Resource, will, interest desire are engines for action. Vibrant public spheres is what we got.
All good capitalists know that a society puts its resources into areas it values, areas that provide efficiency and worth. Since we, here at home, value the checks and balances of politics and power it follows that our time, treasure, attention and energy be allocated some in that direction. And it is. The hammering of partisan virtue and candidates for sale show that the wars of money and effort are there to balance the public trust. Resource is efficiently allocated and the government is a good power broker and all benefit from the process.
Watchdogs and kind, media, press, interested parties and such are in an era of access to funds, abilities, cooperation and interest so that they can serve well their function as fourth and/ or fifth branches of government. They provide bang for the buck opening up the lines of power that push and pull at the all of everyday life.
Resource, will, interest desire are engines for action. Vibrant public spheres is what we got. None rancid.

It is far easier to break the backs of those we own rather than try to do so to those who own us.

The poor and the dispossessed have no powerful constituency and therefor can be easily vilified and labelled as cheats and pikers, welfare abusers, scum who steal money from the public trough.
The wealthy, the gods, the connected own constituencies and can then steal and plunder without push back from all guardians of public morals. Might makes right and might corrals the standard bearers of public decency.
The poor and the dispossessed can make sublime canon fodder for those who make the conflicts, the weapons, the games, but they are there to be used as a resource ….. too many stop being poor and dispossessed, start having a stake in society and good canon fodder gets harder to find.
It is far easier to break the backs of those we own rather than try to do so to those who own us.
