As of this writing, it’s been nearly a decade since 2008 financial crisis that shook the world, and nearly half a decade since the rise of Occupy Wall Street, the Arab Spring, Podemos, the rise of the Greek Left, and other social movements concerned with issues of power and economic inequality, official malfeasance and incompetence, and general disdain for the status quo along multiple dimensions. Since then, things have only deteriorated; though those in charge have had one opening after another to rectify their individual failures, undo austerity and switch toward expansion and investment, accept and help those that have lost out from the Globalization of Capital, and contend with the effects of, and extreme dissatisfaction with, our current economic system, Neoliberalism (particularly the American version), they’ve done shockingly little to truly absorb, much less correct them. Even today in the West, our current elite attempts to give us, at most, warmed-over non-solutions to these enormous problems. The gap between the size and scope of said problems mirrors the gap between their lived experience and the experience of so much of the rest of society.
This song deals with these issues.
