Actions we could take beyond voting to reclaim our country
The symptoms of change are looming over us. We all see it. But no one is saying it.
You’ll be happy to know more people feel this way than you think. I talk to a lot of people about it. Bars. Parks. Lyfts. The appliance guy. House guests from around the world. I make it a priority to directly ask people what they think about the state of things. I find it’s the best way to understand the world. Get information and views from people face to face. Not filtered through the elaborate media system called network news that we pretend is anything but state media. The truth lies in the word of others.
But there is a shift. I’m not the one bringing it up anymore.
I don’t even have to convince people of my views.
What seems to be happening now is everyone is starting to say it out loud to each other.
America is not a country. It’s a corporation. And we’re like unwilling employees. Forced to pay for their bombs. One big company town.
Individual 1: I’ve been having to tell my kids we are totally safe and I feel like that is a lie because I don’t know that and now I don’t even think that so if it was just me, a dude, it wouldn’t be as scary for just me to die, but I have to protect them to so this shit is extra scary–not saying it isn’t as scary for everybody else and even worse for so many people.
Trump is terrible for innumerable reasons, but the unexpected upside to that is he doesn’t hide his naked fascism and it’s waking people up who were in a deep sleep or too busy trying to survive.
I’m an eternal optimist. We just have to come up with a plan to fix it. They’re all 80 year olds and can’t even stand up.
We’re very fortunate we got incompetent fascists instead of competent fascists. There’s a million cracks in this whole setup and you see them falling apart more and more everyday.
So many people have finally realized he’s a fucking fraud and is robbing us blind.
Individual 1: I have a journal with a lot of lyrics that are very anti-war anti-Trump [and some people act] like I’m crazy because it’s lyrics about capitalism and war
You would have to be heartless to not have that type of journal.
Humans were not meant to live in a world like this.
We absolutely must create a better world.
Individual 1: Imagine being so fucking powerful like Trump and Elon and all you see is how many millions of people fucking hate you. How could you live with yourself?
Men like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, and Donald Trump, lack every decent human trait a person can lack.
They don’t even think about it, and once in a rare moment it will all come to them, and they will immediately just block it out. They lie to themselves so well that they believe every lie.
They’re hopeless.
Greed is a disease, the worst one to have.
Some people call it human nature. But you only believe it’s human nature because you were raised in a capitalist hellscape that programmed you to believe it was human nature so you would accept the system forced upon you uncritically.
The greatest sin of capitalism is that the ultimate goal is to hold enough ownership in other people’s labor that you yourself do not have to work. Instead of a system that dignifies labor with a livable existence, it incentivizes you to become a part of the system. For every ladder ring you climb, you become the person exploiting the person you used to be on the ladder.
The end game of capitalism is always slavery–people don’t understand this. Capitalists want to extract as much labor from you for as little cost as possible. Capitalism and slavery are synonyms. We never ended slavery in the first place, we just rebranded it and made up excuses to lock up minorities and called them criminals so everyone else would look the other way.
We have identified the problem. It is now time to identify the solutions.
It’s become clear to many of us we cannot vote our way out of this situation.
I haven’t seen any very convincing plans, so I’m proposing we become more organized and start discussing some plans. The world is crumbling and we need to band together as a community to decide the future world we want to live in.
Dual government. Stop paying the feds. Stronger states. Invest in your neighbors. Stay strapped. Gather peacefully with your weapons to show our numbers. There’s 3,000 billionaires and they’re all cowards. Give them a reason to be afraid.
Their rigged voting system is predominantly designed to make us feel like we can change things through that system. Electoral politics is a mirage they cast to keep you from getting creative. Look up MOVE, the Black Panthers, and check out other generally successful revolutionary movements from around history and the world.
For instance in the 30s and 40s, the rich only made concessions with legislation such as the New Deal because they were afraid of getting dragged out of their homes and drawn and quartered by the masses. What followed was one of the most prosperous ages of public good.
