Everything begins with the understanding that the corporations and banks are the enemies of all the people, and especially the working people, and among workers, workers of color most of all.
We understand that the corporations and banks control all the social institutions – the corporate media, the courts, most churches, the universities, even the public schools. And of course they control our political institutions – Congress, the Presidency, the two-party apparatus. Therefore, we cannot support either of those parties.
One of the things holding us back the most from making political progress is illusions in the Democratic Party. While an increasing number are coming to understand that the Democratic Party serves the interests of Wall Street and the corporate world generally, there is still a widespread belief that it is the lesser of two evils and they are therefore unwilling to stop supporting it.
But the theory of the lesser of the two evils is the greatest evil. It is therefore People Power’s obligation to expose the Democratic Party for what it is and work toward the establishment of a genuine people’s party.
