First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest.
Two tier justice indeed.

If unearned income, from shares and dividends, is taxed at a lower rate than earned income, from wages, it bakes in inequality and ensures the rich get ever richer. #politics

Capitalism will always decay into a corporate autocracy -
Under capitalism money(capital) and power are interchangeable, power gets you money money gets you power and we all get stiffed.
Capitalists will always side with fascists because above all they do not threaten capital.

"What radicalized you?"
I was told 'sharing is caring' as a child. If sharing crayons was expected in kindergarten, why not wealth, resources, and opportunities in society? Turns out I wasn’t radicalized—I just never stopped believing in fairness and basic human decency.

This is primarily why I'm not a capitalist because money and power are interchangeable under that economic model and therefore it can never be democratic, add to that intergenerational wealth and it's a surprise anyone even pretends we have any say in any of this.
Thread on how I see the US political system.
1. Money wins campaigns. From 2000 to 2016 the side that has the money usually gets the office. Politicians and political parties know this, so this is their constituency, not the voters.

If you told me Paul Mason had a brain transplant it would make more sense.
For example Peter Hitchens was a Communist with Marxist analysis until he found religion, still great analysis.. nonsense conclusions.
I bought Mason's books, the guy has fallen for no explicable reason.

To survive the right wing surge we need "tough liberalism" rooted in working class experience ... Starmer is one of the few global centre left politicians who gets it

Starmer gets it: this is the age of tough liberalism
Most Labour supporters don’t realise how muscular their own tradition will have to become to survive what’s coming

If you want the true measure of a liberal or a libertarian, ask them how they feel about open borders.
Often their freedom comes with caveats and lines around race although in truth class it's why both these groups break right when the going gets...just gets really.

America spends 4x as much on Healthcare per person as any other country.
Yet has the worst healthcare in the developed world.
And this is the BS they wheel out to defend it.
