What We Have Here is a Failure to Communicate

In a time at which the American empire is expanding its technological mayhem around the world, as financial markets have come to dominate nations and regions, and entire populations are punished into poverty and hunger for the benefit of gaining market “confidence,” we have come to a critical point as a society and a species: we need to question the fundamental notions of how our society is ordered, and we must – as a moral necessity – oppose imperialism in all its forms. The elite communicate with one another through otherwise incomprehensible language, and have no means of communicating honestly or openly with the population.
