Prior to the #MexicanRevolution, 87% of rural land was owned by just 2000 families. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1919, the Carranza régime had #EmilianoZapata murdered. #Zapata's principled fight for #TierraYLibertad remains inspiring and relevant in a world of brutal #oligarchy.
You can tell how comfortable the #oligarchy feels in its power over us when the #oligarchs openly boast about the power they have over "our" government. Gone are the days when oligarchs used to pull the strings from behind the curtain. They boast about it now, because they have no fear of any repercussions.
"The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause.
Meanwhile, retirees, small businesses, and workers are still reeling from the mess.
Trump's actions feel chaotic until you see who really comes out on top."

“This is Putin's playbook.
He allows a business elite to make untold riches
in exchange for absolute loyalty.
Some people are calling this oligarchy,
but it's actually bigger than that.
These are global platforms.
It's broligarchy.”

The re-emergence of #BernieSanders to the stage reminded me of this piece from the 2020 campaign of #HowieHawkins.

This is a must see!

"I call the Silicon Valley companies who attend this conference and even sponsor it, collaborators who are complicit in a regime of fear and cruelty. And I accuse Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, who is talking here on Friday not just of data theft but data rape."
It's a coup and we are not powerless. Do have a look.

Donald Trump’s latest venture, “Trump Dynasty Global™,” now offering authoritarian chic and a side of electoral collapse. Because why stop at gold toilets when you can sell out democracy to Russian oligarchs?

All over the West voters have been fooled into believing they have a choice between right vs left politics, between corporate vs workers choices, between national social services and privatized services.
In truth there's only the alt-right wing and the lite-right wing. The Labour Party in the UK, like the Democrats in the US and the Liberals in Canada are essentially conservatives who hide their intentions under 'nice' words.
Adrian Karatnycky has been on the frontlines for decades fighting for democracy at home and abroad. Andrea and Adrian explore how Europe and the free world can survive the chaos of Trump’s America First isolationism and Russia’s weaponized corruption and election interference.

“cutting wasteful spending”
“Throughout history, too many people have sacrificed too much — fought wars, and braved fire hoses, dogs, bullets and bombs — for this generation to capitulate or sit on the sidelines.”
