Do we see the collusions of power and wealth - or 'plutocracy'?☜How do we expose - and shatter - the Trojan Horse of plutocracy?

Those who define the metaphors define the terms of politics☜At every stage in history, people operate within a constructed frame of ideas, metaphors, and narratives--and this story frame defines how people think of themselves, what they think is possible in life, and how they think the world works.☜59C6EF
