We have become a people who are under complete and total control of giant corporations who exploit our labor, plunder our wealth, bribe our politicians, and destroy our planet all under the guise of “freedom.” This is what capitalism has done to humanity. We are not free at all.
We have a government that refuses to provide healthcare to all of its people, but instead provides a $10 billion bailout to the space firm of the richest man in the world. This is what happens when corporations and billionaires buy off both parties to rig the laws in their favor.
Personally I think Democrats completely abandoning the entire agenda they promised the American people during one of the worst crises in a century might be a bad political strategy.
Many people will turn George Floyd into a martyr today. We must fight to remember that he did not *give* his life for justice, for our movement, for an uprising. He wanted to live. He fought to live.
