(692 posts)just throwing some different things out there. Peeps can take what they want and leave the rest or take none of it at all. I don't profess to have all the answers. I'm just a bee in a hive. We need to get to what's real and what isn't though and we need collective action to force change. Much more than simply depending on a corrupted - by capital at all levels - electoral process. I'm also convinced that anything short of confronting capitalism as the problem -head on and without remorse -won't get the job done.
There are a lot of good people here and elsewhere - who care what's going on out there - and are on the fence amongst a mass of political confusion and impotency. I'm certainly not arrogant enough to exempt myself from that confusion on many occasions. One thing that needs to be called out every time though is defense of ruling class power and privilege under the veil of the left. It comes in many forms and that needs to be exposed. The more that gets exposed the better off we'll be.
