Guilty.

Although it seems like the tasks of daily living, self care, home care, family care, local issues, take all my time.

But I am an activist at heart.

My weakness is the focus on negativity...the "removal". Can it be reframed as "put the people back in power"..or "power to the people" as the headline or mission? Maybe I'm not radical enough...

I emphasize "removal" (remove the rich from power) because when it comes to anti-establishment efforts history shows that whatever people do not explicitly aim for, they do not win. If people do not explicitly aim to remove the rich from power then they will not remove the rich from power. Please see my article about this at https://www.pdrboston.org/let-s-get-off-the-treadmill-of-defeat .

Please also read what I have written about what, exactly, it means to remove the rich from power, at https://www.pdrboston.org/who-are-the-rich-to-remove-from-power.

Here's how it may be possible to actually remove the rich from power: https://www.pdrboston.org/how-we-can-remove-the-rich-from-power.

What do you think of all this?
