It’s very easy to disempower the huge corporations. Our reliance on technology to make our lives “easier” has reduced our own personal agency. All it takes is for everyone to decide to stop being consumers, and start being producers.
they own our government, politicians, most of the land & resources, and control most of the money supply.
do you think capitalism is an immortal infinite system? it did it's job, and now for the last 40+ years it's eating itself. although this was predicted by marx, you don't need to be a marxist to come to this conclusion.
Capitalism isn’t the problem. The way our politics is funded is the issue.
im not disagreeing but this is a temporary fix. then in 10 years down the road when they figure out how to craft arguments against what you just said, and put in a government that erases all of this progress, what then? do it again and just keep going in some back and forth game?
And 'ugly' in all sorts of ways...
this is a good point, campaign reform should be a major issue in politics
Cronie capitalism and corporate welfare fit neatly into the money driven politics. They are an integral part of this. And predatory capitalism eventually kills itself off. No Marxists necessary.
Exactly. Money should buy you all the material items you ever wanted, but zero political power.
