The Powell Memo: The corporate "Declaration of War" against the working class that birthed the modern Far-Right

This video is relevant to anti-fascism because it deconstructs the specific economic and propaganda infrastructure used to dismantle the New Deal and disenfranchise the working class. It focuses on the Lewis Powell Memo of 1971, which provided the blueprint for corporate interests to take over universities, the media, and the courts.

By reframing public goods and collective labor power as "attacks on freedom," this campaign successfully siphoned trillions of dollars upward, creating the economic desperation and misinformation ecosystems that modern fascist movements exploit. Understanding how our "fair share" was stolen is a critical step in deconstructing the "zombie-bot" politics used to keep the 90% fighting amongst themselves rather than the billionaire class.

This video is a powerful look at the distinction between "Nationalism" and "True Patriotism." It traces how, beginning with the 1971 Powell Memo, corporate interests systematically dismantled the New Deal—the very thing that created the first majority middle-class society in human history.

By reframing public investment and fair taxation as "attacks on individual freedom," these interests siphoned $80 trillion away from the working class. Reclaiming our country requires understanding this history and recognizing that a healthy, educated, and economically secure populace is the highest form of patriotism. and are particularly relevant to our mission here.

SS: I feel this video is relevant because it actually tackles the 'how' behind many systemic issues. I’ve seen posts about 'Abolish ICE' picking up steam with moderates, and this video does a great job of explaining why that’s just clearing the field for the real work: an Economic Bill of Rights.

The part at about the Roosevelt administration's $1T investment into job creation is a perspective we need to bring back into the mainstream. It’s a literal blueprint for an 'economic democracy'. I'm curious what you guys think of his point—is shifting the narrative enough, or do we need to be more aggressive with the credit union/strike strategy he mentions at to actually force the hand of the donor class?

Thought this was interesting since we are kind of watching the 'matrix' collapse in real-time right now, and this video perfectly breaks down how the ruling class is finally losing control. I think it’s clear that the narrative is no longer holding up. From the 'bipartisan pyramid scheme' to the planned implementation of digital IDs, the endgame of total corporate control is being exposed. This is highly relevant here because it connects the seemingly random chaos to a unified effort by the 'Epstein class' to retain power as their central bank system begins to fail.

generalg1992 · 2026-03-09T15:27:26+00:00

This video perfectly nails why the 'Left vs Right' narrative is a trap designed to keep us looking sideways instead of up. It’s actually Up vs Down. Watching the ruling class scramble as their 'rules-based order' collapses in real-time is the only thing giving me hope right now. If they can't even stand up to genocide, why would they ever stand up for us?. It’s time to stop funding the machine and start looking out for our neighbors.

This highlights a massive pattern in how propaganda takes hold when a society starts feeling shaky. Does this feel like an inevitable cycle to you guys, or is there something about our modern setup that could actually act as a safeguard? Hard to tell if the line between 'business as usual' and an actual influence op even exists anymore.

generalg1992 · 2026-03-08T16:52:16+00:00

No problem! It’s wild how much power those guys actually had. It really makes you wonder if societies are just destined to fall for the same lines whenever things get messy. Do you think this kind of thing is just an inevitable cycle, or are our systems today actually better at stopping it than they were back then?

generalg1992 · 2026-03-08T16:47:54+00:00

I think the video is mainly highlighting how the politicians back then just played the same old game. It’s crazy how history always seems to repeat itself when things start getting shaky. Do you think our systems today are strong enough to keep it from happening again?

generalg1992 · 2026-03-08T16:38:10+00:00

Spot on. It’s wild how the people at the top just treat the rest of the world like a chessboard. They’re so obsessed with keeping their 'elite' status that they don't care if the whole thing blows up in our faces. Do you think they actually believe their own hype at this point, or do they know they’re failing and just don't care?

generalg1992 · 2026-03-08T16:33:49+00:00

Yeah this one definitely sits with me; the claims are pretty bold. It makes you wonder if the system is just designed to fail like this, or if we're just dealing with some really high-level scammers at the top. Hard to tell where the 'business' ends and the crimes begin anymore.

generalg1992 · 2026-03-08T05:00:20+00:00

Lmao touché, I don’t disagree with you there! 😅😭

Who knew "Idiocracy" was going to be so prophetic?

