They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn. We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn That the union makes us strong.

People are willing to waste their entire lives working for someone else, why won't they work on representing themselves?

Which is exactly the problem. Mobilizing this power is next to impossible. Its easier to herd a flock of cats

Its why propaganda is such a big thing, its the rich mobilizing said power to destroy itself with a smile on it's face

Unfortunately, the working class doesn't seem to understand "we."

Unfortunately the working class in America right now seems to be made up of a significant number of morons.

If only there was a movie about this... A movie where they make and sell soap... His name is Paul Robinson. His name is Paul Robinson. His name is Paul Robinson. A movie where the main character only sleeps one hour a day. A movie about 1 person. A movie about 2 people. A good movie. A movie where everything is just a copy, of a copy, of a copy.

It's heart breaking when I ask my friends if they've seen Fight Club and no one has ever seen it.

We have to stop feeding the monsters.

I thought this was a left-handed meme at first. Took me a second.

Once that enormous power is replaced, nothing can stop the wealth class.

This is the reason why the rich are so fascinated by AI: the hope to take this power away from the people.

Drones and robots can. Grant didn't see far ahead in fascist realization of the ultimate loyal slaves. Now proles have to face a loyal vanguard that will never betray the bourgeoisie.
Some are even marrying them as I type.

The thing everyone forgets is that there is practically nothing that will move the working class. There is this idea that if everyone just banded together and fought for better rights, everything would be better. But that's about as feasible as all cows banding together for better rights. It's just not something that is going to happen. There is nothing that will mobilize the working class. Nothing.

Individual humans can be intelligent, insightful, and can be convinced to take up a cause and work towards something greater than themselves. Humans as a large group though? Idiots. Fucking idiots. Literally no better than crabs in a bucket.

That's the problem. Any plan for change that involves the working class rising up and seizing control is a plan that is doomed to failure. Because the working class will never rise up and seize control. Ever. People have to be dragged kicking and screaming toward change, or tricked into accepting it. Those that think mobilization of the working class is a possibility have a fundamental failure in the understanding of human sociology.
