An Enormous Corporate Colonization Project Is Underway -- And the US Economy Will Never Be the Same

40. Thanks for pointing to the Sister's of Mercy

You are right about the the numbers game stacked against us. But your point is "our" money(what little we have) is tied up in our sustenance. So if we do pool our aggregate demand and our resources to better help sustain one another-with food, clothing, shelter-and create an alternative economy that is increasingly independent from this "Plutonomy", then that's a huge start even if monetarily its a drop in the bucket.

At least we have each other to depend on. At least we can provide a healthy example of a sane social contract however small at first.

At least we can demonstrate in this absolutely dark and acid time that it is alright to love and care for one another and this earth.

Maybe those oldest among us can wake these millennials up, or continue their awakening- because believe you me - THEY AINT DOING A DAMN THING BETTER THAN THIS! And that's not me disparaging them AT ALL. They are victims, hugely, and to be sure. But for their own sake-and for ours- we need to get them on their feet and wake them to the notion that NOW IS THEIR MOMENT. As much as that offends the sensibilities of youth.

We need to OPT OUT of the 1%'s grand vision and let it die on the vine. That includes this impeach their ginning up. That includes the Prison-industrial state that's advancing under the guise of immigration reform. This new war they want to start.

We need to get our heads together and start to sensibly and strategically take it to these baggers to our left and right; not their figureheads, but these people in our daily lives. While they threaten violence and wave their guns, we counter with non-violent action, community organizing, voluntary and participatory economics. We take care of one another and we build a world we want to see and leave their 60 million and declining bigoted behinds to histories dust-bin.

Our enemies are bullies. Plain and simple. Always-ALWAYS-have been and will be in this country. But even with the vast resources of the 1%, I promise you they are surmountable.
