Frankly, I never felt suspicious that government and corporate business were colluding an end run around democracy. I felt certain of it, and I know I'm not the only one here who was certain.
It's time to make plans for the post-neoliberal world. New conferences, based on principles of democracy and transparency, should be convened to assure that the future is not corporatist but humanist and democratic. The press is invited, along with their television camera and microphones, but the oligarchs and their political stooges can stay home; they are fired and will be notified of the time and place for each of them to report to a truth and reconciliation commission to deal with their cases. Any statues of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan shall be torn down and the scrap tossed with what's left of the Berlin Wall.
