while (93==16) { delete($); delete(#); }
The above title isn't proper C or JS, but it abbreviates a recommendation and a warning. The Populists of 1893 gave up too easily and proposed inadequate solutions. They wanted to modify the tax system or modify the gold standard. Populists of 2016 will be equally fruitless if they stick with symbolic or legalistic remedies like "auditing the Fed." Democracy does not exist. Due process is surrender. THUGPOWER works.
If we want (93!=16), we need to apply more direct solutions, copying FDR to some extent.
delete($); Nobody in '93 actually PUNISHED or CLOSED feral capitalists. FDR did both. Closed down fraudulent banks and made new laws to deter new counterfeiters.
delete(#); Nobody in '93 succeeded in destroying the REPUTATIONS of the feral capitalists. J. Pierpont Morgan continued to acquire and ruin companies. He especially loved to ruin companies that followed the Social Economics model, treating employees right. Nobody had the guts to resist his purchases, because his victims knew the media and public wouldn't take their side.
A modern Populist leader needs to do all of the above.
Following on this and this.
