I think we should start calling ourselves what we really are and what the 2014 Princeton study says we are: an oligarchy. There's no use trying to hide it any longer. Recent polls show that the vast majority of Americans want to stop the genocide of Palestinians and would like to have some sort of universal health care. And yet... Neither of these things have happened. Why not? Because they wouldn't make record profits for the military-industrial complex or for the Big Pharma/Big Health Insurance industries. Yeah, let's just face facts and call ourselves an oligarchy and skip all the lies about bringing "freedom and democracy" to other countries by dropping bombs on them. We're just dropping bombs because it makes our corporate owners richer. It's that simple and sociopathic.

Countries that are neoLiberal are not democracies. They don't serve the interests of the people they are supposed to represent, and we are suffering the consequences.