We need leverage; right now that’s our labor and our guns. We can’t withhold our labor because we don’t have the proper mechanisms in place to survive without their allowance. We can’t use our guns because that’s simply a terrible idea. We can however visibly and publicly gather in large numbers peaceably with our guns to illustrate just how many more of us there are of us than them.
There’s about 5,000 people who are actively destroying everything for the rest of us. Everyone beneath them falls into a few camps, among them: the propagandized; those who fear power and stay in line because of it; those close to power who believe they will achieve it; those who benefit from the system and are therefore willing to actively or passively uphold it; those who do not rank on the power structure but are otherwise too comfortable to act or unwilling to risk whatever privileges they have to change their patterns. You can’t convince those people easily. It can take years of meeting them where they are. You can give them little threads to pull and that’s about it. So if you can’t sway the minds of the people who uphold the system, you need some kind of leverage over the people who control the system.
Have any of us considered infiltrating corporations on a mass scale (even if it took 30 to 100 years) and then simply locking all the C-Suite hacks out of the systems? Could we build peer to peer supply chains? Open source decentralized social media?
There are simple things we need to do right now: Get to know your neighbors. Try to come up with a plan by talking to them.
There are more complex things we can do in the future, such as build independent solar grids not hooked up to the grid and share excess power with your neighbors who can’t afford solar yet.
To compete in the criminal housing market and secure a home before the sharks buy up the entire country, you could find a group of people to split a down payment on a home. Do so intentionally, with groups of people you trust. Build a community of people of the same mind. Build a community of contributors. Community keeps us safe and it keeps us strong.
For those that are willing to risk their security by taking action to protect their communities, you could arm yourself and organize anti-fed check points.
For those who have means of survival or convictions that outweigh them: You could stop paying taxes.
For those with the resources, time and labor: you could grow your own food as much as possible or find someone in your community who already does and support them. If you do grow your own food, you could sell to or share neighbors, depending on your needs and means.
For those who like to chat, explain neo-colonialism and late stage capitalism to drunk strangers at bars. Get their number.
For those with an entrepreneurial spirit: start a collective small business and leave your corporate slave job.
Don’t murder CEOs.
But it is key not only to share common values with people, but a common goal.
I believe the ultimate task at hand is identifying and exploiting our leverage. First we have to identify what leverage we can exert.
That leverage could be fear, it could be infiltration, it could be whatever you are creative enough to come up with.
But first and foremost, nothing will change unless we find meaningful collective leverage we can exert over the tiny fraction of humanity that rules us. We just have to work together to figure out what that leverage is before things turn past the point of peaceful resolution, which is coming soon.
The elite are planning on pivoting hard into the private prison industry and happen to be criminalizing homelessness across the country, buying up the housing supply, and funding the largest mass kidnapping agency in history. Their plan to address the impending crisis is to simply imprison anyone they choose and force the rest of us to pay for it.
They pocket the money because they run the prisons.
America is a free for all in the absence of due process. The corporation’s business is imprisonment and involuntary servitude. That’s how they plan to make money off us.
They’re being built everywhere. They call them “detention camps.” They bought a warehouse in Arizona for one of them. Right in a neighborhood. The budget for them is huge. That’s money that’s going from our pockets to our oppressors’ pockets and then they use that money to oppress us.
They plan to manage us. I say we manage ourselves.
That kind of power could be used building actual homes, schools, bridges and rails. It could be used for the public good, not a private prison racket that is undoubtedly an echo of slavery.
In order to transfer that power from them to us, we need to do a few things: organize, plan, identify our leverage, exert it, negotiate.
We do already have leverage, leverage you can exert at this moment. Chief among them is the Boycott-Sanctions-Divest movement, or BDS. BDS is one of the most effective tools in recent history and one that you don’t have to sacrifice your safety, living, or time to do.
In the meantime, we must build our communities. Get to know your neighbors. Arm yourself. Learn how to use the weapons. Train yourself. Stand your ground.
This administration made the geopolitical mistake of the century in forcing Iran’s hand on the Strait of Hormuz. The economies and industries built on oil are in a flurry. The economies and industries based on renewable energies are impartial to the current circumstances.
