the Democratic Party's backing and use of rule of law doesn't work, then
a) you don't know that it's the US 'rule of law' courts and judges who are still holding this democratic government together, and
b) you endorse right wing violence as the only punishment due to the current tyrant.
Paolo Freire calls what you and Wilson want The Pedagogy of the Oppressed.[/i]
The idea that the oppressed become the new oppressors is a concept known as the cycle of oppression, that without a proper understanding of liberation and a conscious effort to humanize both the oppressed and their oppressors, the formerly oppressed may simply internalize the values of their oppressors and replicate the same patterns of injustice once they gain power. The struggle for freedom must aim at restoring humanity and creating a new society, rather than merely switching roles.
The takeaway is that merely removing an oppressor without transforming underlying corrupt systems and consciousness of the people will not solve the issue of oppression.
Don't blame everything -- party centrists, party this or that blah blah -- that doesn't work on your own damn political party.
The Party works. It's the current election and damaged federal government structures that don't work.
Your turn.
