It highlights Solidarity’s rapid growth, nine million members in 500 days, and 99 percent parliamentary wins, while stressing nonviolence and resilience through repression.

In a sharp critique from Other Words columnist William A. Collins, the piece argues that a 275 percent rise in after‑tax income for the top 1 percent since 1979 contrasts with minimal gains for the bottom 20 percent. It links tax cuts, free trade deals with Colombia, Korea and Panama, and deregulation to widening inequality, outsourcing, and a shift to part‑time, low‑benefit work, leaving tents in public spaces as visible protest.
