Crony capitalists and crooked politicians control the state and use it to extract wealth from those who create it.
We’re told their power is based on rules, when really it’s based on force.
Wages are stagnant, poverty is rising and people are demanding change.
But the powerful are giving them more of the same - corporate welfare, austerity and tax cuts for the rich.
They may control the state, Parliament, the Prime Minister, and even the Queen - but that’s not where real power lies.
Real power lies with the people. If we want a real democracy, it’s up to us to build one.
