Thought Control: Right-Wing Koch Brothers Caught Telling Thousands of Employees How To Vote
Follow the above link for an excellent analysis of the Koch brothers involvement in manipulating the politics of their over 50,000 workers.
The power of the bourgousie to influence, through exploitation, the outward politics of their workers, and to repress their true beliefs has been going on for as long as industrial capitalism has existed. But now, as industry becomes more consolidated and monopolized, there is even less room for dissent among workers, who fear losing their jobs if they have dissident opinions. The right-wing, free-market libertarian ideals of the bosses has no place being forced upon the worker. The Koch brothers are guilty of holding forced political meetings among workers in order to manufacture consent. Worse than this, it is completely legal as previous Supreme Court rulings have passed a dangerous precedent granting freedom of speech to corporations, and giving corporations rights akin to those granted to the individual.
Should bosses and CEO's be allowed to manufacture political consent amongst their workers? I say no, of course.
This only further proves that our country is a plutocracy, run by the rich and powerful in the interests of the rich and powerful.
And we must stand by workers, and fight for their right to express their true political opinions!
Knit. Purl. Revolt.
