Nice edit. I'm not saying you can't build power, and a voice. But it's harder now. We've given thought to media since the '50s, worse more recently.
In our modern world, your public spaces are own by oligarchs (Twitter, FB). People can mobilie, but it won't happen like it did in the 1990s, much less the 1890s.Unions are dying, and workers are struggling. Depending on where you are, we've been given enough rope.
My GenX peeps were the last to get property in any meaningful way, for example. The youngs are progressively less likely to enjoy stability.
As to what do do? Sabs is the activist! I'm an angry peep on the internet. I hope *hope* the general strike movement takes off in the US and spreads globally. It's the best tool we have*.
