Socialism is back in the news! At one point socialist presidential runs reached 17% of the vote in the US. It had to be squashed. An excellent talk on socialism, communism, and the reasons of obstruction from capitalism. Attacking socialism as a government entity draws in the ignorant population to adhere to their captive system, where only those with the most can participate. Socialism is gaining in the US today again. If you're not all to familiar with it, educate yourself on it. Know why we can't allow it to be squashed again.

We've become a nation surviving on debt. We have in 40 years sent our women into the work force, forced older people to work longer, created a student debt in the trillions, to sustain a unlivable life that has created millions of failed children and families. We have become numbly compliant to allow it for the benefit of profits to the ruling elite towards inequality stamping us into a delusional reality. This isn't an accident. Where does this go? It is imperative we turn the means of production towards our favor!

Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
