Message to brainwashed western people living under evil capitalism regime #7476
Michael Parenti, in his book “The Assassination of Julius Caesar”, utterly destroyed the Western idealism in Democracy by pointing out the utter restrictive constructs the wealthy imposed on the masses to have their voices heard. Julius was assassinated due to his land reforms, debt forgiveness, and overall advocation of the masses. Their history was narrated by elites, and their system of government is only a reflection of their oligarchical powers portrayed as “freedom.” We seen it in the founding of the United States, where the slave-owning founding fathers did not allow anyone except land owning white men to vote, while capitalizing on populist rhetoric of freedom, liberty, and democracy. And yet still today, votes are being repressed, gerrymandered, and corrupted. Lobbyists are a legal venue to corrupt “elected” politicians while the masses suffer from horrendous debt, healthcare, income inequality, and education. Millions homeless and go hungry in the wealthiest nation in the world. To epitomize these contradictions, they want people to believe China is a failure for lifting 800 million from poverty in a span of a generation. The Soviet Union, from feudal beginnings to space-exploring superpower, failed. Burkina Faso and their vaccination of millions of children and deforestation, women’s liberation efforts failed. Cuba’s medical/scientific accomplishments and standard of living increase while having a trillion dollar blockade failed. The list can go on. Western democracy is an illusion for the masses to promote and sustain the power of the rich. I'd rather have a dictatorship of the proletariat, one party, one body, putting the people first.