The world of greed clung to the dying world because it had built their empires. But their empire has no contingency for this. The data centers that were to power the American data centers to compete in the global artificial intelligence race have all been designed to operate on fossil fuels, and fossil fuels may be notoriously hard to come by for some foreseeable future. They built their house of cards.
Now the chickens are coming home to roost. It’s up to us to build a dual government now and mandate a government by human beings and cast out these elites like the leeches they are.

Let's eat the rich (actually)
I’ve come to a conclusion. Many of those my age and in my generation have committed to a meatless existence. Out of compassion for our fellow animals. However, we still crave meat. I would to like to propose a solution that resolves this quandary: eat the rich.
Humans generally have come to the conclusion if something tastes good enough, it’s ok to kill and eat it.
I can’t think of any any animal that deserves to die. But humans? I can think of many.
Well billionaires, how do you taste? It’s been a long while since I’ve had meat. I do miss it.
And besides, we’d be solving two problems. For one, we can satiate the undeniable human hunger for meat, and two, the rich won’t need their riches once they’re devoured by the rest of us. It would even finally cut down on the emissions that are killing the planet; the vast majority of which is emitted by the 0.01% of global society.
The rich could be a delicacy. Something to enjoy whenever your local despot gets out of control.
Our ancestors would tear their tyrants limb from limb.
Think about it. Meat may be back on the menu, boys.
Just kidding.
It would be insane to say something like “eat the rich.”
Yet it seems so many people are saying it these days.

Elon Musk is the most pitiful man alive
The entire world watches as he torches our future and personally destroys our institutions all in pursuit of something that is simply beyond his grasp: Happiness.
The man is a cautionary tale of Biblical proportions of the mortal sins of greed and envy. He has the most fatal illness known to man. His greed has filled his pockets but emptied the contents of his soul. The Elon Musks of the world spend their entire lives trying to buy back the soul they sold to make their riches. They need to understand they will simply never find it–and no amount of money will ever change that, Elon Musk.
There comes his second mortal sin: envy. Musk’s inability to love, to feel loved, tortures him. He envies what others have but doesn’t understand why he doesn’t have it. What he lacks is a core trait that binds us all: humanity. Elon Musk has none.
You cannot value humanity and wield your power to the ends that Elon Musk has done and continues to do.
This charlatan was recently awarded the largest CEO compensation package in history. The agreement, most likely vested over some few years, ultimately rewards Elon Musk with one trillion dollars in assets.
This is at the same time SNAP benefits have been cut off. The same time his extra-governmental agency cut congressionally appropriated funding to social institutions that benefit us all. The same time he’s announced plans to build a humanoid robot police force.
Then recently, we see a video of Elon Musk’s sorry-excuse-for-human-expression attempt to share in the joys of humanity with our most basic common language: dance.
Alone on the stage is Musk flanked by a dancing Tesla robot.
Handily a perfect metaphor for Elon Musk’s life that a robot he built to love him is the only possible entity that would ever love this man. To quote more sophisticated literature, “a man beloved only by those he built to love him”.

Mamdani must not be a Judas Sheep
We should celebrate the win of Zohran Mamdani. It represents a seismic shift in public opinion. But we should also pay attention to how his campaign succeeded. Mamdani benefitted from $37 million dollars of donations into PACs that supported him, predominantly from Alex Soros, a billionaire with his own vested interests who almost certainly wants something in return.
We have to be wary of our allies in electoral politics.
Zohran has affirmed Israel’s “right to exist as a state with equal rights” and at the same time downplayed the significance of legitimate Palestinian resistance of an occupation which is illegal under international law. This law is meaningless in a world in which the US maintains complicity if not direct responsibility for the events we have seen play out in Gaza.
“The old world is dying, the new world struggles to be born” - Antonio Gramsci
What we must understand is Gaza was a testing ground. A military lab room in which the Empire tested its tools of oppression. Do not believe they are not preparing to import those lessons domestically. They were testing to see what the world would allow them to get away with. They’re exterminating an entire people and the world is simply watching it happen.
