Last week the energy union in France turned off the power to one of Macron’s ministers’ offices in solidarity with those protesting the raising retirement age, and this week they made the bills to low income households zero. They took power from the politicians and gave it to the poor. This is what the fuck I’m talking about, we cannot let fiscal capital colonise our minds to the extent that we think that the only way to redistribute and shift the balance of power is by giving people money. The union is showing the power it has by taking energy - literally power - from the rich and giving it to the poor. The rest of the world should be taking notes
