    How can you own and control if you have to ask that question?

    Working people cannot organize themselves. If they could, the majority would not be stuck on Reddit, Facebook or X.

    Of course it’s frustrating but how could one overcome those limits?

      Working people cannot organize themselves en masse because the ruling class actively prevents it.

      Clearly, the working class is capable of organizing, otherwise unions wouldn’t exist.

      Often when people start getting too successful at organizing the working class, they get murdered for it.

        Working is usually a big part. Distance is another. Police state…we’re on the edge.

            The distance is definitely. Without the federal ties, even in the colonial days each region was its own country and actions due to distance. The rest is fundamental now because that’s how it’s been set up over decades, both for profitability and for control. Sometimes they give a bit to give the image of change, and that settles the public down for a while.
