"Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."
Screencap from article reads: `So there is no negotiation to do. There is no yielding of anything to it in the hope that the cancer will be satisfied with whatever has been sacrificed. No appeasement of cancer is possible, because its appetite is insatiable. It will take whatever it wants if not stopped. There is no honor to appeal to, no conscience or even logical intelligence to convince to end its rampage. It doesn’t care about the worth of what it is working to kill, or how many will suffer from its loss. There is nothing to be reasoned with. Cancer just doesn’t care.`
Screenshot of article with text: “That is how empires tend to fall. Either they are defeated in battle, and are conquered or collapse, or they suffer a succession crisis and fall apart (both often enabled by corruption and mismanagement). Or they are simply eclipsed by another power, as happened when the British Empire fell short and the U.S. succeeded it. President Trump, by contrast, was handed an empire in splendid condition. The core alliance of NATO was stronger than it had been in decades, as Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine pushed Sweden and Finland to join. Thanks to President Biden's policies, the American economy was the envy of the world, with a post-pandemic recovery that outstripped any peer nation. The dollar was still by far the most important reserve currency, and the U.S. still had control over global financial pipelines. No serious threats were on the horizon, either. In its war with Ukraine, Russia has burned through most of its gigantic stockpile of Soviet-era military hard Privacy - Terms taken nerhans on nnu estalties and”
