The Land Of The Free
In the land of the free
You are brought up
To do as you are told.
Conform to the norm,
Salute the flag,
Take the oath,
Pray to an invisible being,
Believe in a dream!
That’s the way
The wealthy elite
Like it.

The thing that struck me most about America was its conformity. Even when Americans sort out a seemingly antisocial group they merely conformed to a strict set of rules and thinking.
There is a brainwashing process involved – the saluting, the flag, the oath of allegiance, the belief in God. It’s overwhelming.
The McCarthy campaign was so incredibly effective. Socialism and Communism are dirty words. The capitalists won hands down. They enslaved everyone and dangled the idea of the American Dream. If you worked hard you too could be a billionaire. Bullshit. The reality is that a tiny percentage are creaming off a giant’s share.
The public are threatened, beset with racism, violent control and work for a pittance without benefits.
It’s a model that capitalists are trying to impose on the rest of the world by stealth.
Slavery hasn’t ended, it’s just taken a different form.
They’ll be pie in the sky when you die – now get back to work on your three jobs! You can’t afford to be sick!!
