The challenge that faced the English in the seventeenth century was how to curb the power of an absolute monarch. In the twenty-first century, it is the markets that have taken on the mantle of absolutism, placing themselves about the jurisdiction of national governments.

Our ability to have a respectful disagreement with our opponents has been torn to shreds by market forces in a deliberate act of irresponsibility.

A nation with their freezers full are dancing in their seats, while outside another nation is sleeping in the streets.

Peace, bread, work, and freedom is the best we can achieve.
