Given that we were wrong & we lost in Vietnam, we were wrong & we lost in Iraq, and we were wrong & we lost in Afghanistan, what will it take to smash the illusion that an unholy alliance with the military industrial complex & a $780 billion defense budget is anything but a scam?

When it seems the MI complex is in total control of the media narrative, the illusion will continue.

Public financing of elections. Nationalize the defense, pharma, fossil fuel, prison industries that buy politicians to do their capitalist will. Separate billionaires from their wealth.
