'Freedom...
Is there anything more American... than freedom?
America's national identity is built around a kind of constant anxiety about
government tyranny. But over the past fifty years, giant corporations have used
that anxiety as a propaganda tool, stirring up public fears about "big
government" to gut social programs, roll back labor protections, and destroy
the environment — thanks in part to the help of corporate propagandists like
Dennis Prager and Ben Shapiro.
Noam Chomsky calls this "government is the enemy" idea "anti-politics," and
it's become one of the most dominant forces in American media. But
anti-politics isn't actually about fighting tyranny or protecting individual
liberty — it's about making sure democracy doesn't get in the way of corporate
power. There's only one way to stop the world's billionaires from become actual
tyrants — a powerful, democratically elected government that fights on behalf
of all of us.
Don't fall for corporate propaganda. Fight hard and stick together.'
