The last Gilded Age was followed by a Progressive Era and this one will be too. People will only take so much. America has self-corrected in the past and we’re going to self-correct again.

The only lesson America learns from history is how to block progressive and labor movements from gaining traction. The bad stuff happens again and again because they want it to.

You’re leaving out that labor unions were created to begin with.

Just remember, the oligarchs have learned their lessons too; they are better prepared than we are. It may take actual pitchforks this time.

There's such a thing as over-correction too. Usually doesn't end well.

It is time for the surfs and plebeians to rise up for some scraps off of the table.

The people were smarter back then. They didn't have decades of oligarch indoctrination from Fox News and right-wing talk radio.

The progressive era is here. It's called the Belt & Road Initiative and it is an open system for all nations to join. It doesn't come with a long list of rules and stipulations like that imposed by the IMF and World Bank. Wall Street prevents development.
