Solidarity among oppressed groups is crucial from "summary" of The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins
Solidarity among oppressed groups is crucial. Throughout history, those in power have used divide-and-conquer tactics to maintain control over the masses. By pitting different groups against each other, the ruling elite can ensure that their power remains unchallenged. This strategy has been used time and time again to keep the oppressed from uniting against their oppressors. In my experience as an economic hit man, I have seen firsthand how powerful this tactic can be. When the people of a country are divided along lines of race, religion, or ethnicity, it becomes much easier for those in power to exploit them. They can manipulate these divisions to their advantage, turning one group against another in order to maintain their own dominance. However, when oppressed groups come together in solidarity, they pose a real threat to the status quo. By uniting against their common oppressors, they can challenge the existing power structures and demand change. This is why it is so crucial for those who are oppressed to set aside their differences and work together towards a common goal. Solidarity among oppressed groups is not just a nice idea - it is a necessity. Without unity, the ruling elite will continue to exploit and oppress those beneath them. Only by coming together can the oppressed hope to create a more just and equitable society for all. It is only through solidarity that real change can be achieved.
