For the past few months, we’ve been witnessing an inspiring, genuinely grass-roots rebellion of average Americans against corporate/financial profiteers savaging our collective well-being for their narrow, private gain.

It’s most powerful manifestation came in Wisconsin, where tens of thousands demonstrated outrage over atrociously arrogant, callously cruel Republican efforts to eviscerate organized labor.

As welcome as this explosion of populist protest has surely been, its amorphous spontaneity and incomplete cohesion evince a weakness that needs correction.

Much greater unity is required, stronger links between separate communities and regions are necessary, and a national people-before-profits agenda has to be drawn up, disseminated, and implemented.
