Hi ,
In his famous book, _Capital_, Karl Marx drew the connection between
capitalism and vampires. He wrote that capitalism "only lives sucking
living labor and lives the more, the more labor it sucks."
Look around you.
The vampires of the top 1% continue to feed and are allowed to do so
without hesitation or restraint.
They feed off of the workers and, in return, offer wages that are well
below the ever-increasing cost of living.
They feed off of the planet with endless drilling for oil and perpetual
wars. In the midst of a full-blown climate crisis, they refuse to admit
their fault in causing irreversible damage to our planet.
They adamantly fight against a system that provides healthcare for all as
they continue to put profits over the value of life.
Just like the vampires in legends, the 1% will not stop feeding until all
that is left of their victim is a dry husk.
_BUT THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS!_
You see, the vampires of legend had specific rules that they had to abide
by and certain traits that would reveal their true nature. When the
townspeople knew these rules and traits, they were able to protect
themselves from the vampires.
Consider this:
VAMPIRES COULD ONLY ENTER A HOME IF THEY WERE INVITED IN.
The capitalist system exists by being built on the back of workers. Workers
are taught and trained to keep their heads down and be thankful for what
they are given.
In this way, workers continue to invite the current vampiric system into
our homes by not demanding accountability and fairness. We allow
politicians to compromise our needs to the point that what we DO get is
nothing close to what we told the politicians we need.
Drawing a line in the sand and demanding that corporations pay their fair
share of taxes, demanding Medicare for all, and demanding a living wage is
the first step towards keeping the vampires away.
THEY HAD NO REFLECTION WHEN THEY LOOKED INTO A MIRROR.
It is almost impossible to believe the level of blatant hypocrisy that is
being normalized.
We have an administration that lies constantly. Then the administration
lies about lying only to then lie about lying about lying.
Donald Trump disbanded the White House pandemic office only to later deny
his involvement as COVID-19 spread across the country. He dedicated his
time to spreading dangerous misinformation about the virus. Meanwhile,
hard-working people finding themselves with no income have had no choice
but to watch in horror as the bills begin to pile up even higher and they
are receiving no aid from the system that is supposed to protect them.
Trump claimed in 2016 that he would be working so hard for the people that
he wouldn't have time to play golf. However, he has spent over 2300 hours
golfing at the expense of the taxpayers. This golf tab is at over
$133,000,000 and it continues to rise.
How much of a hypocrite does someone have to be to be incapable of seeing
their reflection in a mirror? Anybody else would be ashamed of what they
see.
THEY HAD THE SUPERNATURAL ABILITY TO CHARM OTHERS.
The Trump administration's incompetence will go down in history as one of
the darkest times in our nation's history. They have wasted no time in
finding ways to continue to support corporate interests at the expense of
the working class. The disregard for our people, our allies, and our planet
is enough to make someone sick.
But so many people still insist on voting against their own interests by
supporting him. It is as if these people are under a spell that prevents
them from seeing how little this administration cares about them and just
how much worse the problems are becoming.
We need people to stop making excuses for the man who is dedicating every
moment of his presidency to undermining the needs of the people.
GARLIC WOULD DRIVE A VAMPIRE AWAY AND PROTECT THE WEARER.
Apparently, there isn't garlic in a Big Mac.
BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS…
We are not going to succeed by attempting to reason with this vampire of a
system.
IT CAN’T BE DONE.
The ONLY way that the working class is going to have their needs met is
with an Ecosocialist Green New Deal. We cannot continue to allow our people
and our planet to be victimized by a parasitic system that doesn't care
about the 99%.
TOGETHER, we can drive a stake through the heart of this system.
We're calling on you to help us.
Every donation to this campaign gets us closer to qualifying for matching
funds from the FEC.
With that, we want to ask you…
WILL YOU DONATE $27 TO STOP THE GREATEST THREAT OF OUR TIME AND MAKE THE
ECOSOCIALIST GREEN NEW DEAL A REALITY?
