Even if a #Progressive is elected, hypothetically speaking, they won't be able to do the shit they say cos they'll be backed into a corner.

#Congress, #Politicians & #Corporations & #WallStreet will not let it happen.

A tiny minority of people still get a say, there's still #exploitation, there would be a #CapitalStrike which would lead to #civil unrest and possibly a coup to take power back for #capitalist class with the forces of the #reactionary.

#CorporationsAreNotPersons, and so if a corporation's actions are in conflict with the interests of real people, the corporation should lose. Every time.

The #CapitalStrike currently being enacted by the gas industry in #Australia is pure petulance at *any* limit on outrageous, planet-wrecking profits from fossil fuels.

They have no entitlement to this. This is an immoral, unconscionable action. End it, forcibly, now.

“The gas industry is still behaving like a bunch of bullies and ... withholding supply”. This is a capital strike, holding us to ransom. It must be broken. Declare emergency. Set up a commission like ABCC. No right to silence. Raid offices. Audit them. Gaol executives. Expropriate licenses.
If this treatment is good enough for the workers, then these bastard gas companies can cop it too, and any other striking capital.
