The Supreme Court Takes Off the Gloves

I say it's about time that our money-choked political system is simply handed over to naked, predatory capitalism. I mean, all this pretentious talk about government of, by, and for the people keeps the population feeling as though it’s in control. Now we can openly declare that we have government of, by, and for the militarized corporate plutocracy, and when we vote, all we are really doing is ratifying what the corporations have already decided. As Rabelais said on his death-bed: “Draw the curtains, the farce is over.”

From now on, democracy takes place in the streets.

Sure, I’d hoped for better things—I have children. And I fear it’s going to get ugly. But it’s always darkest before the dawn.

Be of good cheer, and get ready to march.
