Today’s offering is a delightful interview featuring two intellectual heavyweights, Lawrence Lessig and Chris Hedges, discussing and analyzing the Occupy movement and how it stands to rival the rise of Corporatism across America and the world.
Some key points:
- A fraction of 1% of the population own the political landscape in America
- Corporate forces have gutted opposing institutions, like community, education, and unions
- Politicians at the State and Federal level are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Corporate State
- It is this underlying corruption which is stirring the people’s uprising, like Occupy
- The system could be too broken to fix, and will likely need to be purged
- This uprising, like a sleeping giant, is only just starting to awaken
- The pending revolution is imperative for the people to undertake
- A crucial factor for the revolution is to get the police on side with the protesters
