This is what happens when you privatize all capital and lead to the needs of a few individuals (personal profits) to determine the outcome of production for goods/services.

Now Americans will receive even more direct propaganda than usual and they’ll have no one to blame but themselves, as we are the ones who ignore the control of our economy by capitalist who distort the markets and control the distribution of wealth.

It was obvious what was happening and yet no one did (or does) anything.

Well, there goes any further scientific review of climate change by TIME magazine. Conservative billionaires score another win in the propaganda war.

Oh no! They might sway the 274 non-library people who still subscribe to Time.

I suppose some might view this as a problem...assuming there was anybody who actually still read Time.



As matters stand, however, few will even notice any difference. Far fewer will even care.

I'm sure you would feel better if some Bernie Sanders supporting organization owned Time Magazine. Whats your real preference though? Let the government own the media?

Let the workers control publications without a profit motive.

A journalist cooperative if you will.

America used to have thousands upon thousands of labor based and working class media outlets.

The working man of America in 2018 is now subject to an unprecedented degree of corporate power of media. A tiny number of oligarchs basically own almost every media the people use to stay informed.

That’s how the Zapatistas do it, allow workers to individual decide reporting and other functions among themselves, free association. No more ulterior motives, no more control over labor, it is the only system that allows human nature to operate at its best.

And yet people keep supporting the private control of capital.

They need to learn for their to be freedoms, workers must decide on production among themselves.
