- No doubt the Wall St money-mongers and their political
stooges in Washington are savoring the thought of once again sticking it
to the working man and getting away with it. And why should'nt they? Where
were the mass protests of working men and women opposing NAFTA and Free
Trade resulting in the loss of millions of American jobs? Where were the
labor unions when Americas industrial base was abandoned and left to rust?
-
- Where was the anger and rage spilling into the streets
when Congress voted to give billions of taxpayer dollars to the Wall St
banks and nothing to those losing their homes, jobs, and savings? Well,
without any meaningful opposition it is no wonder the robber barons of
Wall St. have felt free to continue looting and plundering what is left
of our economy.
-
- However, it should not be construed that the lack of
opposition to the evil designs of the ruling class is out of fear or ignorance
but rather the negative effect of decades of lies, propaganda, distortion
and distraction spewed out by the corporate controlled mass media in which
almost every word, written or spoken, advances in one way or another the
agenda of the capitalist ruling class.
-
- This modern version of bread and circuses has up to now
been mostly effective in keeping the working class from realizing its potential
for revolutionary change, but this is about to end.
-
- The capitalist ruling class in its relentless pursuit
of profit regardless of the consequences has plunged America into its worst
economic collapse since the days of the Great Depression. With tens of
millions of unemployed, soaring bankruptcy and home foreclosures, wage
stagnation, homelessness, skyrocketing personal debt, a health care crisis
and now growing numbers Americans going hungry, the capitalist hierarchy
and their political lapdogs are rapidly losing what little credibility
they have left.
-
- Despite the best efforts of the media whores, an awakening
in the mind of the people is begining to take place and as insignificant
as the anger and disaproval of the average citizen towards his political
and economic slave masters may seem at present, will in the future serve
as the foundation upon which the shackles of parasitic capitalism will
be broken and swept into the trashbin of history.
-
- A workers revolution forecast long ago by Marx and Engels,
is once again in the realm of possibility, the ever lengthening shadow
of which hangs over the corporate boardrooms, stock markets, banks, investment
houses, government offices and the mansions of the wealthy. Is it not obvious
to all thinking men and women that capitalism is a dismal failure and is
time to replace it with an economic system controlled by those whose labor
makes wealth possible in the first place? Why do we insist on allowing
a small group of wealthy and powerful men to control our wealth and in
turn our lives and the lives of our children?
-
- The capitalists will not compromise with the working
man, nor will they give up their hold over a government which they have
long ago bribed and corrupted to suit their selfish and destructive purposes.
We must rid ourselves of this corporote fascist economic minority dictatorship
and replace it with the will of the working majority.
