Leadership is empowered by the people. Eliminate the people that support such leadership and support such industry from the bottom up, erode their support base. We’ve already seen with Brian and Charlie that attacking power and influence does nothing, it just plugs a new seat-warmer into the system or uses martyrdom to catapult its agenda to the next level. You can gather as many people together as you like to “demand” whatever it is that you want, but without the resolve to force the issue should the demand be ignored, demands mean nothing. You’re not just up against the wealth class, you’re up against an entitled middle class that has “enough” and will empower a wealth class to do the dirty work of suppressing upward mobility for anyone else. There’s people who would be unable to survive without our meager social supports that will empower people who promise to rip away social supports. Whether they think they’ll be the exception to that rule or are willing to ruin themselves just to ruin someone else… who knows.

The working class does not unite because it there is a culture of bigotry deeply embedded in the social culture. Some of it is manipulated by leaders to secure their ascension, sometimes they play toss the scraps and let us squabble while they play the party power trade game while having no intention of bringing any real change to the system. No amount of talk, no amount of economic or political change is going to amount to anything if the people seeking change don’t address the root of the problem- the fascist loving bigots in their neighborhood. Allow that to continue and America’s culture of hate might get defeated short term, but just like Reconciliation, it’ll fester, plot, scheme, strategize, divert, create loopholes, exploit, and even if it takes 150yrs, it’ll resurface as the same old hate in a new hat.
