Our capitalist rulers, and the politicians they own, are playing the long game. Since the 1950s they have been working steadily to shift the Overton window, to reduce the influence of labor unions, to boost consumerism, and to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few.

A large part of that strategy involves privatizing services that used to be (and should be) public.

They're playing the long game, and they are winning — much to the detriment of you and me and the environment we live in.

Cartoon image of a man pushing over the first in a series of human-size dominoes. The dominoes are arranged in a circle and gradually grow in the size, until at the end the final domino is about three times as tall as the man and will fall to crush him. TITLE: How to destroy public services, a step-by-step guide. The steps are: 1) Reduce the budget of public services; 2) Elimination of positions in public services, because the budget has been reduced; 3) Complain about the decline in quality and efficiency of public services; 4) Claim that the degradation of public services is proof of government inefficiency, and so privatization is needed; 5) Privatize.
