We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

This article is taken verbatim from the "Hellenic Parliament’s Debt Truth Committee Preliminary Findings - Executive Summary of the report".

As long as societies are fractured along capitalist-worker lines and capitalist classes control governments, and those governments can assume debts that workers are obligated to pay off, then such debts are immoral and illegitimate. Class structured societies are illegitimate.
