March Against Neo-Feudalism: Revenge of the Wage Slave
Friday July 6th, Rally @ 6pm , March @ 7PM
“Marx described feudalism as the economic situation coming before the rise of capitalism. For Marx, what defined feudalism was that the power of the ruling class (the aristocracy) rested on their control of arable land, leading to a class society based upon the exploitation of the peasants who farm these lands, typically under serfdom. Marx thus considered feudalism within a purely economic model.”
 

In a world of finite resources, any system based on infinite growth is doomed to failure. A few thousand years ago nobles and kings seized the commons from the peasants and called it private property. A few thousand years later similar excuses were used to wipe native populations off of Australia and The Americas in the name of God and progress. People were captured from their lands, and forced into Slavery. Genocide was committed in the name of imperialist profit. That legacy of infinite growth forces us to constantly seek out new markets to exploit and new resources to seize. Our bodies are poisoned, our land is polluted, and we have nowhere left to go but to learn to live within our means and to rebuild our fractured relationships with the earth and our communities.
