It's important to know what exactly the "sleeping 80%" need to be woken up to know. It is not that we live in a dictatorship of the rich, nor is it that the rich treat us like dirt, nor is it that it would be wonderful if there were a revolution to remove the rich from power to have real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor. People ALREADY know all of these things. What they do NOT know is that in having this revolutionary aspiration (to remove the rich from power, etc.) they are not alone but actually the vast majority. And it is for lack of knowing this that they do not have the confidence to DECIDE TO REMOVE THE RICH FROM POWER. I learned this key point in 1969 as I wrote about at https://www.pdrboston.org/what-causes-a-political-sea-change .
Good argument with key citations; I will share this with others interested in this theme.
Thank you!
Well spoken John. First before any action, the sleeping 80% need to be woken up.
