On How to eradicate the power elite…
3: 2 From the end of WWII until the late 1970s, the middle class thrived. Families could live on a single income. 3: 3 People could buy a car and house without going into generational debt. Labor unions were strong and protected workers from exploitation. 3: 4 Then In 1980, the power elite decided to declare class warfare on the rest of the country.
3: 5 Ronald Reagan, a shameless mouthpiece for the power elite, attacked welfare and propagated the lie of trickle-down economics.
3: 6 For the last 40 years, middle-class economic growth has flatlined. While consistently cutting taxes for the rich and providing subsidies to powerful corporations. 3: 7 The government has also cut and denied funding for public education, public health, and care for seniors and children. 3: 8 The government bought and corrupted by the power elite has proven not to care about governing ordinary citizens.
3: 9 The lower classes are thought of as nothing more than soldiers, laborers, and consumers. 3: 10 Blue-collar Americans are drafted to protect the power elite and their accumulated wealth. 3: 11 There is no conventional way for the population to stop exploitation by the ruling class. They own the politicians, courts, police, and the military.
3: 12 THERE ARE ONLY TWO WAYS
to rid society of the power elite; one is through an extinction-level event like a meteor, asteroid, or nuclear war. 3: 13 The second is to let the right-wing fascists and theocrats take power. Through greed and incompetence, they will burn the country to the ground. 3: 14 Corporations and the power elite will turn the government into a totalitarian hybrid, theo-plutocracy. When the infrastructure is destroyed accelerated by climate change, and the masses are desperate, there may be a sudden motivation to look soberly at who the true enemies are.
3: 15 There will be a unified and violent response once there is only one party to blame, once they can’t play three-card monte with governance and legislation. 3: 16 If it is all destroyed, the masters will be destroyed with it.
3: 17 “But not only has the bourgeoisie forged the weapons that bring death to itself; it has also called into existence the men who are to wield those weapons…”
