A very dangerous and radical manifesto--Part I--DKos
For if the citizenry were to unite, beyond superficial social and political ideologies, with the common goal of improving their lot, there would be such a radical shift of balance of powers in society, that the Oligarchy running the U.S. government now would be removed, and replaced with a true democratic system of government.

There is nothing that would send the corporate media conglomerates, and the corporatist public relations firms and think tanks into overdrive faster than an inkling that the citizenry has caught up to their manipulative and exploitative ways. Here I will describe an easy-to-follow manifesto on how to do just that. It is up to the reader to decide if she wants to continue living in an increasingly oppressive and exploitative society, or if she wants to do something about it.

2. Ugh
More utopian "U canz make uz difrancez!" bullshit.
I can see it now:
Citizen: We are on to you now suckaz!
Oligarchy: What are you going to do, VOTE?
Citizen: Yeah, and write letters, and make phone calls. I'm sure I can organize like thousands of people.
Oligarchy: Uh, huh.
(Three years lapse)
Group of 12 citizens: We are on to you now suckaz!
...
It'll never go away or change, get used to it.
