Fight the Rich

Kshama Sawant

"I served as the only socialist on the Seattle City Council for ten years. In that decade, my council office led movements of working people to win historic victories, including the highest minimum wage in the country. I also saw firsthand how every part of the political establishment, led by big business and the Democratic Party, viciously opposed virtually every pro-worker piece of legislation we fought for. I saw how all the cogs of the capitalist machine — the establishment politicians, the courts, the police, the NGO leaders, and sadly many labor leaders — all work in concert together against the interests of workers.

I can tell you from my experience — and it is increasingly evident to working people — that this system is completely irredeemable, as are both U.S. political parties."

[Kshama Sawant is a revolutionary socialist, a founding member of Workers Strike Back, and a former Seattle City Councilmember who helped win the first $15/hour minimum wage in a major city and the Amazon Tax on wealthy corporations to fund affordable housing.]

Health Insurance Execs Should Live in Fear of Prison, Not Murder https://theintercept.com/2024/12/19/luigi-mangione-unitedhealthcare-insurance/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter #UnitedHealthcare #MedicareForAll

The problem with this article is that the #media hasn't been very empathetic here. This isn't a case of "white man kills family" and the photo is him jet skiing.

The media has actually been trying pretty hard to shame everyone who is being empathetic to him.

The empathy is coming from social media.

"Anyone who hurt their precious children, they’d hunt that person down like a dog. The only amazing thing about any of this is that no one has done it yet."

I notice that on here, #MedicareForAll has gone from 10 posts to over 50 since the #UnitedHealthcare CEO killing.

In Light Of Healthcare CEO Killing, Americans Have An Opportunity To Force Major Change https://www.leoweekly.com/news/in-light-of-healthcare-ceo-killing-americans-have-an-opportunity-to-force-major-change-17166508 #UnitedHealthcare #BasicIncome #MedicareForAll

I mean, if he's been at all a victim of the United States healthcare system, a really good lawyer could argue this was just 'self defense' 🤔

Also, the #UnitedHealthcare killing proves my point that the NRA owns this shooting. The gun in question was a ghost gun, which the NRA has fought tooth and nail to deregulate. The combination of tens of thousands of deaths a year from lack of healthcare and the NRA pushing for the right to keep and bear ghost guns means the #UnitedHealthcare CEO killing was a tragedy waiting to happen. The solutions are more gun control, #BasicIncome, and #MedicareForAll. #USPol
