Sometime between the 1980s and now, America stopped being a democracy. The corporations took over, and we became a corporatacracy under the guise of a democracy.

This seemed bad enough when, seemingly overnight, the corporatocracy transformed into an authoritarian corporate backed regime, with no laws, no justice, no humanity.

That is the bad new. But the good news is we can take the power back from the corporations we gave it to. They do not operate without us. They need us more than we need them. We have the power, and we can take it back.

Imagine a country where all the working people rally behind a common vision to reclaim our power, our right to live and thrive that is our birthright by virtue of being alive. Imagine us all reclaiming our lives, our time to spend in nature and in person rather than online!

We are up against a major challenge: the massive power consolidation in BigTech and its influence in our government and on our minds via social media. We've written books and movies warning us about this moment, and showing epic showdowns between the human and the inhumane. If 1984 and Brave New World can come true, why can't we also have a the Lord of the Rings showdown come to fruition, where the good guys win; where instead of just passing the baton (the ring of power to another party) we throw it away. We throw corporate domination of our politics out the window and bring the power back to the people.

Up to 80-90% of Americans are worse of than they were in the 1980s and it is only going to get worse with the direction we are going. We have the power of the majority, if we just ban together.

Corporations aren't people. They are machines that maximize profit even when that means harming millions of people or creating an uninhabitable planet. It's time for the people to take a stand and take our power back. Can you imagine it?
