I'm Going to Ask You NOT to Send Me Money and NOT to Vote for Me. How Come? Because that's NOT the Way to Make a Better World, Duh!

Read what I am going to ask you to do.

I’m going to ask you to ask a random person in your local community—maybe the person in line with you to get the bus, or the person ringing up your groceries, or a person on the sidewalk where you happen to be, or the person delivering a package to your residence, etc.—this question: “Do you think it would be a good idea or a bad idea if we removed the rich from power to have real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor?”

Exactly those words.

It’s easy to do this! I’ve done it literally thousands of times.

Do not ask them if they think we should have socialism, or communism, or this party or that party in power. That’s an entirely different question, and not at all the important one.

Why am I asking you to do this?

Because, based on my own personal experience, the vast majority of people will answer the question by saying it is a good—or a great!—idea. In other words most people have an egalitarian revolutionary aspiration. And I want YOU to know this fact, so you will have more confidence to take seriously the idea of doing things to build the egalitarian revolutionary movement. Absent this first hand directly experienced knowledge, you will very likely think it is foolish to try to build such a revolutionary movement because hardly anybody would join it. Right?

But it’s impossible….?

Of course it is also true that almost without exception the people who say the idea of removing the rich from power, etc., is a good idea also say it is impossible. They say it is impossible (ask them yourself and you’ll see) because hardly anybody ELSE wants it to happen. So be sure not to conflate the “Is it a good idea'‘ and “Is it possible” questions; they are very different questions!

Almost everybody (I bet including you, too) thinks that most people are against an egalitarian revolution. They have this wrong belief because they never see any expression of the egalitarian revolutionary aspiration anywhere, by anybody. They don’t see it in the mass media, nor the alternative media because the ruling class censors it there. They don’t hear people saying it because people are afraid that if they did express this egalitarian aspiration then other people would react with hostility, so it’s safer to keep one’s thoughts to oneself in this regard.

Here’s what is likely to happen if you ask somebody this question.

Watch this video of 68 random people on the streets of Boston answering this question:

Go here to see photos of 500 of my Zip Code neighbors expressing their egalitarian revolutionary aspiration. Zoom in on any photo to read the sign they are all holding. Note that I did not have to persuade any of these people to agree with the sign they are holding; they agreed with it as soon as I showed it to them and asked them to pose for the photo.

Read here about how lots of other people have said Yes to this egalitarian revolutionary aspiration, including most people (86%) at a pro-Trump rally and most people in a conservative rural New Hampshire town.

But can it actually work?

Some people (in my experience, very few, but some) say egalitarian revolution is a bad idea because it can’t work, that it would make things worse. If they say this because they think the economy wouldn’t work, I tell them that in half of Spain in 1936-9 it made the economy more, not less, productive, as described in detail here. If they say this because they think it would mean we’d have less democracy than now, then I explain that it means having genuine democracy as described here. If they say it because they know how ugly it was (is) in Communist countries, then I explain that egalitarianism is anti-Marxist, as discussed here and here.

Are you game?

Read here how doing what I ask is a way to implement a strategy than can in fact lead to removing the rich from power. Please don’t tell me you are afraid to do this, and you’d rather just send me some money, OK. :)

But wait, there’s more!

If you’d like me to postal mail you some free stickers with the “Let’s remove the rich from power…etc” words just like the image above, so you can show it to a neighbor and simply ask them, “Do you think this message is a good or a bad idea?” then send me an email at spritzler@comcast.net with “stickers” in the subject line and include in the message your postal address, and I will send you some free stickers.