This is not a conflict that can be solved with electoral politics and we should be cautious not to put our faith in electoral politics.
The Democratic establishment has a long history of capturing the genuine rage and energy that ebbs and flows in the American left. They send out performers to tour America and redirect that energy back into the establishment. Fundraising tours. Tours where they control the conversation. Where they refuse to platform Palestinians.
Obama comes to mind as one of the ultimate betrayals of the American left. Obama campaigned on fundamental changes that would break through the ceiling of what was possible in American politics and instead delivered a half-measure health policy, thousands of civilian drone strike victims (quietly behind smooth talking and smiles), and most importantly: the blank check bailout given to the billionaire owner class despite the fact that the crisis emerged from their criminal overspeculation on housing, which is a basic human right, not a rentier extortion casino. Companies like Blackrock surged in ownership over homes after the fallout of the 2008 housing collapse. Not only did these groups benefit, but the banks that were bailed out became immensely more wealthy than they were before the collapse. CitiGroup, as of almost a decade ago, held over $38T in assets. The money we gave them is money the taxpayer will never see any repayment or dividends from. That’s money owed back with interest, but we’ll never see it. The money went directly from the bottom to the top. Rugged individualism for the poor, socialism for the corporations. We have a system in which the interests of capital prevail over the general welfare. Obama promised to derail that system, instead he enforced it. Obama is a war criminal and the ultimate class traitor.
Electoral politics made some of us in our youth mistakenly pin our hopes on Obama. Then Sanders. Then AOC. But none of the movements energized by those people has ever ultimately escaped capture by the establishment. It’s then the movement is sterilized, neutered, and slowly dissolved.
We are yet to see with Mamdani.
But whether you believe in electoral politics or not, we do have to acknowledge the significance of a Democratic Socialist who refused to pander to radical Judaists and ended up sweeping an election in none other than the city with the largest population of Jews second only to Tel Aviv. In exit polls, Mamdani was up 40 points with male voters aged 18 - 39. That directly contradicts the characterization that the left has lost the male demographic and that the younger generation is becoming increasingly racially conservative.
While it is true that many young men fall into the alt-right pipeline, it seems perhaps more of them escape it than not.
But more broadly, the general shift in sentiment demonstrates that the undercurrent Americans have been feeling for decades is now more than an undercurrent. This feeling that our government is beyond saving is becoming more and more commonplace.
The frustration and anger is giving rise to class consciousness on both sides of the aisle. Many MAGA voters are beginning to learn they actually are disposable to the movement. Trump’s tariffs have resulted in soybean farmers unable to secure a single export to China while at the same time Trump gives a $40 billion dollar bailout to Argentinian cattle farmers in the failed Libertarian state of Argentina. Prominent Argentinian government officials are ex-bankers or Wall Street collaborators. These criminals colluded to give American money to their Wall Street side project and direct competitors of American cattle farmers.
Both sides are feeling the betrayal. And they’re beginning to direct that energy up.
Let’s just make sure Zohran Mamdani advances our interests instead of bottling them.
People don’t understand that we are beyond voting. The only solution is building our own systems outside their systems. They only have power over us because we give them power.
We will build a state where we honor the constitution, and promote the general welfare of its people instead of servants to capital.
The preamble of the constitution begins, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
The declaration of independence declares that when the government becomes tyrannical or is no longer conducive to those ends, then it is no longer a valid government.
In the absence of a legitimate government, we must begin to govern ourselves. And that means establishing the means of worker owned industry in order to sustain our future irrespective of the institutions of our former masters.
Let’s not lose sight of that in the midst of exciting displays of political theatre.

Dear Ruling Class
People often misunderstand what MAKE CEOS AFRAID AGAIN means.
It is advocacy for the end of the violence of the ruling class.
To end this violence, the ruling class must be brought to its knees.
