Moore interviews Anand Giridharadas

Listen to the podcast here. I appreciate that the rich create a story that we all fall for: The rich are our saviors. When in reality they are the ones causing our pain. And the only one running for President that challenges that story, who champions we the working people and wants to make the rich pay their fair share and quit screwing us, is Bernie. Hence that's why the status quo in both Parties hate him, because he is re-writing the narrative.

I also appreciate how it is the rich Democrats who sell us the story that they are on our side, that their work will help us achieve equality etc. They really believe that the rich elite deserve the spoils of industry.The are so embedded in the capitalistic story that they cannot see that it's capitalism itself that is the direct cause of our inequality and suffering. It's very basis is extracting from the environment and labor to the point of depletion in the name of fair competition, when in fact they want monopolies and oligopolies where the winners take all while throwing breadcrumbs to their workers and destroying any real competition. They believe their own story and refuse to acknowledge their complicity when the facts don't support it, instead blaming the worker for being lazy etc.

I also appreciate how the rich, woke Dems, who are with us on social issues, use their money and influence to perpetuate the very system that creates those social ills, i.e., the wealthy class as benevolent caretakers. Yes, they give their money to some social causes, but they expect in return the perpetuation of their class dominance where wealth's main incentive is to increase itself no matter the social cost.

We see this repeatedly in the primaries between the transformational candidates and those who want to on the one hand fight for social justice but not change the very system that creates that social injustice in the first place. Big money is the main problem in politics, so those who continue to take it continue to maintain a status quo that creates the very problems they claim to want to address. Only a transformation of that corrupt system will get to the heart of those social ills.
