New Issue Of JOHNSTONE: The System Is Working Exactly As Intended
The new issue of JOHNSTONE is now available to order in print or download as a pay-what-you-want e-book version. As with all my work, everything contained in this magazine is free to reuse, reproduce or republish in any way.
There are, broadly speaking, two different types of people who are calling attention to the Epstein files right now: (A) those who hope the revelations lead to high-level prosecutions and major institutional changes in the US government, and (B) those who know this will never happen but hope the revelations will help radicalize people toward truly revolutionary politics.
Those in category (A) believe the system is broken and needs to be fixed. Those in category (B) understand that the system is working exactly as intended and needs to be destroyed.
Those in category (A) believe there’s a possibility that they’ll see high-level prosecutions and major institutional changes in the US government because they think the abuses associated with Jeffrey Epstein are aberrations which conflict with the values and principles their country stands for. Those in category (B) understand that Epstein and his ilk are the natural products of the abusive capitalist dystopia under which they live, and are in this sense as American as apple pie.
Those in category (A) think the system can save them from future Jeffrey Epsteins. Those in category (B) understand that the system was explicitly designed to give rise to Jeffrey Epsteins.
In category (A) you’ll find mainstream Democrats and Republicans, which include “progressives” and right wing “populists” who don’t view themselves as mainstream. In category (B) you’ll find those with actual revolutionary politics who seek to dismantle capitalism and the US empire.
The more clear it becomes that we are ruled by psychopaths, the more people will hopefully begin to migrate from category (A) to category (B).

Thanks for laying out this important distinction so clearly, Caitlin. I hope more people make that leap too.
Hopefully more people will migrate from category (A) to category (B). Simply brilliant Caitlin!
