Why is there so much unrest and fighting in the world? Is it just a coincidence that most of the impact is on the toilers? And who or what is to blame? It is not the wage slaves for they are just barely getting by and in some cases being savaged by raped, killed or sold into slavery. It is not only the Middle East or South America or Ukraine, it is everywhere.
So what are the commonalities? Oil, gas, precious metals and gems, water and among resources, which then equals money and power. If the governments do not respect the ownership of the commons or its people power than the oligarchies will buy some of us, give guns and take what they want, which is all of it. There is never enough for these greedy people, and once the 1/10 of the 1 percent of the billionaires beat the toilers. They will turn on each other, but we, the workers, will be the ones who are forced to do the fighting and killing while they sit back and watch like a sporting event.
We already see this sporting event in the elections where the media is pitting one person against another just to gain more power. It is all driven by greed of the money people, the same old people with so much money that they are now bored with life and need a hobby or new game at our cost.
This is all done by a handful of people. They need to be shown that there is a price to be paid for this type of behavior. I think we opened Pandora’s Box with the Iraq war and all the Bush/Cheney actions, such as torture, invasions of countries based on lies and no one held accountable—all so the oligarchies’ companies could profit off the destruction and killings.
Now we have Russia’s Putin and Ukraine, who saw what our country did to Iraq and Afghanistan and now he is doing or trying to do what the U.S. did. Both government heads of state bought and paid for by the oligarchies and no one is held accountable so it will keep happening until there is accountability.
We have an election in two months, where the hell are the building Trade Unions? Members and organizers should be touting their wages, benefits and seeking out new members and union shops. So far, I’m only hearing crickets. While the Trade Unions sit back, the UAW have been striking and winning big benefits for their members. Then there is the Teamsters, who have taken on the Holy Grail—Amazon, the corporation. Again, just crickets from the Trade Unions. Then there is the Minnesota State model—-we can win more together than we can on our own. So why are all unions not working together? Why are all unions not talking with each other? There are two months left until the election—an election that could conceivably be the death null of unions. If we lose this election to the GOP, Trump and Project 2025, our unions will be destroyed and we’ll be back to the days of trying to make ends meet as the GOP will cut our wages, benefits will be eliminated and there will be nothing we can do abou...
