Great song. But they're all our people -- every single one of the victims of neoliberalism, from the poorest farmer in Bihar, India to the most educated laid-off tech worker in Stuttgart, Germany -- they're all our people. Some of their stories we know first-hand, others we have to download. And the hardest part is not hating people for the monsters and wreckage the system has turned them into: a love for what they could yet be.
