The first critical thing to say here is PLEASE do not respond to this peaceful, legal social revolution strategy (for that's what it could be) with cynicism and passivity, because that's enabling the status quo and the status quo is a living hell. The status quo is our country and planet are rapidly DYING because of the fascist/elites, so if this all seems passé or idealistic, may I suggest you take a hike and leave this REVOLUTIONARY concept to those of us who have the passion (and ability?) to make it happen.
This is not the time of niceties! We are fighting for our very world and we MUST stay open to apolitical possibilities and strategies which could literally be a tipping point of human civilization. And boycotts, massively organized and orchestrated (ON THE NET) would blind side these vampire pigs beyond their dreams. Corporate fascism is impressive on the outside, but it has a very soft and vulnerable underbelly to laser boycotts. We could hurt these Earth killing (and they ARE killing the Earth) corporations MASSIVELY. How hopeful for the Earth it would be to watch their bottom lines plummet when they find themselves at the top of a list of say, 10 circulating cancerous corporations that conceivably would be boycotted by MILLIONS of consumers. It would be like watching a balloon slowly deflate. Of course, the truly responsible challenge would be to target first those corporations and advertisers who are murdering our nation and the Earth the most voraciously.
So, boycotts on a national and/or international scale would be "new thing" on the planet. They would be a "new thing" in the realm of what we used to call politics (we would no longer need that word).
But boycotts would only the first step. We can also do national strikes and constitutionally mandated referendums. The truth of the matter is that NON political strategies abound, but the elites have just been tragically successful at keeping us playing the political game. Remember that donkey chasing a carrot tied on a string in front of his head? That's establishment politics. And just as the donkey will NEVER get the carrot, neither will we EVERY get political representation from these pugs and dems at the hog trough. Listen, you can hear them grunt and snort as they laugh at what fools we are to trust them.
SO much more can be said. Not only by this one citizen, but by ALL of patriotic Americans who know with absolutely certainty that looking to traditional politics for "help" is like eating ground glass.
Point blank: Politics is Death. Radical NEW FORMS for revolutionary social change are LIFE. It's that simple. It's that point blank.
And one last thing. Remember and celebrate that we are liberals and progressive and that means (among a thousand other things) that we can think circles around these one dimensional greed heads. Also remember that the elites are biologically/culturally "in grown" (they certainly never want to marry a cattle consumer -- that's us). So they "inbreed" and as the Royal Family of England has shown us, that's a pretty stupid thing to do.
Inbreeding = Stupidity, whether it's biological or social, so, hey, we live in a different IQ universe from these elite morons. They may be rich (with inherited money!), but they're "primates" compared to us. And please don't think this is hyperbole (look it up George). This is the way it is. Our democratic intuitions have kept us in the genetic soup, so we aren't stunted by inbreeding.