To end this violence, the working class must recognize that the struggles that unite us are greater than the divisions that are sowed amongst us.
That starts with a message:
We the people truly have one common enemy.
Dear Ruling Class, I hope you are reading.
Because the people are united in that message.
You have become a parasite on the very soul of humanity.
You are the enemy of mankind.
You should absolutely be afraid.
You should be afraid of the wakening of the class consciousness that is seizing America.
I want you to be afraid.
I want you to be afraid of the day when we refuse to participate in your system of extortion, debt, cruelty, greed, and murder.
The people at the top are murderers. They murder people overseas and they don’t care if they’re innocent. They murdered a Colombian fisherman with an extrajudcial airstrike on Colombian waters. They profit from war. They put bounties out on elected leaders that don’t bow to capitalism.
They threaten us with a system that lets people die if they get sick.
They threaten us with medical extortion and homelessness.
They extort housing for profit.
They take every aspect of our lives and turn it into a commodity.
They’ve designed a world where you have to pay to exist.
But we recognize that we care for our neighbors. We take care of neighbors so that no one lives on the street. No one goes uncared for. No one goes without healthcare. Those are our values and they are incompatible with capitalism.
The true revolution comes when we build our own systems. Ones where mutual aid is the standard and not a wishful thought. Where community is embedded in the culture and you have expectations from your fellow man and woman. Where it’s not ok to treat people as disposable. Where every human life is treated with the dignity every human life deserves.
The true revolution comes when we build our own solar grids. When we build our own water towers. When we build our own transit. When we own our own infrastructure. When we own the manufacturing. When we own the airlines. When we own the banks.
In this new system, we will police ourselves. Your state thug gang sponsored violence is not welcome. It will be one where you can’t invade our communities and lock our brothers up because you traded in a hood for a badge.
Dear Ruling Class, we see the system of modern slavery you’ve created through the prison industry. We know you profit from mass incarceration with private prisons and kickbacks. We know about your system of justice, your love for recidivism, your competitions with your lawyer friends to lock up as many people as you can because it boosts your career. We know there’s no justice in the justice system. The justice system is designed to incarcerate, not seek the truth.
It’s designed such that the most vulnerable in our communities bear the greatest violence.
People who have only what they can carry are victims daily of this violence.
It’s violence when Gavin Newsom bulldozes encampments and takes from people all their earthly positions.
It costs more money to house an inmate than it does to house the homeless.
We have a system that drives people to homelessness and at the same time criminalizes homelessness.
The United States houses 20% of the world’s incarcerated population but makes up only 5% of the world’s population.
Dear Ruling Class, I hope you’re coming to the realization that the crimes you have committed against man and womankind for decades and decades have not gone unnoticed.
We know you knew your oil industry was killing the planet. We know you did it anyway. We know you poison our communities with toxic chemicals from your industries. We know you manufactured an opioid crisis to profit from addictions that destroy people’s lives and even takes them.
We know you committed these crimes in plain sight because your system protected you. But it won’t protect you forever. The time for accountability will come.
And to each person who spreads the message MAKE CEOS AFRAID AGAIN:
You are already part of the revolution.
We will threaten the system that gives the ruling class its dominion over man by creating a system where we value people over profit and the true criminals see true justice.
And that’s what they truly fear.
Dear Ruling Class, that’s what MAKE CEOS AFRAID AGAIN means to me. But it means different things to different people. And not everyone is as nice as me.

No War with Iran
What is starkly missing from the Iran-US war conversation is the fact that Iran has allies: Russian, China, North Korea, and Pakistan would all stand with Iran in the event of a US attack.
China imports 10% of its oil from Iran which represents 90% of Iran’s oil exports. Iran supplies Russia with drones and weapons. These countries are linked. Iran at war with the US gives these countries the opportunity to wage war against the US via a proxy state.
In addition, other countries in West Asia recognize if Iran is toppled, they are next on Israel’s list. This war would unite the region and its allies against the US.
