President Trump and Israel have clearly bitten off more than they can chew. There’s a real possibility of losing this war. America is blowing up schoolchildren. Formerly stalwart allies are refusing to help. It’s barely started and this war is a total disaster… unprovoked, illegal, unnecessary. Donald Trump has brought shame to this great nation.

If history is any guide the end of this period of oligarchy will likely lead to a more democratic period. Democracy, true democracy is people power. Rule by many. When the people decide things that matter, about their economy, about their workplace, about going to war, that’s democracy. You can’t have owners and have that. #history #democracy #oligarchy #hope

TikTok wouldn’t let me repost this from last year… probably because it clearly describes why communism won in China. It was a simple policy change: Ditch the landlords. See what TikTok’s new owners would prefer you didn’t…
