As the economic and social contradictions of the corporate controlled U.S. political system deepen, the terrible pain of everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people is, and will continue, to concomitantly increase.
Even so, there are those so-called ‘progressives’ and/or ‘leftists’ who are making a comfortable living from the very pain of everyday people. Many of these pundits write, push, and sell their seemingly endless stream of books – books in which we ordinary people are given their allegedly profound observations – which observations our common sense and daily suffering have already made abundantly clear to us. These people are the ‘movement pimps.’ They pontificate from positions of privilege. No names need to be mentioned as it is not difficult to extrapolate as to who they are.
They know full well that the Democrats and Republicans are simply two sides of exactly the same dirty, filthy systemic coin
These are the people who always stop just short of calling for absolute and unequivocal systemic change. They are, in real terms, wedded to the system, not its abolition. In these increasingly perilous and horrendous times for everyday people; these individuals are, as the expression goes, ‘having their cake and eating it too’ at the expense of ordinary folks and the people’s movement that they claim to support.
These individuals are adroit at distracting everyday people by pointing out certain injustices of this political system while invariably finding a way to avoid naming, for example, the leaders of both the Democrats and the Republicans for the culprit foxes and wolves that they actually are. These ‘movement pimps’ are in fact the fifth column of the so-called ‘Democratic’ Party.
