Churchill was an absolute enemy of anyone who isn't a racist imperialist tool.

"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

---- Winston Churchill

Absolute only quote you need from him to decide he isn't anyone worth looking up to.

Society is rapidly approaching a point at which we will no longer be able to live in the contradictory space between capitalist growth and a desire for sustainability. We can either destroy what’s left of our global environment in a quest for the last bits of extracted wealth, or transition to an ecological society based on community, mutual aid, and collective production. We can’t do both.

Continued thread

The #capitalist, bristling at the mere mention of #socialism will decry "government overreach," "cronyism," "corruption," "inefficiency" & the tyranny of bureaucrats picking winners & losers.

Step back & what do we see? A mirror reflecting capitalism itself.
Bailouts for the rich, monopolies crushing competition, lobbyists dictating policy & entire industries propped up by taxpayer money.