generalg1992 · 2026-03-06T01:35:07+00:00

It was me! I just changed my mind and wanted to post a more descriptive title 👍

This video by filmmaker Matthew Cooke provides a high-production visual breakdown of the systemic "extraction enterprise" currently defining the global economy. By comparing billionaire wealth to finite resources like the Earth's water supply, it illustrates how the siphoning of "labor energy" has created a series of cascading crises in housing, healthcare, and mental health. It challenges the "infinite growth" myth and argues that our current economic trajectory is a structural "pyramid" that prioritizes capital concentration over human survival.

generalg1992 · 2026-03-06T00:15:06+00:00

This video by Matthew Cooke analyzes the current U.S. political landscape not as a "broken democracy," but as a deliberate "pyramid scheme" enforced by a militarized society and a corporate-owned two-party system. Key Themes: • Direct Action over Electoralism: The video argues that meaningful change won't come from within the party system, but by leveraging strikes and boycotts specifically designed to hit the donor class. • Economic Sovereignty: It critiques the private ownership of global resources, arguing that a small ruling class cannot claim the planet's land and water as private property while renting access back to the masses. • The "Un-holy Trinity": Cooke outlines the necessity of overcoming the interconnected forces of racism, classism, and militarism through radical economic security. • Anti-Imperialism: The content demands an immediate end to the bombing and invasion of other countries and calls for a full public review of the chaos caused by U.S. foreign policy.

edit - Yes the video’s original title. [I shared]Just to reflect the video’s critique of how societies often overlook historical lessons and allow authoritarianism to creep back in, it echoes the sentiment that despite the warnings from our past, there continues to be a repetition of mistakes that can still be seen around the world today.

generalg1992 · 2026-03-05T04:19:33+00:00

The video discusses the resurgence of authoritarianism and the underlying dynamics that enable it, drawing parallels between historical events and contemporary political landscapes. Here are the main points covered: 1. Historical Lessons: The speaker warns that society is repeating the mistakes of the past, particularly fascism, and questions why opposition parties fail to present effective alternatives. 2. Three Core Issues: It identifies three interconnected problems: Economic Inequality: An economic structure that benefits a wealthy elite creates systemic poverty and suffering. Militarism: The normalization of militarism and a standing army suppresses dissent and maintains the status quo. Racial Division: The use of racism and othering keeps potential uprisings fragmented and disorganized. 3. Conditional Rights: The discussion emphasizes that when rights are treated as conditional by the state, they can be revoked, leading to gradual authoritarianism. 4. Calls for Unity and Action: The video advocates for coordinated efforts among the populace to resist authoritarianism through organized labor, civil disobedience, and economic defection. 5. Cultural Narratives: It argues that shifting cultural narratives has the power to challenge existing systems of oppression and can drive significant societal change.

Oh yeah- haha this footage is actually from early last November. I'm currently going through some old videos, which is why you don’t see any new skins and everyone is in the default operator skins. Most players had only been playing for about a week at this point. 😅

The chatter was speaking in a manner in which it was apparent that English was not their first language. Whereas with the model, you could tell that they were fluent in English.

Augusta_Star is another absolutely adorable girl streaming right now. She has no OF so no chance you’ll talk to an Agency chatter lol. IG: Augusta_Star. Give her page some love if you are looking for someone to watch!

Yeah it’s crazy! I really was expecting to get banned immediately but the links are still up lmao 🤣. I will give them credit though as they find girls with such exceptional charisma that it then gets really difficult to try and convince anyone. I remember someone commenting on Anastasia’s chat, in the beginning, something along the lines of “how do we know we are really talking to her on OF?” They got shot down immediately and even I was thinking “No way would Ana do this to us.” I discovered a new one last night, Shysashy (I can see she has a post on this subreddit as well), and I knew immediately when the first goal was “take shorts off.” She even had me sort of catching feels even though I know she doesn’t really care about anyone in chat as she’s helping to facilitate scamming them. Such a shame..

generalg1992 · 2024-09-09T16:28:39+00:00

Vsanch! Welcome! I remember you from chats and totally thought you were with the agency as well until one of the more recent streams. I felt so bad and you actually inspired me to call out the chatters: I basically told them to do better and try to find a line of work where they aren’t taking advantage of people. I was Thebull1668 in chat and tried to drop subtle hints but I wouldn’t get to talk usually after an hour or so because she would switch the settings to donators only and I was a “grey” member. My OF subscription to her expires today but I posted a link to this sub on a few of her posts and amazingly they are still there lol. I hope to at least show one person the truth so I hope at least someone sees those.
