"it's getting close to christmas
christ! what a mess this world is in
where will it end, where will i begin
the gifts for ads are everywhere
still the west will not share the wealth
christ! what a mess this world is in
our climates disrupted, people die
just so we can drive smoothly by
the lights go on, hip hip hooray
goodwill to all on christmas day
christ what a mess this world is in
where will it end, where will i begin?
it will only end when i begin
it will only end when you begin
it will only end when we begin
the change, the change
......Imagine there's no countries
it isn't hard to do
no flags to kill or die for........
......Imagine there's no billionaires,
it isn't hard to do
no poverty or pollution...
it's getting close to christmas
and the best give we could give
would be the committment
so that all could live
live in dignity! living indignity!
it's already started because I've begun
it's already started because you've begun
it's already started because we've begun
the change, the change"

We, the ordinary people, the decent, kind, intelligent, warm hearted people of the so-called 'civilised world' must dig deep, dig into determination, set aside hope, because hope contains the seeds of failure...
What is Wealth-as-Power?
A minority group sitting above an exploited population extract wealth and weaponise that wealth to maintain their dominance over the exploited population, causing multiple avoidable harms and because Power is the drug, impunity is a necessity for continuation of the addiction.
The solution is to prevent wealth being accumulated and deployed as a political weapon that maintains poverty in order to make low pay seem more attractive than destitution. Low pay aka cheap labour aka the devaluing of a human beings hours is the very core of wealth extraction.
Because Wealth-as-Power deploys layers of social and class terrorism to maintain that shituation, they cannot be terrorised into sharing other their extracted wealth, other than to maintain the appearance of philantrophy as a carefully calibrated concession where they cede no real power.
Militarism is Psychopathy Institutionalised.
Philantrophy is a sign that the system of Wealth-as-Power is a human rights failure.
Charity is a sign that the system of Wealth-as-Power is a human rights failure.
The only viable pathway towards holding Wealth-as-Power Cults accountable is mass solidarity grounded in evidence and education, compassion and community. The minority cannot stand long against a united majority, even if that minority has nuclear weapons, because the majority also form part of the mercenary work force of that minority and that is a key stone. We ordinary people need to reach out to the mercenary minority of our brothers and sisters and lead them away from that exploitation.
Arrogance and Class.
The Wealthy always, always believe they are superior to the deliberately impoverished and that is a sickness that can be prevented, but once a person is exposed to the virus of wealth as superiority, there is no known cure.
Prevention is the only viable solution. Taxing Wealth is futile.
Taxing Wealth is too late. Preventing Wealth being accumulated and extracted is the only viable long term resolution. To achieve that the population must understand the nature of Wealth-as-Power as a bully cult that causes harm in order to exist, that requires impunity to continue to exist.
Wealth-as-Power.
It is a malign, anti-evolutionary cultural behaviour pattern.
Where wealth is extracted from an exploited population, where the wealth is concentrated and then weaponised to maintain the exploitation of the population.
Capitalism, European Democratic Socialism, Monarchies, Kingdoms, War Lords, Drug Cartels, Theocracies, Mafia, Corporate Hedge Funds, The Vatican, Oligarchies, Plutocracies, TechBrocracies and others are all examples of the same behaviour pattern.
A minority extract wealth and weaponise it to maintain their dominance over the exploited population, because Power and is the drug, impunity the necessity for continuation.
Thus the arguments between each variation about their differences are mostly pointless verbiage, self centred waffle, useless in terms of bringing about a genuinely healthy society.
