#classwar #elites #uspol #ukpol Good to see Bernie Saunders calling it as it is. Equally true in the #uk where the #haves 10% have #90% of the #national #wealth and the #havenots scratch by on what's left. For #paycheck to paycheck read #benefit day to benefit day. Screw the bastards to the wall.

"There is nothing inherently wrong with elites. The problem is simply that ours have failed us. Conservatism, in its truest and most dignified form, has never been anti-elitist. It’s anti-revolutionary. It distrusts mob rule not because it holds the people in contempt, but because it understands human nature too well to entrust civilization to the whims of the masses. That’s not cynicism, it’s wisdom."

BBC invites TV #elites to a posh #dining room to discuss how to fend off US streamers—because nothing says "we're in touch with reality" like cocktails at Fitzrovia. Meanwhile, the world wonders if British TV's survival plan involves more wartime dramas or just praying Downton Abbey never ends.

@JackTheCat Give me strength. She knew, I for one told her. She doesn't reply to emails from #ThePembrokePapers . The #elites in #Wales are just as shitty as the #elites in #Engerland . She can #FO to the same place as #LINO

I see with sadness the division among people. They choose #left or #right without realizing that the same #elites are running things. Since we are all #human, there are divisions even among the elites. The focus should not be on whether you are on one side or the other, but on finding solutions to the problems of #society and knowing that together we are stronger than the highest command.

Veo con tristeza la división de la gente, eligen #izquierda o #derecha sin darse cuenta que son las mismas #elites que dirigen las cosas. Como todos somos #humanos hay divisiones incluso en las élites.. El enfoque no debe estar en si eres de un lado u otro, si no, en encontrar soluciones a los problemas de la #sociedad y saber que todos juntos somos más fuertes que los más altos mandos.

Cuando los #gobiernos abiertamente #neoliberales, quisieron aprobar leyes en #beneficio de las #élites económicas y #empresariales, ejercieron su #poder inclementemente

Interesting article by #PeterTurchin about #Elites #CounterElites #Revolutionaries #CounterRevolutionaries and scenarios on how #Trump will likely resolve. I have long suggested #MilitaryCoup https://open.substack.com/pub/peterturchin/p/no-revolution-without-counter-revolution

Pour Frantz #Fanon, la nécessité de la violence révolutionnaire se nourrit d’une philosophie matérialiste de l’histoire, qui ne vise pas seulement le renversement des relations objectives, mais encore la réhabilitation du sujet. En ce sens, la critique de Fanon prend aussi une dimension socio-ontologique. Si la violence jusque-là absorbée conduisait à une autodestruction individuelle ou collective des colonisé·es , ou s’enlisait dans le règne imaginaire de la magie, des zombies et des actes rituels, soit dans l’anhistoricité, elle devrait atteindre, au cours de la formation de la conscience nationale, un point où la violence atmosphérique et l’usage concret de la violence révolutionnaire opèrent un revirement et s’en aillent détruire non plus le/la colonisé·e, mais le colonialisme.

"It’s part of the 'paranoid style' of radical conservatism: cosmopolitan #elites are forcing themselves between you and your #children, subverting the control over them you know you should be allowed to have and turning them into people who may not be perfect expressions of your expectations." https://www.liberalcurrents.com/showing-their-buts-the-false-compassion-of-the-concerned/

Comment une classe ultra minoritaire crée le chaos pour tous

Monique Pinçon-Charlot a travaillé sur la très grande bourgeoisie et constaté la capacité de reproduction, de ségrégation et de #solidarité indéfectible des #élites. Son dernier livre : « Les riches contre la planète • Violences oligarchiques et #chaos climatique » met en évidence l’incompatibilité entre #capitalisme et #écologie et fournit des pistes de #réflexion pour lutter.
