Looking Left With 2020 Vision

Looking Left With 2020 Vision

I found this  after posting
and it fits right in. 
"Let's talk about Socialism" Richard Wolff

Scavengers At The End Of Civilization

(after posting I came across the interview at the highlighted link by Jordan Chariton with Ralph Nader which if you listen to will provide a lot of useful information) 

2020 has become the focal point that has fixated the American electorate. Sometimes I feel sympathy for the American people because they have been jerked around and lied to for their entire lives. But it boggles my mind when I try to figure out why it is the American voters are so gullible until I remember I was gullible once myself. This article written by Charles Austin published September 22,2017 in the web only issue of In These Times exposes the problems the American voter faces. 

Money in politics encourages corruption. If you'd like to examine the breakdown of the study from those who collected and analyzed the data leading to that conclusion you can do so. The investigation was done by The Roosevelt Institute. It's here at the highlighted link.  

Another book written by a corrupt American politician explains that corruption is the way politics in America works. George Washington Plunkitt a well respected Senator from the State of New York praises what he calls 'graft'. There's good 'graft' and bad 'graft' and Plunkitt makes plain how to go after and get the good 'graft'.  "Plunkitt of Tammany Hall" is the name of the book.

"A Series of Very Plain Talks on Very Practical Politics, Delivered by Ex-senator George Washington Plunkitt, the Tammany Philosopher, from His Rostrum — the NewYork County Court House Bootblack Stand." 

Finding oneself at the mercy of politicians who are working for the non voting donor class of artificially created 'corporate non-human people' is not a good place for a voter to find oneself. Especially if you are part of a human family with ordinary everyday needs that are dismissed by the elite ruling class of corporately biased politicians.

Under the Trump Administration the Republicans and Democrats have by all appearances agreed to consider the ordinary everyday needs of the voter to be of negligible concern to them. This horrendous spectacle of government shutdown produced by the Republican and Democratic lawmakers demonstrates how completely out of touch the Republican and Democrats are with the fundamental needs wishes and desires of the voting class of human beings. Their actions indicate they simply do not have a clue. Or maybe they just don't care.

So we have the voting class looking for new ideas and it has come upon the old time remedy for these problems. Socialism is once again being considered in several formats in an attempt to find ideas that will amend the problems created by the malfeasance of the Republican and Democratic lawmakers over the last 40 years or so. 

Life on Main Street America has gone rapidly down hill ever since the Reagan Administration. The problems we are encountering today in the U.S. are the direct result of Republican and Democratic lawmakers deciding to consider the wishes of 'corporate people' who are unable to vote as the basis for making laws. You didn't make the laws of this diseased society, I didn't do it, they did do it. Republican and Democratic lawmakers have demonstrated they cannot be counted on to respond to the voters wishes  even for things as fundamental as their most basic human needs such as employment, housing, healthcare and education. It's time to show them the door.

So 2020 is a real big deal. America, and Americans themselves are on the verge of disappearing into an unregulated corporate wasteland. They are desperate for new faces in the legislative bodies and above all new ideas about the purpose of having a government. It is dawning on many that up to now they have been used to enrich the Wall Street elite donor class. You can imagine how the people must feel realizing they've been treated like dogs. Some not that good, even the master takes the dog to the vet, but many Americans go begging when they get sick.

I'm happy to see the alternative voices that have begun to speak out. It's a good sign.  Many of the voices are young and they are going to have to live in the world. Their input is necessary and expected. God bless them.

New ideas of any value to human beings cannot be expected to arise from Republican or Democratic planners. The reason is because all they do is done within the constraints of the relationship between the politician and the corporate donor class. If this is not completely accurate it is mostly accurate and it is a good way to describe the need to breach this partnership of politicians who take money from those who cannot vote and make laws on behalf of those who cannot vote. There is something fundamentally wrong with that scenario. You can readily see why it's not good to have those kind of relationships continuing in a society which is supposed to be run democratically. It's the antithesis of the democratic process!

That seems to be the reason many Americans are now willing to look to the Left and consider the previously culturally forbidden ideas that have always come to the forefront when the effects of the elite donor class have made life on Main Street undesirable.
