    It doesnt mean the right is more organized, it means the socioeconomic power structures favor right wing policies that work to dismantle what power the working class has ever managed to grasp.

    That’s not an accident. It’s also not a natural phenomenon. It is deliberate. That’s what makes it “organized”. Generations of intentional effort have gone into building and maintaining it.

    Capitalism is the root of the problem, and capital simply will not incrementally cede it’s power away to The People through the mechanisms built to preserve said power.

    “Capitalism” is not a conscious entity. “Capitalism” doesn’t “do” any of those things. People do. We choose the systems we live by. The problem is that some people have taken the time and made the effort to commandeer those systems for their own benefit, by exploiting the rest of us.

    That doesn’t make us helpless. Collective action gives us power. We just need to use it.
