    You can seize the means of Production and lose society to those who own the means of Reproduction (of society): communication. Media, culture, education, history, and Law are just as fundamental to society as ownership, and as a shaper of motives, has more inertia, therefore momentum.

    American oligarchs have a long lever into Canada through ownership and influence of our media, both legacy and online. We are going backwards without fixing that.

      Don’t forget the Canadian oligarchs that are doing “god’s work” in Canada as well. Most of the private Canadian news outlets are owned by these billionaires that actively squeeze out every cent from their own base while convincing them that it’s for their benefit with unabashedly one-sided reporting.

      It really reminds me that all the stuff I say that what the US reminds me of 1930s Germany or Italy actually applies to Canada as well to a frighten degree.
