Lupe Fiasco Still Singing Occupy's Song

Lupe Fiasco Still Singing Occupy's Song
Tue, 5/15/2012

Lupe Fiasco, a longtime supporter of OWS, spoke to Fuse recently about his upcoming album, "Food and Liquor 2," along with his thoughts on the Occupy Movement.

"I always looked at Occupy Wall Street, since the beginning, as being a classroom," he said. "It's incubating the next leader. It's incubating the mind that's going to be that next dude to come out with the charisma and the revolutionary mentality to make this world a better place." The socially conscious rapper has a new album due out soon, and it will likely reflect on many of these issues challenging our world today. Watch the full interview above (the part about OWS starts around 2:08).

Journalists have a responsibility to plainly tell the truth about how truly different the Democrats and the Republicans are today, especially with both democracy and the rule of law at stake this November.

From Hungary and Poland to Italy and Spain, today's anti-abortionist movements are feeding one another—while also driving a growing counter-movement.

Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.

Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.

What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
