t r u t h o u t | We're deep in the battle over the fate of the United States. Will we solidify our government as a plutocracy - a late-stage empire that can only serve the interests of the super-rich? Will we continue to pursue policies around the globe that destroy the environment in pursuit of profits? Or will we retrench, and work to heal our bleeding political system before it's too late?
*The rest of the world is rising up against the cult of unrestrained free-market capitalism and money-power.* From Tunisia to Egypt to Spain to Portugal to France to Germany to Greece to Israel to Chile to the UK, anti-austerity movements are on the rise, and the fight is playing out in chaotic, unpredictable and often tragic ways.
Everyone is asking why such a revolt isn't happening here in the US.
One answer is simple - the US has invested billions of dollars in institutions that promote and protect consumerism-as-culture, both here and abroad. But activists around the country - whose hopes for change were dismantled over the past three years - are reuniting. The fight is coming here; it's just a matter of time.

Our country is the epicenter of backwards, self-destructive, consumption-driven thinking. But it's also the origin for some amazing transformative struggles that have changed the world. *Which side are you on?*
*It is Truthout's duty and our mission to help reform this insane consciousness, to shed light on the hypocrisy and to warn of the danger just down this path. *
If you're reading this, this is your task, too.
