How You Can Take Trillions From War Criminals and the Corporations Dismantling Democracy

 I think the above article bears wider distribution. It's at https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/how-you-can-take-trillions-from-war?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=5818316&post_id=194697718&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=ndl57&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email


David Lewis, father of Stephen Lewis, who died last month, would have strongly endorsed this article even though it concerns U.S. funding of criminal enterprises. David once wrote: "The modern democratic socialist should proclaim his or her aims loudly and passionately. The equality of men and women is the socialist watchword; the moral struggle against injustice and inequality is the socialist's duty; to be a strong and powerful voice for the common men and women against the abuse and oppression of the privileged minority is the socialist's  function; and to forge an ever finer and higher standard of values and a richer pattern of life and behaviour is the socialist's dream."

Christopher Armitage explores what we together must act to change if we are to take on the abuses of the privileged minority in our politics.

As you know, I am no more a Marxist than was Karl Marx.  I think he could have written what David Lewis wrote as his own political aims. Obviously, it's a large part of my Credo.