If you haven’t heard of the Strait of Hormuz, I recommend you do some research on it. 20% of the world’s oil and 35% of the world’s liquefied natural gas pass through it daily. Approximately one-fifth to one-third of the world’s seaborne traded oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz daily.
Disruption of trade through the Strait of Hormuz by Iran would disrupt global oil supply routes, lead to economic instability due to increased oil prices, escalate geopolitical tensions and military responses, disrupt international shipping, raise energy security concerns, threaten regional stability, and prompt a global diplomatic response to address the crisis.
It would be the most cataclysmic geopolitical event in the last 75 years. China, Russia, and indeed the world have a highly vested interest in protecting this. If Iran faces an existential threat then closure of the Strait of Hormuz would be a strategic option they would consider a legitimate last resort strategy.
This incentivizes Russia and China to intervene in the war to prevent this option at all costs. It is far more dangerous than Iran acquiring nuclear weapons.
If reason prevails, this war will be prevented. If not, the risk of this nightmare scenario will become very real. If it does occur, the alliance between US opposition countries will redefine the world order. The U.S. hegemony will collapse entirely, and there is a real chance the U.S. would face a crisis like it’s never faced before. Indeed, an attack on Iran by the U.S. would be the beginning of the end of the American empire itself and the end of the West’s domination on the world stage.
The collapse would cause the U.S. dollar to lose its status as the global reserve currency. The national debt incurred by the U.S. as a result of the borrowing required to sustain a war with Iran would result in the highest interest rates the U.S. has ever seen. It will be impossible to repay them. Without reserve currency status and insurmountable debt, the U.S. would lose its economic soft power. It would be unable to use sanctions to impose its will on other countries. It would be unable to sink other countries into debt by issuing extortionate loans to the poorest countries on Earth. It would be unable to send corporations to plunder these country’s natural resources and hold them hostage via these loans.
The costs of war with Iran are far too great for the U.S., though it may not seem obvious to most. It would spell the end of the American empire. It would cost millions of lives, trillions in spending, and trillions in infrastructure destruction. It would last years and years. It would take decades to rebuild. It would leave the middle east in chaos and turmoil. Iran will not be easily decapitated, and it has very powerful allies that already seek the end of the American empire.
To wit, Iran is a country that has had practically 75 years of peace to prepare for such a conflict. It has sustained existential threats from the West for these same 75 years. It has used this peace to stockpile weapons. Unlike Russia, it is not dependent of a network of global trade to manufacture its own weapons. It is capable of manufacturing everything it needs to wage war itself. U.S. sanctions have made this possible by making it impossible for Iran to do so via global trade.
It has witnessed U.S. brutality, war, and regime changes in Yemen, Sudan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, and Libya. It has witnessed the U.S. economically impose its will on Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Jordan. It recognizes what will happen if it does not use every method at its disposal to defend itself from an attack from the U.S. It will not hold back.
They want you to believe Iran is a global enemy of humanity. They tell you how Iranians chant “death to Israel” and “death to America”. But is it hard to understand why? America has not declared war since WWII. Yet the U.S. has bombed 31 countries since. This represents one-third of the world’s population.
The US has been involved in clandestine regime change in 25 countries in this period: Afghanistan, Bosnia, Cambodia, China, Congo, Cuba, El Salvador, Korea, Guatemala, Indonesia, Laos, Grenada, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Palestine, Panama, Peru, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Vietnam, Yemen, and Yugoslavia.
It is estimated over one million Arabs died in the Global War on Terror in the most conservative estimate. The number of combatants in this figure ranges from twenty thousand to thirty thousand. Nearly all of these one million dead represent civilian deaths.
Over 10 million Arabs were displaced as a result of the Global War on Terror, leading to significant humanitarian crises and challenges for individuals and families in the affected regions.
Last week, on the eve of reaching a second Nuclear nonproliferation agreement between the U.S. and Iran, the U.S. covertly allowed its proxy state of Israel to launch an unprovoked surprise attack on Iran. The U.S is complicit in this strike. The U.S. has furnished Israel with over $300 billion dollars in military aid since Israel’s inception. The American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, a foreign government lobbying group, spent $57 million in the 2024 U.S. elections cycle alone, according to the U.S. FEC government agency.
