Britney Spears, the famous singer and pop culture figure, posted a photo on her Instagram account March 23 calling for the redistribution of wealth and a general strike, evoking figures such as Eugene V. Debs, a pioneer of American socialism.<\/span><\/p>\n

The caption of the photo was \u201cCommunion goes beyond walls\u201d and included three emoji roses, a symbol of democratic socialism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her pinned tweet on Twitter is a photo of her standing in front of a bright red background, a color also associated with social movements, and includes two emoji roses in the caption.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur world is going through such hard times right now,\u201d Spears said in a video Friday, March 20. \u201cSo whether it is food or diapers you need, send me a DM and I will help you out,\u201d confirming that she is ready to send her own money for those in need.<\/span><\/p>\n

People across America are suffering and will continue to suffer financially and emotionally because of the loss of work, with some facing the loss of their homes through evictions<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it is the responsibility of the government to fix economic inequality, solidarity among celebrities is certainly welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an March 22 article in Bloomberg, an online publication focused on business, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank James Bullard said, \u201cThe U.S. unemployment rate may hit 30% in the second quarter because of shutdowns to combat the coronavirus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, unemployment reached 24%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spears’ message did not go unnoticed. The Twitter account of Democratic Socialists of America said, \u201cComrade Britney knows: Together we can build a better world because capitalism is toxic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
