Welcome to the age of austerity - where the poorest are punished whilst the rich make a profit. Where the vulnerable are the subject of popular hatred and the robber barons are put on a pedestal.
If you have to rely on benefits you are a dirty parasite who must be forced into work and put under constant surveillance and harassment by the state. If you are 'fortunate' enough to have a shitty job you have to work your fingers to the bone in case they pick on you next.
The hatred is cultivated by people who are unable to empathise with the life of the majority: rich and powerful politicians who can make thousands miserable with their policies, helped along by wealthy and cynical journalists who choose to see no further than making money for their bosses.
We have been pushed too far for too long. We have no other option but to fight back.
As daily life becomes unliveable we must make the changes to our material conditions that we wish to see.
More and more people are realising that the only way to live with dignity and freedom is to live in struggle. We are drowning so we must learn to swim.
