Reply #57: it exists in objective reality [View All]

Power exists in objective reality, it is not about how we feel. It means control over resources, and so over other human beings. We fight for extending democracy into the economic realm rather than merely the political, or we do not. If we do not, a few will control all resources and so be able to direct and control us. They will have power over our lives, we will have no power over our own lives.

Everything that now gives us power over our own lives, from a decent wage, to affordable housing, to access to a public park, to public education, to access to health care is under assault by the few who want all power over us. We fight back, or we surrender.
