And why was #RasBaraka there in the first place? Turns out the #private #prison facility is violating the #law, but also unwilling to be served with #legal process.
The #CIA created pamphlets & posters proclaiming that #Mossadegh was a #communist, an enemy of #Islam. They paid off #journalists to write that he was a Jew. The CIA hired gangsters to pretend to be #Tudeh Party members & attack a #mosque.
Fascism isn't "coming". It's not "on its way". It's here.

We desperately need an ideological transformation where stuff like that is seen as absurd. Unfortunately I think for something like that ideology to be sustained our #economy needs to change & #capitalists can’t be in control of all ideological apparatuses
The thing about American #capitalism is in the same store I saw 5 different brands of dog ice cream (ice cream for dogs) & a #homeless man eating a loaf of bread quickly in the store before he gets caught.
#Capitalism didn't give us the #internet.
Large-scale #cooperation, open #protocols, and free #software gave us the internet. Capitalism gave us mobile sites that don't work because fifteen ads cover the screen.

The system isn’t broken. It’s functioning exactly as intended: to consolidate #wealth into fewer & fewer hands while keeping the #workingclass exhausted, too tired to fight back, & taught to blame themselves. #Capitalism
