In reply to the discussion: The Great Suppression [View all]fasttense
(17,301 posts)15. A great description of our current society
The Great Suppression. Well put.
I would add they are suppressing democracy. The lazy rich have created working environments where bosses and CEOs rule like kings and stock holder rule like lords. While workers are serfs to be discarded and allowed to starve and/or freeze to death as soon as they are deemed too old.
We need to put democracy into the work place. Rise up against bosses, CEOs and broads of directors. They can't make all those profits from your labor if you refuse to do the work.
