Winston Churchill was a revered national leader.
He had led the United Kingdom,
the British Empire
to victory in World War II.
But when the war was over he wanted to return England to the pre-war
business-as-usual.
The business-as-usual of everything being about the dirty, stinking rich
and their accumulation of more weath,
about their privilege,
entitlement.
The business-as-usual of the vast majority of the English people
struggling to make rent
struggling to get medical care
struggling to exist.
The English people weren’t having it.
They had sacrificed.
They had suffered
– horribly.
There was a general elections less than two months after the end of World War II in Europe.
In a landslide
Churchill and the Conservative Party was swept from office.
Clement Attlee and the Labour Party became the new reality.
During their campaign they had reminded the English people
of what happened when the veterans of World War I returned.
They had been greeted with
massive unemployment,
homelessness,
limited access to
health care,
destitution.
Attlee and the Labour Party promised that would not be
the way it was going to be
for the returning veterans of World War II.
Attlee and the Labour Party gave the British
RADICAL SOCIAL REFORM.
Its happening now in the United States of America.
Donnie P.P. Pussygrabber
and the G.O.P./KKK
are trying to return to the
pre-pandemic
business-as-usual,
the run-away kleptocracy,
of the dirty, stinking rich getting everything
and everybody else getting the crumbs from their table.
In this pandemic
the masters of this world are revealed
in all their
greedy,
grasping,
mean spirit-ness.
They are
already
using billions
and billions
of tax-payers dollars
to bail-out corporations,
to bail-out the oil industry.
When banks begin to fail
-again
it will be all about bailing-out the banks,
as it was in 2008.
The G.O.P./KKK are resisting the bail-out of hospitals,
assisting
medical
and emergency workers
on the front line.
Bailing out
state
and municipal governments,
bailing-out
the people.
They want to return to the business-as-usual
of poor people being much more likely to get sick,
not receiving proper medical care
and dying.
They want to continue the business-of-usual
of people working three shitty jobs
and living in their car.
The business-of-usual
of the vast majority of the American people
being a paycheck away
from homelessness
destitution.
But the American people are not having it.
The American people are making huge sacrifices,
They are suffering
– horribly.
Many more are dead
than would be dead
if we had a competent president.
Many more will die,
than would have died
if we had a competent president
who doesn’t give a fuck
how many will die
as long
as him
and his billionaire buddies.
can get back to the
business-as-usual
of making money.
People who are not particularly vulnerable to covid-19,
are locked down
to protect people who are more vulnerable.
For the most part
the people
are responding
with generosity
and compassion.
They are being radicalized.
Bernie Sanders
will not be
the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate.
And yet,
his agenda will prevail.
There will be
RADICAL SOCIAL REFORM
there will be a
NEW – NEW DEAL.
The second wave coming in the fall may be much worse. Hard to knowwhat will happen if a million people die.
