A perceptive analysis. But there is one avenue left of resistance that billionaires and their bought-out governments cannot do anything about. The revolution begins in your wallet: stop buying so much stuff! Every dollar they suck up began as a dollar someone, somewhere, chose to spend. But in many cases, that person had other options:(1) buy from local merchants and producers, rather than from big-box "name-brand" shopping centers such as Walmart'; (2) stop watching commercial television altogether, since it is nothing but 24/7 corporate brainwashing through advertisement and politics as entertainment; (3) most important, learn how to grow gardens, grow community, and grow awareness so we can all, incrementally but persistently, reduce and finally eliminate our dependence on Glomart (the Global Market Economy, that is, which created and sustains the billionaire class).
