75. Poverty is Warfare. The Spanish had a phrase for it that went something like,

The war of the day or the war of the night, they are both war.

Meaning, they war with us by taking from us in the times we call peace, and killing us in battles to protect their takings in the times we call war.

This war is old and never over. Here is radio cast that starts slow, but is almost all Parenti. What he's saying is clear and easy to understand, stated very simply:

Michael Parenti - No War But the Class War

Part 1:

Part 2:

Whether we agree with his conclusions or not, since he's a socialist, he's got it right. We shouldn't run from what they're doing. He says on another video:

Michael Parenti - Creating The Poor?

"To oppose the policies of a government does not mean you are against the country or the people that the government supposedly represents. Such opposition should be called what it really is: democracy, or democratic dissent, or having a critical perspective about what your leaders are doing. Either we have the right to democratic dissent and criticism of these policies or we all lie down and let the leader, the Fuhrer, do what is best, while we follow uncritically, and obey whatever he commands. That's just what the Germans did with Hitler, and look where it got them."

The Republicans are dragging us down this path and we must resist in every election, from the town dogcatcher, school board, every agency and city, county, state and up.
