Since 1776, the U.S.
Government has been run by and for only the wealthy white man
and - especially as of late - his corporate interests. Over
this time, this regime has waged
a continuous genocidal campaign against Native American nations,
an oppressive and
murderous campaign against African Americans, against Hispanic
Americans, Asian
Americans, Puerto Ricans, women and the poor. The natural environment
has been decimated by industries and governmental agencies that
prioritize monetary gain over the protection of the Earth. Our
air is becoming too polluted to breathe, water too contaminated
to drink, and our food supply compromised by chemical herbicides,
pesticides and genetic engineering. Millions of animals are used,
abused, and slaughtered in the United States annually not out
of any necessity, but for purposes of human vanity, fraudulent
medical experimentation and product testing, unhealthy dietary
consumption, and sadistic entertainment. This is in addition
to the millions of people the U.S. government and corporations
have killed and displaced internationally as a direct result
of U.S. foreign policy interests and imperialism.
This Country Must Change is
an effort to further the discussion of the necessity of a
fundamental political and social
revolution in the United States. This book
contains essays by twelve activists and authors, all who have demonstrated
a lifelong commitment to revolutionary change. It is
as inspiring as it is educational
and a must read for anyone involved with or considering advocating for political
or social change within the U.S. Arguing that reformist measures cannot be
relied upon to correct the fundamental problems caused
by the corporate elite and political
structure in the United States, the contributing authors in this book are unified
in their call for a significant revolutionary change in the United States of
America.
