Parasiti-capitalism: How Investors Drain Companies and Call It Growth How modern capital captures control, drains cash flow, and leaves economies weaker.

Todayโ€™s financial system drains companies and calls it growth. Investors enrich themselves not by generating new value, but by extracting existing value. Itโ€™s not just that wealth is failing to trickle down; itโ€™s being actively siphoned up. substack.com/@graceblakel... #democraticsocialism

Interested in the co-op movement? The developing 'Preston Model' in the U.K. ain't revolution but it's a handy show of everyday resistance, and a natty alternative to disastrous public-private partnerships. #democraticsocialism #cooperatives #workplacedemocracy More: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfcK...

The world's richest 10% own 75% of wealth; the bottom 50% owns only 2%. The new World Inequality Report concludes: "Inequality is a political choice. It is the result of our policies, institutions & governance structures... The challenge is political will."

A lot of people seem to be making their minds up about YourParty before those involved have hashed things out at Conference & then launched. How many of these formative conflicts could have been avoided if there had been agreed policies and proper procedures in place? Give 'em time, folks! ๐Ÿค˜
