Who (or What) Are These People, Anyway?

“Capitalism is the legitimate racket of the ruling class.” ~ Al Capone By Charlie Stephens By now, a large and growing fraction of our country’s population knows that the quality of life of “the 99 percent,” supported by less and less income and a smaller and smaller share of humanity’s useful and usable production, is in serious decline.

The insane don’t register much of what reality tries to tell them. They have a body of insane ideas to comfort and protect them from reality’s rigors. To call that body of ideas an ‘ideology’ is way too polite.” ~ James Howard Kunstler

The Value Club – November/December 2023 When I was a child, we lived in a Communist country, but we (my family) were not under Communist rule.

The school was not big, but it had a small library and American textbooks; our teachers came from different countries as well–Britain, Poland, America, France–but they all spoke
