      The working class has been crushed by neoliberalism for 50+ years and there’s still no justice in site. The oligarchs that control “democracy” know there’s a high chance they’ll remain insulated from all the suffering they cause. They are so confident in this their goal now is to remove the illusion of democracy.

        All they had to do was construct a society where the working class is exposed exclusively to neoliberal propaganda from birth until death. Several generations onwards, and here we are. Class consciousness is essentially none amongst large swaths of the working class population.

      Nice phrase but that doesn’t seem to be how things have worked for a while now

          For that, we need mass organization, which is extremely difficult both logisticly (due to the size of the US and how spread out the polulation is) and politicly (decades of neoliberal and red scare propoganda).

            Do you understand that with a response like this the only thing you are accomplishing is making someone with the right idea and passion… less passionate about the thing?

                If only we had some way to communicate easily over long distances, maybe a network that allows for computers to interact like some kind of “Internet”.

                  Yes what a shame, that kind of technology would be perfect so long as it wasn’t full of condescending cynical people who constantly shutdown any positive momentum for change that required vision.

                  Maybe we could have a network of quadcopter drones that delivered notes between people?
