YES, WE CAN [UPDATED]

[Jonathan Schwarz in Tiny Revolution]

It was a creed written into the founding DNA of a politics designed by
billionaires.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by red-faced, round-shouldered, self-hating Lockheed
lobbyists who knew no matter who lost the election, they would win.

Yes we can.

It was sung by hedge fund CEOs, eating organic, cruelty-free sashimi on
their Gulfstream G550 to Singapore, smiling as they realized their
good-hearted Brattleboro librarian opponents had abso-fucking-lutely no
idea what they're up against.

Yes we can.

We have been told we cannot do this, by a chorus of gentle graphic
designers forwarding that video to all 78 of their Facebook friends.
We've been told we cannot betray 20 year-old daughters of corporate
lawyers, who want to vote in a way that finally lets them live in
Scarsdale and feel good about themselves. We've been told we can't
create a system in which someone who began as a decent human being must
be utterly broken and perverted by his desire to climb to the top of the
slipperiest pole on earth.

Yes we can.

Now the hopes of the Viacom executive who used to be in an indie band
are the same as the gay investment banker who paints still-lifes as a
hobby, the same as the dreams of the Brown Literature Professor who's
secretly furious when her Salvadoran maid doesn't clean the bathroom
properly. We will remember that there are no nations; there are no
peoples. There are no Russians; there are no Arabs; there is no West.
There is only one holistic, vast, interwoven, interacting, multivaried,
multinational dominion of money. We will begin the next great chapter of
human submission with three words that will ring across the universe:

YES WE CAN.
