Quotes
“Indeed, big business finances the election campaigns of both Republicans and Democrats. Proposals that are too far to the left are immediately sanctioned by Wall Street or by the political establishment itself. For example, a motion tabled by 30 progressive MPs in favor of a more peaceful approach to the war in Ukraine was withdrawn within 24 hours under pressure from the military establishment. In this context, progressive policies in the interests of the working class, the environment and peace obviously don't stand a chance.”
