We live under Capitalism, which is planetary domination by the ruling Bourgeois class through economic means, that is the incessant privatization of society's surplus, which is created by the working class.
We need to liberate humanity and establish economic democracy!

When autocracy takes hold in a country, everything goes on as before—police go on policing, landlords go on collecting rent, people go on showing up to work.
The transition takes place so smoothly because all the elements necessary to fascism were present under democracy.

I'm a union representative and trainee in giving a talk regarding a socially just fiscal system.
One time, I forgot the example to make visual the proportionality of a million and a billion.
Mr. Polanski provided me with a nice backup!

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.
