Sometime in the future - when those beings who inherit the planet after all living beings have been destroyed due to climate change - an explanation will be needed as to how it all happened.

And it can be summed up by two right-wing groups of people in society.

Those that are truly crazy and are in positions of power with ability to do great violence, destruction of everyone and everything around them; including themselves (perhaps not coincidentally, unlike cancer).

And then there those who also serve in positions of power who pretend to do something about it, and do nothing.

You have surrendered whatever limited ‘neutral’ function the state had in the class struggle between capitalists and workers. The oligarchy now runs the state, with regulations set to a minimum and worker rights set to near zero.

You have watched as the oligarchy has set fire to society, breaking up the old factories, sending the machines to countries where labour is cheaper, and making money off the factory land through speculation. There are no jobs left in the wasteland, only servile jobs to tend to the whims of the oligarchy and uberised jobs to provide mediocre quality services to each other.

You have urged the compromised state to cut taxes and reduce its social services at the same time as unemployment and poverty have increased. Old liberal ideas of helping the less fortunate have dissolved in the acid of individualism and personal ambition, the money that used to be spent on social welfare now vaporised into the financial markets for the oligarchs’ race to become the first trillionaire. What would have been recycled through the tax system is now mired in the casino-like money markets, the whoops and razzle of the monied concealing the howls of the poor.
