From The Black Agenda Report, written by Glen Ford (a black man):

We Are Cornered: There's No Way Out Without A Fight

A corporate offensive is rolling down upon us, aimed at wholesale privatization of the public sector.

In this struggle, the people will be left to their own devices....

Obama and finance capital began an early, thoroughly vetted, and white hot love affair that was anchored in mutual contempt for those who would challenge the rule of money. He has delivered the highest return on corporate campaign investment in the history of bourgeois democracy, allowing Wall Street to pocket at least $12 trillion in return for contributions of less than $1 million per investment house....

This means finance capital and its "shadow," derivatives-based economy (nominally, ten times bigger than the "real" global economy) remain beyond the reach of meaningful public intervention by conventional methods. With the air knocked out of mainstream reformers' bony chests, Wall Street is poised for a Great Offensive against the political and social infrastructure of the United States....
