John - This has to be one of the best commentaries I have seen on Substack yet. A wonderful analysis of the past, what neoliberalism means, and the inevitable destination. You are absolutely right that these protestors (mostly young) are our last hope. On the other hand, it's not that the 1% don't know what it's like to be poor, or living pay cheque to pay cheque, it's worse - they don't care! It is not something that ever be a thought in most of the 1%'s heads. If they didn't know, that might be an excuse. They don't care and that makes them psychopaths - the most dangerous type to have in control.
Please tell us what Israel should have done when 1200 of their citizens were slaughtered. Go ahead, explain it to us prols. Tell us how they should have said no problem, don't do it again or maybe they have said if you do it again, we will actually take action. Teach us. Even though the civilian death rate in Gaza is comparible to the US in Iraq and the Allied forces in WW2 teach us how this time it's genocide. If you can't shut up and stop acting like a hormonal school girl who has watched a few TikToks on the Middle East.

Thanks and I agree they don't care.
I totally agree
Excellent piece John, always appreciate your skill in putting present in past's context, without diminishing the sharpness of either.
Major sectors of the Canadian economy are either cartels or duopolies - two international airlines, four telecoms, six banks, two railways and so on.

Without morality you will never understand
Great article, John. Thank-you.
Though, I find the multiple typos distracting.
