The political axis that defines our times is not between left and right. That is simply a smokescreen. The real dichotomy is between the powerful and the powerless, between those who have capital and easy access to capital versus those who are always struggling to survive. Our current system maintains the dichotomy, leaving a huge amount of suffering baked into the cake. Only an uprising at the ballot box (in addition to the resurgence in the labor movement) can change the calculus. #Marianne2024
