Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Does the top photo indicate Communism is good because it's not racist, like the people holding the signs seem to be? What is 'cultural Marxism'? What do the 4 men portray? Is the cartoon approving or disapproving? This is a whole symphony of dog whistles that are going right past me. OBVIOUSLY I need to brush up on my racist/ race-baiting/ red-baiting/ liberal/ conservative/ rhetoric!
Quote:"Cultural Marxism" (both uppercase) is a common snarl word used to paint anyone with progressive tendencies as a secret Communist. The term alludes to a conspiracy theory in which sinister left-wingers have infiltrated media, academia, and science and are engaged in a decades-long plot to undermine Western culture. Some variants of the conspiracy alleges that basically all of modern social liberalism is, in fact, a Communist front group.

Corporate profits have increased about $600 billion per year, while median earnings have decreased about $600 billion, a decrease of $4,000 per person in annual earnings. As employees get a smaller slice of the pie, the corporation gets a larger slice. That larger slice gets passed to corporate share owners and most of those shares are owned by wealthy people. It is a beautiful capitalistic system for concentrating wealth and income into fewer and fewer hands as time goes forward in America. Only a suggestion: The American government can disrupt the logic of the system if the voters have a correct understanding of how the system works.
