A Brief Exerpt From Heges Interview With Wolin on The Real News Network
Ed. note: Edited for brevity and clarity. And, while I (personally), would like nothing more than for you to "bring me their heads on staves" - this interview excerpt is cause for pause.
CHRIS HEDGES, PULITZER-PRIZE WINNING JOURNALIST: Is it time to talk about revolution when you have, as we do today, a system of inverted totalitarianism? Especially given that they have:

Angola is watching a new generation of young entrepreneurs taking a fresh approach to business. Unlike their predecessors, these young men are strongly committed to business ethics.

About a voter out of two did not go to the polls for electing regional governors: this trend steadily consolidated through the years, with a net 10% average voters’ loss in comparison to previous elections (2010) and expresses a rising (…)

I just realized something. Now, this might sound grandiose (and, perhaps, even delusional), but I have a modicum of compelling evidence to suggest that it might not all be "in my head."
What, or who, is the corporate elite’s biggest nightmare? It might be the man writing this article. What’s worse? I think that they might just know it.
Here’s what has happened:
