"...it is all the more clear what we have to accomplish at present: I am referring to ruthless criticism of all that exists,"
re : lobbying. they win at that. the non-wealthy mostly walk around stunned in their routines. when it gets bad enough, they wake up. then they have the numbers.
we're better off with some kind of balance in between. right now, i'd argue that the balance is tipped to those with money, but not unstably so. a big part of the reason is readily available food, entertainment, and access to health care for the very poor.
Wait, you're telling me to keep a balance, we need to help the poor and make sure people have food, healthcare? Socialist. (Seriously though, this makes sense, I've never thought of it like this) But unfortunately, money is linked to power, corporations control the most watched media by the voters, money controls advertisements run.. I wouldn't call it balanced.
Great vid on this, if you have time to watch.
