Whoever you vote for, the economic power - and with that the
political control, stay in the same place, with the biggest
companies and corporations. You can only effect political power, if
you take over the economic control. You have to take into collective
ownership the most powerful blocks in the economy, such as banks,
multinationals. Sounds slightly radical - some of it has been done in
the past when there were large and enthusiastic majorities for it.
It can be done, this time under democratic control and not
to prop op the rest of the private approprietive system.
We produce collectively, time is ripe now to distribute collectively.
Will there be someone with academic credentials to admit reality?
