With blunt honesty, companies that trafficked in arms used to be called "merchants of death." Now our culture takes great pride in leading the world in arms shipments, never mind how those arms are used in places like Yemen.
The only way that a “War Against Homelessness” ~ or against Poverty, Hunger, Disease, Illiteracy and Ignorance, Inequity, Injustice, or Ecocide ~ can ever be effectively waged and actually Won is if there is a successful and ultimately truly revolutionary WAR AGAINST WAR.
Not an Anti-War or Pro-Peace “movement” against this or that War. But an actual, Real world confrontation, conflict, and successful combat with and against those for whom WAR is not merely a Way of Life and making a Living, but the best possible way to seek, gain, hold, expand, and perpetrate and perpetuate perpetual political Power, and the currency of The Realm, Wealth, so as to get more Power and thus more Wealth, and thus more Power, and thus etc.
So the Question becomes: What exactly is a “WAR AGAINST WAR”? And how is it to be successfully waged and ultimately won?

Bill, you’re always right, and focused on what’s really important. Keep trying to break through the inertia barrier!
J. D. Vance, a genuine poor boy as proven by his life story in Hillbilly Elegy, is now a senator. Let's watch and see what he does for the poor.
