Why should people suffer poverty in a world with abundant wealth, especially since it is those very poor who produce that wealth. Without that army of poor the capitalist system would grind to a halt, it depends on them to make its profits, so we can never look to the capitalist economics to solve the problem of the poor, it simply isn't in its DNA. As long as there is poverty in the midst of wealth there will be discontent, at what point will that discontent turn to righteous anger that drives the action to rid our world of the poverty of inequality and the insanity of capitalist economics.

When we talk about climate emergency it is the rich and powerful that tell us we will have to change our way of living. They of course mean us ordinary people, not them, the richest and most powerful. A recent Oxfam report states: "The richest one percent of the world’s population are responsible for more than twice as much carbon pollution as the 3.1 billion people who made up the poorest half of humanity during a critical 25-year period of unprecedented emissions growth." To my simple mind the first thing we must do to stop the capitalist driven climate suicide journey is get rid of that 1% of the richest billionaire parasites responsible for a massive portion of the earth's carbon footprint. and the only way to do that is bring down the capitalist system that creates and feeds them their unearned opulence, power, and privileges. Poverty always comes with discontent, discontent must breed resistance. In this type of society resistance must be resolute, rebellious until poverty and all its attendant miseries and injustices and the capitalist economics that spawns them, are written into history's annals as human's darkest hour.
When persistence and insistence becomes a war cry that spreads through different territories and in different languages, but with the same language of war as the genuine voice of struggle for the destruction of prison society, capitalist normality, domination and all its devices of assimilation, control and punishment.
This cry came out of prison more than 20 years ago and was reaffirmed again loudly almost 13 years ago and today. It is part of the practical-theoretical arsenal of many in the unavoidable framework of the Social War!!!
“AS LONG AS POVERTY EXISTS THERE WILL BE REBELLION!!!!
