wherever they are. All free democracy's working together and demanding cooperation from the rest of the countries.
Go after all types of big money fraud, tax evasion, money laundering and any other forms or corruption. Use military force to take them or kill them if need be. Apply severe sanctions to corrupt countries that hide them and their ill gotten gains.
Put a complete halt to people like Trump, corrupt oligarchs and rulers around the world that are looting everyone. I'd love to see the reaction to anyone serious that promised that.

By advocating lawless vigilantism and killing, you would take us still farther down the road toward anarky and away from the democratic ideals of equality and justice. We must not become that which we abhor in the opposition just to force about a quick change, the real goals must be protected.

It was the first successful election for the far right in Spain since the country returned to democracy in the 1970s after the death of fascist military dictator Francisco Franco. We speak with economist and former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, who is launching a movement with Senator Bernie Sanders and others to fight right-wing forces around the globe.
