True, free to die of preventable illness, starvation or exposure after being kicked out of the alley they were sleeping in for the 5th time in a month. No one is free under this economic system.

People are closer to being on the same page than they realize I believe, but true, everyone is afraid of making the first move. I’ve heard this idea said a number of times, “I would fight a revolution but I don’t want to lead it.” People are still clinging to establishment politics and parties, what we need is a group to unite people in opposition to the status quo economic and political system and be unafraid to take direct action against the apparatus of the state. A lot of people would be afraid to take these steps, but it doesn’t require everyone, enough dedicated revolutionaries can help lead the non-political masses.

No person does until the conditions force them. Many people in the US are still comfortable enough and have a lot to lose, but the time might come. At a certain point it becomes the easier choice.
