the right people would become the wealthy fuckers living large on the backs of their exploited neighbors. There are still pathetic fools waiting for that golden shower of Prosperity any day now.
This collapse is brought to you by the people that would have been running away from town to town selling piss snake oil to marks had they been born a couple centuries earlier. Capitalism made them our kings,and they don’t have to run anywhere, everyone else has to get out of their way.
