dominion ends, assuming it does end-(and that will be a fight since we haven't bothered to undo the top 1%'s stranglehold on power, mostly white people btw)-is in my opinion incredibly naive. We've ceded the class war, which means there will always be not just the financial incentive to divide us, but the means and economic mechanisms to do so. Get people to fight over the crumbs and pay no attention to the person with the pie in his maw...age old story
