Howard Zinn's Ghost

Stay focused. Don't get distracted. Keep your energy focused on the higher ups, not your neighbors. I'm optimistic that we're close to understanding each other and building a genuine working class movement. Don't let the powers that be drive a wedge between us again. (4/4)

B. Actively trying to pit us against each other by lying about who the elites actually are and distracting us with the culture war. (ex: blaming our problems on lgbt people, college students, migrants, and racial minorities). (3/4)

Unfortunately, the only party willing to acknowledge how bad things have gotten is:

A. Promoting policies that make the situation worse (ex: more tax cuts for said elites, blatant promotion of corporate oligarchy) (2/4)

So what's been made clear to me after the events of this week is that at this point we are all able to easily identify the biggest problem that we face in this country (that of immense economic inequality brought about by greedy financial elites). (1/4)
