If you endorse policies that would eventually lead to the deaths of huge swathes of disabled and chronically ill people, your own motives for doing so might be perfectly reasonable, but some of the results of those policies are functionally indistinguishable from large-scale forcible eugenics, and your support makes you at least partially complicit. It’s mass murder of disabled and chronically ill people via legalized medical neglect, and it doesn’t belong in any society that claims to protect its own citizens.
Twelve people were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after obstructing the NYC LGBT Pride March outside the Stonewall Inn, police said on Sunday.
Marching behind a sign that read “No Cops, No Banks,” the demonstrators appeared to be protesting the increasing corporatization and police involvement with the annual event.

Yes, inequality is getting worse every year. In early 2016 Oxfam reported that just 62 individuals had the same wealth as the bottom half of humanity. About a year later Oxfam reported that just 8 men had the same wealth as the world’s bottom half. Based on the same methodology and data sources used by Oxfam, that number is now down to 6.
…………
It’s not just the bottom half: A 500-seat auditorium could hold as much wealth as 70% of the world’s population. According to the Forbes Billionaire List, the world’s richest 500 individuals have $4.73 trillion in wealth. Tables 2-4 and 3-4 of the GWD reveal that the poorest seven deciles of the world population own just 1.86% of the $256 trillion in global wealth, or $4.76 trillion. That’s over two-thirds of all the people on earth.
If you redistribute the wealth of the richest 6 men on Earth, you could double the wealth of about 3.7 Billion of the worlds poorest people. If you redistribute the wealth of just the 500 richest people, you could double the wealth of about 5 Billion people. There’s not a shortage of assets, there’s an appropriation of assets by the bourgeoisie. The question of where communists would get the resources for social programs we propose is not a hard one to answer when you start looking at where the wealth is right now. Take that 98% of the global wealth owned by the richest 30% of the population and use it to provide a good living to everyone.
