ITT, we must be reminded of these quotes:

“If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.” – Plato

“Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.” – Plato

"No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.” Plato

We must stop being celebrity worshippers.

Getting elected is the start, not the end.

We must not fear calling out politicians and holding them to our demands.

We must continue forcing them to the left (helping the poor and working class), instead of the status quo.
