Inequality is the scourge of the U.S. and the world. Just ask French economist Thomas Piketty, or U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen or many intelligent business leaders, and they will tell you that inequality is at its highest in a hundred years. Inequality is the Ebola of the capitalist system, which bleeds out the 99 percent so the 1 percent can continue to make its obscene profits. Just like Ebola, the capitalist system and its inequality is spreading worldwide and it is or will affect everyone if not stopped.
When the proletarians have no money to buy the services and goods that the wage slaves produce then the unemployment grows, which puts a larger burden on government. The government has less money because there are fewer taxpayers at every level. Inequality is a black hole, which will get deeper and larger until it sucks all and everyone into it bringing along with it frustrations, fear and uncertainty, and this is where the breeding grounds are created for the groups like the Islamic State (ISIS or ISISL), Al Qaeda, the Ku Klux Klan and other fringe hate groups that reign with terror.
The common core that ultimately leads disenfranchised people to these hate groups is inequality. However, inequality is the one thing the 99 percent can change by forcing the money hoarders to part with some of their cash and this is done by forcing a $15 to $18 an hour minimum wage, close all the loopholes that allow them to bank offshore like Ireland did, make the 1 percent and all the corporations pay their fair share in government taxes, provide for a free education, fix our broken healthcare system to a single payer system, and provide pensions.
The wage slaves must stay connected worldwide, sharing their Intel and their strategies, which, if done thoroughly and consistently, will make it hard for the greedy 1 percent to run an undeveloped country to rape and pillage the country’s workers with their low wage-unsafe work conditions, or to hide their money. The wage slaves must expose and chase the rich wherever they go. The proletariats now have new technology and should use every aspect of it, even small drones at protests for Intel on the law enforcement and build clearinghouses or databases on what is working and what is not working.
Another thing to keep the 1 percent off balance would be to change leaders quickly and often, and mix up the genders of the leaders. For most law enforcement agencies are led by men who think alike. There are not many female 1 percent leaders or law enforcement leaders so their strategies and tactics would work because it would be a foreign concept to most of the male-centered thinking.
Also, there is no such thing as a secret any more. Spies and infiltrators is a common thing so now the tactics should focus on speed to hit and run, the old guerilla warfare, examine their weaknesses and devise ways to capitalize on them, move place to place, have many plans, be flexible to change up the plans if need be to meet the demands of the present situation.
Lastly, is education about our history, have many plans; keep in mind the 1 percent are listening so use this knowledge to your advantage (as outlines in the Art of War). Gaining a minimum wage of at least $15 to $18 an hour [which has proven successful by The Container Store, which pays its employees $50,000 a year and is thriving] will be a big victory in the states for turning back the scourge of inequality.
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...
