A very strong peice form ex New York Times Journalist Chris Hedges, which shows the call for revolution made by Russel Brand is not isolated or without thought and consideration when the call is made. Russel is being criticised for not voting however should the question to those of us who do Does our Vote Count? Revolution may be the surest way to make sure it becomes worth voting and that the Single Party parading as a three party democracy stops serving its corporate masters the Elite and Parliament becomes a vehicle of the people serving the people. The corporate state seeks to maintain the fiction of our personal agency in the political and economic process. As long as we believe we are participants, a lie sustained through massive propaganda campaigns, endless and absurd election cycles and the pageantry of empty political theater, our corporate oligarchs rest easy in their private jets, boardrooms, penthouses and mansions. As the bankruptcy of corporate capitalism and globalization is exposed, the ruling elite are increasingly nervous. They know that if the ideas that justify their power die, they are finished. This is why voices of dissent—as well as spontaneous uprisings such as the Occupy movement—are ruthlessly crushed by the corporate state.
