Theocracy, strongman dictatorship, communist police state, fascist, failed republic-capitalist oligarchy. Not one of these systems works for workers of this world. All are crazed with control and greed madness. All stand in the way of the massive paradigm shift needed to address climate catastrophe. All are diseased. Good luck Earth.

Let freedom ring!