Now the U.S. tells Iran it must surrender its nuclear program in exchange for peace. In what world would Iran believe this promise? The U.S. has no credibility on the world stage. There is no promise the U.S. can be expected to keep.
How could one not expect Iranians to chant “death to Israel” and “death to America” under these circumstances. The world has sustained terrorist attacks globally from the U.S. for almost a century. The U.S. has been engaged in war 222 out of its 249 years of existence. Israel has attacked all four of its neighboring countries; it has attacked countries it does not neighbor. Israel is a country born out of violence, massacre, and expulsion. It massacred thousands of Palestinians and expelled 750,000 indigenous people in the course of its “war of independence” otherwise known by Palestinians as the nakba. Iran has not attacked a neighbor without provocation in over 200 years.
Ask yourself who is truly the greatest threat to world peace? What regime is truly responsible for the greatest feats of terror known to mankind?
Iran has never had a greater cause for Iran to develop nuclear weapons than in this moment. This attack by Israel has only demonstrated the need. If anything, Iran will work to develop nuclear weapons faster than ever before. Now under threat from the world’s most powerful military, what choice do they have?
The United States spends more on its military than the next 9 highest-spending countries combined. The United States has military bases in approximately 80 countries around the world. The total number of military bases outside its borders is estimated to be around 800. Iran itself is surrounded by U.S. military bases.
It is irrefutable that the U.S., not Iran, is the enemy of humanity. It is unmistakable that a war with Iran would be the most disastrous foreign policy mistake the U.S. has ever made. It is undeniable that Israel is a rogue terrorist state.
The U.S. must not go to war with Iran. If it does, it will be the end of the U.S. as we know it. Perhaps that is a good thing. But the geopolitical, economic, structural, and human toll is far too great.
It is all our duty to resist this war. Resist the propaganda that justifies it. Resist the consent the Zionist media and political establishment will attempt to manufacture.
Understand the stakes have never been higher. Iran is not our enemy. In the eyes of humanity, the enemy is Israel and the U.S. It is high time we as Americans understand this and work to dismantle this fascist regime from the inside, by any means available to us.
The time for action is now.

They want you to think we don't have the numbers
On April 5th, the “Hands Off” protest garnered 3 to 5 million demonstrators across the entire nation.
That is the largest demonstration in the nation since the 2017 Women’s Rights march, which landed at 5.6 million for the high estimate. To find the next protest that rivaled “Hands Off”, you have to go back 39 years to 1986 for the “Hands Across America” national protest against poverty; which clocked a cool 5 million.
5 million is substantial. The movement is only growing. There is a non-zero chance we could mobilize 11 million people to direct action. That is 3.5% of the US population-- and also the notorious percentage historians regard as the amount of people required to enact material change.
Don’t let them tell you how many of us there are. We’re many more than may seem.
The mobilization is happening. The people are rising up. We all must join the cause. The time is now. We have the numbers.

Time for new leadership
The Democratic leadership of the so called “left-wing” of the U.S. Empire has been failing the working class since Clinton. Politicians are bought out by special interests, beholden only to their donors, and hold contempt in their hearts for their true constituents.
Enough is enough. It’s time to abandon these ineffective democrats. DNC Vice Chair David Hogg now has a PAC called Leaders We Deserve which aims to fund primary challenger campaigns in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections to the tune of $20 million.
That’s a good start, but don’t rely on politicians to save you. Democrats won’t save you. We have to save ourselves.
That is the principal of negotiations. We need to organize effectively, identify our leverage, and use it to bring the 1% to the negotiating table. If they aren’t willing to meet us there, then we will protest, walk out, boycott and strike until we force them to the table.
They do not produce the wealth in this country–we do–and it’s about time we take back control.
Every one of us is a leader, yourself included. If you are part of this community, then you are one of our negotiators. Welcome to the united 99%.
