The only way to progress is to dismantle the status quo. Look to the 1960's wins on civil & women's rights for guidance on how to do political action. Organize.

We have no influence over policy. It's corrosive of social relations. This is what they want. Our hard earned money is stolen by the government via taxes to support policies that do nothing for anyone other than the wealthy. Our fight is to preserve & progress our humanity to one another.

Money is deemed to be freedom of speech, therefore, corporations are free to spend as much as they want & wherever they want. Unionization is a barrier to corporate tyranny. Demonstrate, organize, protest, strike. We don't need bosses. We don't need government controlling our lives.

In the 70's and 80's the taxpayers bailed out big business. In 2026, the taxpayers are still building more wealth for the uber wealthy. This is what happens when power is in the hands of those whose only objective is to build more wealth for themselves. This is who is still in power today.

The strategies: 1. Keep workers insecure 2. Threaten democratic elections 3. Defund/eliminate democratic institutions 4. Demand obedience/loyalty from all sectors of government & society 5. Establish a pro-leader paramilitary 6. Drive sympathy/caring for others out of people's heads 7. Deny truth

The efforts towards the democratization of the United States has been the plan since the 1970's. Now "they" have the monied oligarchs to buy up the government & elections. The oppression of Minnesotans is deliberate & by design. 'Be wary of paramilitaries', Snyder "On Tyranny".

No one should be surprised by the state of our union such as it is today. This is what you get when you elect a convicted criminal, adjudicated rapist, & con artist, who is deeply emotionally disturbed. His handpicked henchmen are equally as unqualified, incompetent & deeply disturbed people.
