The #WealthGap isn’t just growing - it’s exploding. Wages stagnate while profits soar.
A few billionaires control more wealth than all the other people combined - and with that, billionaires control politics and who is in government!
#UBI doesn’t “punish success” - it ensures #everyone has a chance to succeed. Because no one should have to beg for basic survival in the richest era in history.
#FBPE #RejoinEU The majority of voters want higher taxes on the wealthy, but Labour ignores them. Instead, they cut benefits for disabled people. Who are they really working for? #LabourBetrayal #DisabilityRights #LabourIdeals #PolicyShift #EconomicJustice

A cooperative organization isn't a panacea. American cooperatives are filled with members who've compartmentalized coop method within their dominant paradigm of neoliberalism, short-sighted, self-seeking, self-serving, hyper-individualistic, class competitive and capable of predating upon their own.

John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, has a little contact form on his website mediated by goddamn Squarespace. But I still used it to write to him to ask, "Don't you think the obvious thing is for the left to unite internationally and leverage mass labor and economic power to insist on the institution of a real Global Surplus Recycling Mechanism at the IMF and World Bank now, like John Keynes originally proposed at Bretton Woods?"
Quickly, and apparently without much thought, he replied that the IMF and World Bank were dictatorial and not worth our focus in confronting the rise of fascism. BUT THE POINT IS THAT WE USE THE ONLY LEVERAGE WE HAVE AS THE POOR AND WORKING CLASS MASSES TO DEMAND A TRANSFORMATION OF THE TOP DICTATORSHIP SO THAT THERE IS NO LONGER A TOP DICTATORSHIP, AND INSTEAD, A FUNCTIONAL, TRANSPARENT, PUBLIC UNION OF EQUALS THANKS TO FAIR, EGALITARIAN SURPLUS REGULTION, WHICH HAS STILL NOT BEEN TRIED.
DOES NO ONE UNDERSTAND ME?!
The economy is supposedly doing well, but your #paycheck isn’t. #Billionaires add millions to their wealth every day, but you’re told to “just work harder.”
What if the problem isn’t you? What if the #system is designed to keep people struggling? What if billionaires and corporations were taxed the same way you are?
#UBI shifts the balance. It gives power back to #people instead of #corporations
The class war against #PublicEducation has always existed, escalated with #desegregation, with an unrelenting assault ever since.

Did you know that in the months before he was assassinated, Dr. King was building a broad fusion movement for economic justice? Join the "transforming force" of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, which is continuing Dr. King's work.

Gary Stevenson: Why Left and Right Economic Policies Are Doomed to Fail
Gary Stevenson, a former Citibank trader turned inequality expert, delivers a hard-hitting two-part series exposing why both left- and right-wing economic policies are bound to fail. After making a fortune predicting economic downturns, Stevenson realized that rising inequality is the root cause of economic dysfunction. Now, he’s breaking down how mainstream policies—regardless of political affiliation—fail to address this growing crisis.
In Part 1, Stevenson dissects Labour’s economic approach, which he calls “managed sensibilism.” Their plan? Borrow a little more, tax a little more, and invest a little more—an approach that economists praise but one that has already failed in the U.S. and Germany. While GDP growth and unemployment figures look strong, ordinary people are struggling with rent, bills, and even food. The real issue is inequality—and Labour, like Biden’s Democrats, is ignoring it.
Instead of taxing the wealthy, Labour will either borrow from them—an increasingly difficult task—or raise taxes on working people, making living standards even worse. And with the UK in a much weaker borrowing position than the U.S., their strategy is set to fail even faster. The rich continue to absorb wealth like a black hole, while the middle class shrinks and the poor fall deeper into financial despair.
This episode lays the groundwork for Part 2, where Stevenson will examine the right-wing economic model and why it, too, is destined to collapse.
Watch now and join the discussion—are Western economies trapped in a cycle of failure, or is there a real way forward?

From critiques of billionaires and capitalism to direct political resistance, these artworks turn the streets into a gallery of dissent. Whether stenciled, pasted, or […]
UBI: The Freedom to Live, Not Just Survive
Imagine never having to choose between rent and groceries. Never fearing a single emergency could wipe you out. Never feeling trapped in a job you hate just to survive.
UBI makes this possible. A guaranteed income means security, dignity, and opportunity. It’s not a handout — it’s an investment in you.
If billionaires get bailouts, why not the people who built this country?
