General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Magnificent rant from David Rothkopf says it all. [View all]Moral Compass
(1,520 posts)I think we are nearing a point where we must call for a general strike. Corporations are where we make the money that feeds and houses us.
So many of us, myself included, have to keep going to work and keep living. As if this is somehow normal and there will come a time when this will all go away. The corporations, large and small, are inherently amoral. As long as sales and profits keep rolling in they will also keep on as if normalcy will return.
But it wont. The Republicans have realized that all that is required to remain in power is to refuse to participate in our Republic. They violate the rules while the judiciary changes the rules. Bribery has been made legal.Gerrymandering is now not even addressable in the legal system.
This is how all democracies have died.
So, we, as a people have to break the only system that matters to those holding the power. The only thing that will get their attention is to threaten the wealth that they hold dear. Boycotts and general strikes.
