@socraticway: Replying to @Ever Apologies 😆 Tagging the book here so that TT shows you this video and also in case you want to pick up a copy and support an independent bookseller or publisher/distributor or the primary publisher of the book instead of AMZN (who is driving book prices down so low that authors make less per book). If you’d rather not purchase a copy, then I’d encourage you to check it out from your local library for free. Either way, it’s worth reading. #BookRecommendations #BookTok #BookRecs #bestbooks #booktokpages Also, consider giving me a follow if you like content centered on philosophy, politics, history, and culture.
Bernie is not at the bottom. He's a white guy from Brooklyn. He's been in office for over 30 years. What are his accomplishments? How has Vermont benefited from him?

Learning that Ceasar and Nero are the most demonized Roman leaders due to this was extremely eye opening for me

When you’ve been in Congress for 35 years, you *are* establishment.

It's a challenging dynamic that the power to make change requires a level of power that itself grows more difficult to trust.

The party needs corporate campaign donations. Policies that help citizens hurts those same corporation profits. The party doesn't want to risk losing donations. Bernie pushes for things that poll very well: Rasing the minimum wage, taxing the rich, universal health care, lifting the cap on Social Security.

This is something I learned from Foucault. Whenever something seems to make no sense, figure out a way in which it makes perfect sense.

Always ask- who benefits? In a capitalist society someone has to lose so the leaders win

The most infuriating are the people at the bottom who buy the lies that they will some someday be the boot instead of the neck.

my biggest complaint on Bernie is.. where tf were you when George W was lying about WMD? when Clinton was fighting impeachment why didn't he run back then?? then out of nowhere at 79yrs old he pops out making great points but, we can't use you right now

or it could that he was planning to install himself as dictator...ever think politicians will say stuff like communism is good to get elected and bring it up every election? Yet, they will enrich themselves, won't do it? PS you know the ironic thing about JC? All his death did was create a civil war where his nephew...keyword there is nephew...took over as emporer and destroyed the republic.

I remember when Bernie was anti open boarder because of the impact it had on low wage jobs and housing. He now is a multimillionaire millionaire with three houses so maybe that is what changed.

Greed is at the root of it all and the wealthy and powerful are going to do everything they can to stay that way. To have no desire for more than you need is true power, true wealth.

The people at the bottom are too distracted and/or ignorant to see their role in empowering the very people who keep them down.

I was in a political science class with only 15 students and Michael Parenti came and yelled at us for an hour. Pretty cool memory. 😅
