Do you know the reason this exists? It is because we allow it to. We have been convinced this is the best way. We are convinced that to upset this system will mean punishment, loss of wages, benefits, homes. We have been told that wealth will trickle down to the benefit of everyone. We've been terrified to challenge even though we know and see suffering everywhere we go. We allow it to.
The Peterloo massacre was almost 200 years ago and in all that time we have allegedly advanced, putting man on the moon, internet taking over, second by second trading and nothing has changed, because we're told it can't. It can.
When Shelley wrote the poem in response of the massacre he included the lines...
Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you-
Ye are many - they are few."
The last line.
