Fine observations Muzzle. While I find a number of points debatable, one point for me at least is indisputable.
we need to take back control of the government and prevent corporations from usurping everything.

Hahahaha, I was clapping and laughing, you wrote such a good story there.
Love the way you characterized it.
The "heroes" are basically like Baron Zemo's Thunderbolts, they were actually villains pretending to be heroes to succeed in a treacherous plot while having public support.

My goal here was to shift the discussion into more rational realms of thought.
To be clear, the council never lived up to its potential for delivering policies that lift up working families. In fact, we were never called to a single official meeting, even though it comprised some of the world’s top business and labor leaders.
An old English judge once said: 'Necessitous men are not free men.' Liberty requires opportunity to make a living - a living decent according to the standard of the time, a living which gives man not only enough to live by, but something to live for.
For too many of us the political equality we once had won was meaningless in the face of economic inequality. A small group had concentrated into their own hands an almost complete control over other people's property, other people's money, other people's labor - other people's lives. For too many of us life was no longer free; liberty no longer real; men could no longer follow the pursuit of happiness.
Against economic tyranny such as this, the American citizen could appeal only to the organized power of government.
Yeah, the council was never interested in passing government policies that would reduce their own wealth and privilege. This country as been moving further and further to the right since Ronald Reagan. Everyone says we have communism but it's not true. Take Hillary Clinton for example. She worked on Barry Goldwater's political campaigns when she was in college. She's not a Democrat.
People are fighting each other over skin color - that solves NOTHING. Divide and Conquer. Problem Reaction Solution. We are Sheep until we stand up and become Lions.
part of the problem is that the people have gotten use to the idea that they should have the right to stick their nose into things that don't concern them....
So really Charlottesville didn't happen because of Dem v. Rep, or BLM Antifa SJW v. KKK Nazi Alt-Right.
