We will refuse gifts and donations from businesses that have a vested interest in destroying our society and close the tax loopholes we have made available to them. We shall put an end to exploitation through essential living needs by renationalising our utilities, transportation, postal services and health care. We shall start building homes and stop the entitlement of large property portfolios being passed on to the next generation. We will abolish the Monarchy and bring opportunities to all citizens by breaking up unjustifiable class divisions.
Is this constant political battle really worth our time? Over the years Capitalism has shot up all wealth and therefore power into the hands of so few yet we the people have made no major changes to the way we are governed. Make no mistake, corruption has always played it’s part in our government, they have just gotten better at hiding it from us in the modern world; away from cameras, out of files, no legal names, it’s also hard to prove when a favour really is just a favour. So what do we do now? The few who hold any power at all are clearly not using it to benefit the people, our lives are instead exploited to breaking points and our children’s futures taken before they even have a chance to make a decision for themselves. The big question is when does this end? When will enough of us break out of this artificial box we are kept in to actually make a change? When will enough of us unite? Use our own minds? and help each other out of this system that has us believe food, clean water and shelter are not an absolute right for us all. We cannot change a system from within the system itself we must stand up and say no together.
As we see another year come to an end we try to keep our thoughts positive for the New Year ahead. The past year saw living conditions crumble and crushed the dreams for many. Our “strong and stable government” had little or no stability at all and all that “levelled up” were the pockets of the billionaires who continue to profit from our misery. The magic money tree remains a dream for key workers and children yet open for banks as usual, the elderly shivering from the cold has been tolerated to allow for the record profits of energy companies. Homelessness, hospital waiting times and inflation have shot up while wages have dropped for 12 years. Sadly our government still has the audacity to blame people using food banks for our problems and uses their media to turn us against one another. Will things change this year? Perhaps we need more action and less prayer.
There is no stronger force than the people, but just how many of us have stopped to take a breath from this hamster wheel we are all on? How many have so much as dared to think about it? We are busy shouting “we need to eat”; “we have to pay our rent” and “have to survive”, sadly that is your trap. The cage door is locked right outside your wheel, had you stepped off there wouldn’t be much time before the little stability you had started to vanish. However, what if we all stepped off that wheel together? supported each other off instead of watching others fall and fail? shared our time helping one another to stand without their wheels? instead of giving all the hours of our day to the ones who exploit us all? We must disconnect our time from the nonsense and reconnect with each other in order to slowly regain our power as a people.
