[fse-esf] first newsletter

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

Thanks for the newsletter, mariangela.

I am glad to see there

   "We should focus on poverty"

However I wonder if it should not be

   "We should focus on poverty and inequality"

Is not "inequality" one of the main reasons we are loosing power to a 
relative small minority of a few rich people? It is in my opinion quite 
hard to gain some power in political struggle without enough resources.

And isn't it quite hard to do political work if you do not have enough 
spare time because you have a lack or resources? I suspect this might be 
one of the reason why people who are ill or unemployed does not get 
political power in an equal amount to those with those with more 
economical resources.

Then there is of course the problem that those with economical resources 
pay other for doing work for them which we in many cases may say is 
political. (But it is difficult to say what is right or wrong. However 
it is important to be aware of what is going on.)
