revolution right now.
Mass economic resistance by the 99% is a the only form of protest and direct action that can effectively strip the plutocrats of their position and power over us. We are their milk cows, and if we don't allow them to them milk us, we starve them.
A massive general strike, boycott, moratorium on paying bills, etc, and simply staying home and doing nothing, is the only plausible method I can think of that can remove the plutocrats from power. The cops cannot brutalize us with impunity if we are simply staying in our houses not working or buying anything, These types of actions on a mass scale would either lead to an opportunity for negotiation, or we will cause the markets to permanently collapse. Billionaires will lose billions in a matter of days or weeks. They can't imprison us if we refuse to work, buy things, or pay bills.
Yet.
If we do nothing, or rely on this political system that they totally own to make the changes necessary for our comfortable survival, we will lose everything, and end up living in a box by river until they decide it is time to euthanize those of us they haven't starved to death.
The current system will inevitably lead to "Elysium" on earth. This is the logical progression of the current political and economic processes, unless we kick the 1% to the curb, take over the factors and means of production, and begin to govern ourselves in a way that supports life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for everyone.
