    Politicians are rich before they get elected, their salaries are not motivating them to stay in politics.

    Have you read Are Prisons Obsolete by Angela Davis? It’s a quick read and that was my introduction to radical left politics.

        Awesome I hope you like it, Angela Davis is truly a hero.

        Yeah I agree, politicians are at the behest of corporations and rely on them for campaign funding. One idea is to publically fund campaigns and ban donations, so anyone can run and it’s an even playing field.

          Agreed but so far it only seems plausible on a small scale until their are restrictions on corporations or some sort of benefit for employee owned co-ops
