#counterpower — Public Fediverse posts

The counter-power is you and us. The idea that an opposition political party can regulate the influence of the financial markets is illusory. Pension funds like #BlackRock or #Vanguard (whose financial weight represents the famous 1% of the population) crush any attempt.
A parallel chamber made up of elected representatives chosen by lot could become a counter-power, but coercion would quickly suffocate it.

We are the only ones who can protect ourselves from the #pandemics, of #ClimateChange and #Famine.
Does this mean that we have failed? In the past and in the present, we have talked about permanent revolution, as in France. That's why so many social movements refuse to join this or that dominant or emerging political movement.
Some see this as childish, candid idealism.

Yet, in the face of the dehumanisation of our society, mainly to the benefit of the market values attributed to our health and the air and water we breathe, this act of resistance is essential and life-saving. Fortunately, we have not forgotten that it brings us closer to our social identity, which is characteristic of our species.
However disorganised these movements and our movements may be, however isolated these hashtags may be, we are the #CounterPower
