A Manifesto for Systemic Change: Why Reform Won't Fix a Government Designed for the Elite
By
Spencer Gray
Summary
A radical political manifesto arguing that the government is deliberately designed to serve the wealthy elite at the expense of ordinary people. The piece rejects reformist approaches as insufficient and calls for a fundamental restructuring of society through mass mobilization and direct action. It frames systemic inequality as an intentional feature of the current system, not a bug, and urges readers to abandon hope in electoral politics or institutional change in favor of building a people-powered revolution from the ground up.

No one is coming to save you, and that's the point
