Student debt has been used as a campaign strategy with promises with no results.  Bernie Sanders ran on a platform of universal health care in an nation isolated among industrialized nations, of predatory industrial health profiteering, but was rejected by the voters.  Health debt is surely as consequential and more unavoidable than student debt, but can be suspected as another tool by the lending industry.  Capitalism is promotion of hierarchy for profit, and it is working well.  On a continuum capitalism transforms into organized crime or fascism.  Citizens United is a component in this process, that uniquely insinuates corruption into the system.  Yet voters continue to choose against their own interests and precepts of the US Constitution.  Consider the Preamble to the US Constitution.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of

This weekly series takes on a new focus now, toward building a Green Party that will fight for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal and that will elect thousands of Greens up and down the ballot in the 2020s.

That our Representatives of The People have stopped talking about our health care disaster doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.  It’s just easier to talk about the Ukrainian military dust-up and blame Russia.—-https://portside.org/2022-06-17/sick-and-struggling-pay-100-million-people-us-live-medical-debt?utm_source=portside-general&utm_medium=email      –In the past five years, more than half of U.S. adults report they’ve gone into debt because of medical or dental bills. “Debt is no longer just a bug in our system. It is one of the main products. We have a health care system almost perfectly designed to create debt.”

Newfound inspiration to “run government like a business” ushers in calibers of leadership that is questionable. Showmanship of body-slamming reporters appear to have titillated voters in Montana, without increasing the much-needed character of said leaders.  Who knew?  —  https://www.aol.com/news/yellowstone-park-gateway-towns-fret-041714684-224730574.html            —Gianforte, 61, is a tech mogul elected governor two years ago. He made headlines when he body-slammed a reporter the day before winning a seat in Congress in a 2017 special election. He initially misled investigators about the attack but eventually pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault.

“In a moment of unprecedented disaster and economic uncertainty, Gianforte purposefully kept Montanans in the dark about where he was and who was actually in charge,” said Sheila Hogan, executive director of the Montana Democratic Party.—-end of aol info–

When imperialism from the USA is excused as “spreading democracy around the world” (at the end of a gun barrel), one isn’t surprised when the commensurate violence embedded in this ideology spreads around the globe.  Consider India—–https://countercurrents.org/2022/06/agnipath-path-of-militarisation-of-society/           –Agnipath scheme, in spite of its popular Bollywood title and its hyped launch, has set the Indian youth on fire against the government within a day of its launch. In the present environment of economic uncertainty, the young Indians are instigated with the scheme announced by our prime minister, as it shrinks their job opportunity in the defense forces further. The ‘hire and fire’ logic of cost cutting will not only hurt the careers in the army, but it will also reduce the professional competency of the defense forces in the long run. While all this is discussed by defense experts, one must explore another side of this scheme, that it makes thousands of trained ‘Agniveers’ -75% recruits who lose their jobs after four years contract is over – simply unemployed. Government is saying that they can be absorbed in the state police force or other professional security requirements, but that can turn out to be a half truth. Most of them are more likely to be absorbed as private security guards by agencies out to exploit them. One dangerous prospect is – they will become easy recruits for political ideologies that believe in violence, to be used in the capacity of foot soldiers.—–end of countercurrents info–

This Indian story seems eerily familiar.

These realities of violence in society relates to debt when one considers debt can be economic violence, a subtle but actual type of violence.

The necessity of ecosocialist degrowth–Capitalist growth is destroying our life support systems. Its parasitic relationship with nature (both human and nonhuman) is as Marx wrote, “vampire-like”1 and “will not lose its hold…so long as there is a muscle, a nerve, a drop of blood to be exploited.”2 Every single year the material taken from the Earth to feed the insatiable capitalist appetite for profits grows larger and larger, and the waste spewing into the atmosphere, land, rivers, and sea grows bigger and bigger. Out of the nine planetary boundaries identified–which together delineate the “safe operating space for humanity”–four have been crossed.3UN slams Ukrainian attack on Donetsk maternity hospital

****As one who would be perfectly contented to retain the Senate if they adhered to Oaths of Office more than to Citizens United campaign donations, one is interested in a topic raised as to the reason we maintain the US Senate—-

 This is a reminder of how much we don’t know.  This brings one around to Howie Hawkins, who continues to impress with original thought.  We also could acknowledge Hawkins often speaks to censored information.

One such topic about which one would never have even considered, is whether the USA needs The Senate.  Apparently The Senate is little other than expensive window dressing, promoting hierarchical interests, and too often placed in positions of power by big-money via Citizens United.  But the public gets to fund this curiosity of pompous supremacy.  Who knew?

The Democratic Branch of the Republican/Democratic Duopoly are especially functional in voter suppression—–https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNbdkuU1edw          —#GreenSocialist Notes #76

Howie Hawkins brings up the concept of whether the USA needs the Senate.  Apparently according to some people, the Senate isn’t necessary.  This brings up the blockage from the Senate of many bills that would benefit We The People.  Combined with Citizens United that promotes big-money interest choice of Senators, in which laws are passed that benefit big-money interest rather than We The People, and that We The People support economically, the members of the Senate, this seems a good topic for discussion.

The US Constitution doesn’t seem to sanction elections run by political Parties, and to permit control of political debates by political Parties seems equally corrupt.

WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FROM FINAL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE–end of lwv info–Murray Bookchin, who founded social ecology, a theory that strongly influenced early Green Socialist thought, strongly advocated the discussion and study group as the first step of any revolutionary movement. A group of individuals meets to expand their knowledge of radical thought and form a radical intellectual community; through the give and take of discussion, can eventually form ideas for next steps in organizing and political activity. According to Bookchin, study groups help create solidarity and a shared language — with a shared coherent vision — for building a mass, organizing, political movement!
