We live in an `Elected dictatorship`, Democracy is a `Dictatorship`, of the majority of the citizens. We must stop electing people to `Rule` our lives, a parliament should only have the `Right`to pass a Bill, which must then go to the citizens in a referendum; if the people reject the bill,then it doesn`t happen! The US needs another `citizens` revolution! We must get rid of the `Garbage` that `Rules` us.

The fundamental principle that we need to grapple with is this , Humanity cannot be treated as batteries of energy so a few can enrich and empower themselves the consequence is a world of war,poverty,exploitation,envio­­­­­rnmental destruction and many other terrible ongoing challenges, or We share the earth for all generations to come in harmony and cooperation for our material and emotional needs, We need to understand our common source and our common destiny.

@arzoyan the matrix has many

set people free wiht education and technology. if every person can create their own infrastructure then they have no need for government outside of a few small roles (in my opinion, the ones explicitly delineated in the abandoned/distorted US constitution)

[valeo626]

@terrygand agreed... the constitution has been distorted and abandoned

@FukCommando capitalism keeps them fed better than any other system. the majority of people are able to afford food, even if they suck at managing money. the abundance of food available to the average person is nowhere greater than in an industrialized capitalist economy where merit and productivity, not political power, determines your access to resources.

@terrygand The simplest revolution is: stop shopping. Not demonstrating, going on strike, or voting will do the trick. By shopping the masses have created a New Nobility. other than Kings, Dukes, or Barons. Today they are called differently. The French had to attack the Bastille, and kill their suppressors. Americans just have to stop shopping.

Nobody can force you to buy stuff.

[FukCommando]

@chrispollock capitalism keeps people fed? lol you live in the richest "capitalist" country in the world, ever heard of food stamps?

[arzoyan]

@terrygand The presidential election MASK the DICTATORSHIP OF THE CLASS RULE.

[chrispollock]

@arzoyan in a system of voluntary exchange there is no servitude. the left wing hates a society based on merit, earning and freedom. so they try to get government to create a society based on theft, centralized corruption and moral elitism. if you are calling for communist or socialist utopia, it has always failed, time and again. capitalism, meanwhile, for all its imperfections, keeps people fed, clothed and happy better than anything else ever imagined.

[arzoyan]

@chrispollock Free and Market is a contradiction in terms, the ruling elite over centuries have conditioned the majority for servitude. The language we are using is the life-blood of the ideological manipulations and distortions of our social reality for wage slavery . The MARKET MEHANISM of artificial scarcity cannot be reformed for the interest of vast majority. We need to SHARE THE EARTH IN COOPERATION FOR OUR COMMON NEEDS AND WELL BEING, a moneyless,classless,stateless world of harmony

@arzoyan i work for hard working people who earn their wealth and don't ask for government handouts. leftists, on the other hand, are the thieves; they want the government to subsidize their lifestyles using my hard earned wealth and call it "fair". leftists are the enemies of a society of earning and merit.

[arzoyan]

@chrispollock you are working for thieves.
