The List
Our Motto
Keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.

I concur. Today's powerful are virtually indistinguishable from Buccaneers...so when this results in a repeat of 'The Terror' comes around, will they cry for 'mercy'?
And yes, it seems all you have to do is give a man Nobel prize and he'll jump in your pocket, wagging his tail on command.
Thank you for linking to this.
economic activity being engaged in with an eye to the common good, as opposed to the merciless pursuit of profit, is what Bernie Sanders talked about at the Vatican – the whole text:

in his speech bernie quotes from encyclicals, which at first was a bit surprising to me - i had not known that, as he says here, "There are few places in modern thought that rival the depth and insight of the Church’s moral teachings on the market economy."
of course, the fact that they were having this meeting and invited bernie is quite consistent with this
"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
