War All Of The Time

There’s an old quote that says “Fascism is Capitalism in Decay”. It’s normally attributed to Vladimir Lenin even though he most likely never said it. Whoever said it, Lenin or not, hit the nail on the head.

The war has come home now. Why? Over the past 25 years, look at the wealth inequality gap that has exploded. People are still working all day, every day, but it’s different now. Now they can barely afford to live. Those small escapes the rulers used to give us have now vanished. People now are beginning to see the cell they live inside. With the creature comforts removed, it’s a place of solitude and slavery.

The rich know that masses are waking up to the fact that everything has been taken from them. The old Roman “Bread and Circuses” act isn’t working anymore. Well, when the masses are restless and demanding that the ruling class return some of the wealth they stole, what exactly is there to do?

Well, I think the rulers don’t quite understand yet. The people have nothing to fear anymore. If it’s a choice between being a slave and being dead, I’ll choose dead every day of the week.
