Most of my life I’ve identified as a liberal and a Democrat. As I’ve aged I’ve evolved into a Democratic Socialist. I spent years working within the capitalist ‘system’, mostly in technology. I enjoyed my career. But it has become clear to me that
#capitalism has not only failed the working class; our seniors and our youth, it is poisoning the planet. A system that, in previous decades, actually did work in some ways: it fostered a middle class, enabled home ownership, provided living-wage jobs; and, had something of a safety net. But now, the US ‘system’ has been co-opted by
#oligarchs & fascist politicians bent on destroying all we’ve accomplished.
#Billionaires w/political agendas control the government, the media, & the economy. The rich are getting richer while the rest of us suffer. This is not sustainable. What’s ominous is that the powers that be recognize that and appear to be prepping measures to keep us all down - and compliant. We need to take back our future - if it’s not too late.
