"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.

They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."

So true, which is why it’s essential that more of what has recently occurred in Peru be encouraged and supported by those of us for whom the words “freedom”, “democracy” and “self-determination” mean more than tag phrases on a marketing campaign or mere double-speak from the latest batch of right-wing nut jobs.
