Vice was a very good and authentic source for a while. I recently just had to tell my friend that it's not the same thing as it was 5 years ago. He was flabbergasted. I'm heartbroken by the loss personally. The documentary they did sometimes was absolutely fascinating. The one about the Florida heroin addicts that live in the fishing industry was one that comes to mind. Nobody else had stories like they were doing. It's a damn shame!

Anyways what my point is, not every knows about these takeovers. And the people who suck the life out of them and their reputation are winning.

The book The Iron Heel by Jack London is very illuminating in the 1984 type way but about capitalism. The main character has a few specific speeches that really hit home.
