The class struggle must be resumed.
We, the people, are being raped. Political thinktanks and ideological manipulation have warped our language, and our very concept of ourselves. We are no longer Bob McCormick, Hank Smith, or Sherry Norris. We are just "consumers." Other ages have had different names for us. The masses. Labor. The slaves. And, thanks to the insights of such people as Vico, Marx, etc we realized we were in a struggle for our very identity. We realized that their were people out there, the people with the most power and money, who were seeking to use us as abstract tools. Nothing has changed. We have been fooled for too long.

I am not promoting communism or anarchy. But...

We must identify ourselves, our institutions, our ideologies. We must take back our language. We must take back our ideologies. We must take back our God. If we take these back, we will again find ourselves. Those in power are not going to do it for us. Wake up!

1. I would say "OUR side needs to recognize that it never stopped".
The privledged FEW will be very happy to drag us back
to the days of robber barons and indentured servitude,
legal eonomics-based SLAVERY, if we let them,

And they are working this country closer to that reality
every day. They never stopped; they just chose to fight
in a different direction. And they've made serious gains.

The only GOOD news is that "our side" in this is about
90% of EVERYONE. We have the numbers.

2. Glad to see more waking up... of course we are tools, slaves
to debt... so we work... leave our children behind to be raised by govt standards... and pretend we are happy if we get a week away from work to vacation at Disney where our money is used on overpriced plastic trinkets and t-shirts from taiwan.
