So USA Citizens, you help bring down the Communism You fought against the communism. Now the USA rich society no longer need the masses: that’s YOU. The machines and computers have replaced the need of most working class, including the army. The rest of the products are made in Asia, China in particular. A service industry will not help. Not many of you want to protest because you helped bring the communism down. Now who was at fault? The rich are having a great time. The USA Police force has increased to the max to control the potential masses/protestors. All you can do is to die in pace; revolting is out of question.
