121. Civil rights follow economic justice

There is no country on earth without economic justice, that has strong civil rights. Zero. Not a single one, and the USA is no different. You cannot decouple them. They are not diametrically opposed.

He correctly realizes that whomever controls the economy in the country, controls the levers of power. As long as the oligarchy controls the economy, the country will go backwards socially. It is about who controls the power. The oligarchy, or us. Money = power.

Example: civil rights acts and voter rights acts are being undone. Blacks are losing their voting rights. This is done to assure the Oligarchy keep power over the 99%. The more they control the money, the more power they have over politicians, and the more rights erode. This is how it works in third world countries where the general population has no power and the oligarchy control everything. This is how it works worldwide, this is how it works here.

Having said all that, I believe that Hillary's supporters just do not want to discuss economics, period, given her ties to the banksters that collapsed it in the first place. That is the root of their position, IMHO.
