The strategy of the GOP oligarchies is to control the governments from the local level to the state to the federal level and the U.S. Supreme Court. Their biggest and most effective weapon is money, which they have the most of, and everyone knows, unfortunately, money equals power. The 99 percent working people have more people than the 1 percent, which means the Have Nots have their own kind of power.
The people’s only chance to add money to their strategy is through unions and their members paying dues and this is why the GOP is so hell bent on destroying the means of unions collecting dues from union members. Using tactics like Right to Work laws in states and laws that let workers be in a union without paying dues, yet receiving all the union benefits. So the union members who do pay their dues are supporting the benefits of the non-paying members. It is easy to see how this is working out for the money strategy on both sides—union and GOP.
Right to Work has nothing to do with the right to work, it is just about money, and workers not having to pay dues, which would give unions some money to add to their only power—people. This is one of the reasons for the $15 to $18 an hour minimum wage increase needs to happen. Not only would this be good for the workers and boost the consumer-driven capitalist economy system, which spending represents about 67 percent. It would also bring more union members into the people’s fold to increase the people and money for a better chance of winning the inequality war between the Have Alls and Have Nots. You must understand yourself and understand your enemy.
Remember this prime truth that all evil is caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. Power also comes from organization of people who have religious ideas and want power to propagate their beliefs. They form a church of people to follow their political ideas and want the power to put them into practice. They organize and call it a religion, but it’s really a political party.
Organization equals people which equals power which equals money which equals winning.
The $15 to $18 an hour minimum wage, free education, free healthcare and hopefully a pension for when you’re old and worn from making money for the 1 percent. Can you see why the oligarchies do not want you to have all these things? If you had all this, not only would it close the inequality gap, but it would also make you independent from their abuses as your boss.
In 2012 more than a quarter of all political contributions came from just 30,000 people who represented the 1 percent of the 1 percent, 90 percent who spent the most won. Today, we are an experiment in either a democracy, which started in 1787 or an oligarchy, which is winning. The nonunion people, like Trump and Musk, have most all the tools in their pockets to destroy our unions. They have money, they have the courts, they have law enforcement, they have the media, and 50 percent of workers that don’t know this don’t know the history of the working class people. This is the perfect storm to lose all the gains workers have made whether they’re union or not, even our Social Security and Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act. So, now we will have to go way back to the late 1920s and ‘30s and dig up the old labor party books. One book, written in 1964, has the information, The Rebel Voices, an IWW Anthology by Joyce L. Kornbluh, educator, activist, and advocate. The history of our labor...
