A political science course in community college inummerated all the ways the United States’ political system was structured to benefit the rich. From there I tried to find ways to reform the system. I looked into the new deal and the transition from the gilded age to the depression to post war America. Eventually I found that without a great deal of revolutionary potential FDR would have kept on behaving like the child of wealth he was. From there I imagined the States developing a similar amount of revolutionary potential and kicking off some reform that stuck. But the more I read about the slow weakening of the new deal the more disillusioned I was that anything of that sort would stick.
In order to permanently effect change, we need to eliminate the possibility for capitalists to exist and ensure that any political power that exists in society is incentivized to help the people.
