David Graeber on the Occupy Wall Street Protest & Forgiving Debt of the American Poor

[@danieltranter4164]

She knew how to ask short questions and let him breathe fire. She trusted him to be articulate, in asking blunt broad questions. What a treasure we have lost, RIP David we wont give up hope for true democracy

Oct 12/24. I knew about him before he passed away, but my interest in Occupy peaked again after the shit show that was the 2024 election. Election gambling and lotteries brought to you by billionaires… There’s no democracy left to speak of.

I have to say, OWS is the only political movement in America with an encompassing and uncompromising moral vision that could heal America and the world. It is a movement based on justice and love.

David is right on...

[@mistercohaagen]

It's almost 2024... and we now know what not listening to new ideas has brought us... to the brink of fascism on a dying world.

David needs to be careful when he says taxes were 90% in the 50's....he knows that nobody actually paid that much because of the loopholes.

[@prebenpetersen5982]

Exactly. Unless you were “poor” and working a lot to get ahead. The rich always get out of paying tax. The poor can’t. I noticed that stupid claim as well

David Graeber For 235 years USA has been a constitutional Republic, unfortunately! In-fact in combination with Crony & Corporate Capitalism has long produced a "Kleptocracy". The reality is both forms of Capitalism & Republic, all a design of/by/for the few to benefit from while explioting the masses needs outlawing from existance. Republics never do provide direct Citizen Democracy. Citizen Democracy is needed to allow each citizen legal nation ownership & direct rule & control over $/bus/govt

@axelgrz if you support a flat tax, you might as well give everything you own to a millionaire right now. a flat tax will be so regressive it'll amount to the same thing.
