People who say “all you need is a change in consciousness” are privileged enough to have food on the table & a roof over their head; people who think all we need is political change underestimate the psychological & emotional forces that are roiling beneath the surface of things

It doesn't matter how many times you change pilots.. if the plane is defective.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Well, that’s an assumption. I can say without any doubt that the people I know who would say your consciousness precedes your doing, have not all had food on the table and a roof over their heads.

Can I get a follow back @marwilliamson?
Replying to @marwilliamson
I needed to hear that. Thanks.

The real change in consciousness will not predate but result from or at best coincide with working people uniting, taking over, and reorganizing social life on a basis of mutual respect and solidarity.

the psychological & emotional forces largely arise from economic immiseration

I'm facing bankruptcy from medical debt, & the Hell that Biden wrought on us, from his bill... so I hope you have 1 Hell of a way to make this OK to me. Or else it's an unfollow & a ton of anger to you. Don't make me pick from 1 who STARTED this Hell, and 1 that's made it WORSE.
