Fight Oligarchy

De: Senator Bernie Sanders

Narrado por: Senator Bernie Sanders

“Oligarchy is a system in which a small number of extremely wealthy individuals control the economic, political, and media life of a nation. It is a system in which ordinary people have very little power to determine the future of their country. If you’re an American, it is the system in which you’re living. That must change. In the wealthiest nation on earth we must build a political movement that creates a government that represents all Americans, not just a handful of billionaires.”—Bernie Sanders

Senator Bernie Sanders breaks down the unprecedented crises we face today in Trump’s America, as Trump undermines democracy at every turn—and how we can effectively fight back.

From the moment that Sanders began his Fighting Oligarchy tour in the early days of the Trump administration, it was clear that his message resonated with Americans across the political spectrum. Record-breaking crowds numbering in the tens of thousands showed up across the country. Large numbers of Americans, in red states and blue states, were prepared to stand up and fight back. In this book, he shows how we can continue that fight.

In a series of short, pointed chapters, Sanders explains how the United States today is an oligarchic society in which a small handful of multibillionaires exercise enormous economic and political power. He describes what it means when the very rich get much richer, while the majority of Americans struggle to pay the rent and put food on the table. And he observes how a corrupt campaign finance system allows billionaires in both parties to increasingly control our political system.

Sanders also discusses how, under Trump, we are rapidly moving toward authoritarianism–with a president who is undermining our democracy as he attacks Congress, the courts, the media, and law firms and universities in search of more and more power for himself. With relentless optimism and focused energy, Sanders reminds listeners that true power rests with the people—and he presents a path forward to a reinvigorated democracy.

Hard facts to mitigate stress and motivate a new American Revolution

Hated learning how we lost our moral and ethical high ground! This book is worth the read. Look for a way to get involved with the others in our country who actually work, that is, people who do their own laundry and fold their own underwear.

Bernie 101

A rational discussion of how things are and the way they could be. I am glad I live in the same time as Bernie.

A warning, an opinion, and a call to action

A somewhat loosely organized list of political grievances should not distract from the merit of the opinion and call to action here presented. Squarely centered in ongoing events, Sanders tries at times to contrast the current normal with once broadly shared views of aspiring to follow this nation’s greatest promises.

Inspiring listen from Bernie as always. Listening on 2x while doing laundry. Finished it in an hour after hearing his interview on Trevor Noah
