The anti war movement against the illegal war on Iraq was the biggest mobilization in history. Millions of people all over the world tried to stop the war but we're ultimately unsuccessful. Which brings us to a bigger question, why don't we the people have political power. I believe it comes down to greed, and capitalism. How can we stop these wars? The genocide on Palestine? The only weapon we have is to withhold our labour. Organize, unionize and strike.
It's your last line. We have to find a way to take the world back from billionaires, by force if necessary. It's unreal that a small handful of assholes have the power over the billions of us that they do.
