    Lmmfao, yeah good luck with that… (hint: the people who own those companies also own the government who makes the laws, there is no reforming capitalism, it’s designed that way)

        Genocide is happening right now in the current system. Some learned from past mistakes some didn’t. We can do better either way.

      They own the people in government, not the government itself. Change the people, change the ownership.

      The trick is you have to start small, cause the ones in the bigger positions rely on the small ones to maintain their power.

        The problem is that to obtain those big pistons, you need the financial backing of those big companies. So eventually as an honest politician climbs the ladder, he has to sell out, or fizzle out. You can’t win federal elections without PAC money.

          Until you hit critical mass on those small politicians, and they change the playing field. The problem is seeing them only as stepping stones on the way to greatness, and not as a power in their own right.
