A #legal_system becomes a system of #justice when it holds the #wealthy, the #privileged and the #powerful to a higher standard of #responsibility and #accountability. One that does the inverse is a system of #slavery. The latter is guaranteed to succumb to a #revolution after a short rein.

This is a gentle reminder to those building systems that protect privilege and the privileged. Your creation will become your #tomb when it finally collapses in on you. #Treachery has a price.

#UK Mega-donors overseas are already trying to get around the £100,000 cap

If we are serious about protecting our #democracy, the rules cannot be this easy to sidestep.

The solution is simple. We need a #donation cap for all donors, regardless of where they live.

@QasimRashid #wealthy being the key word here. Remember, folks, it's a #classwar not a #racewar. Race is just #bait for us 'plebs' to fight over. Financial contributions are #colorblind to these creatures.

A quotation from Melville

Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed.

Herman Melville (1819-1891) American writer
Story (1854-06), “Poor Man’s Pudding and Rich Man’s Crumbs,” “Picture First,” Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Vol. 9

This explains historical and current political struggles in a nutshell.

"Similar to in modern #democracies, the Strategoi [of ancient Athens] were often divided into two opposing #political groups: aristocratic #conservatives and #liberal pro-democracy radicals. The conservatives hoped to limit democracy to the #wealthy few, while the liberals wished to further bolster the democratic process and grant more power to the common #citizens of Athens."
