Electoral fraud: the illusion of democracy
Real democracy would involve the localisation of decision-making, the end of global corporate imperialism and the restoration to communities everywhere of the right to shape their own destinies.
Wars, resets and the global criminocracy
After both world wars, the idea of a “post-war” reality, to which people had to adapt, was used to ramp up industrialism and modernity, destroying traditional agriculture and communities and declaring old ways of thinking and living as being unsuited to the brave new normal.

Growing awareness of the nature of the ruling mafia also brings us deeper understanding of what our resistance represents and what is at stake.
Power and corruption: the public-private imperial mafia

Revolution From Below (Revolutionary Aristotelianism Part 6)
Revolutions become possible only when enough members of some political society are not only able to imagine such alternatives, but are prepared to participate in realising them in order to achieve their common good.
