To begin with, a nation cognizant of education about FACTual history to our children continues to tolerate history written by the winners, rather than according to events and impact.  We also continue to kowtow to “running government like a business” rather than according to principles of a democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.  We also seem to prioritize a ROR in the markets over a healthy environment.  The kids are becoming miffed, but cling to business as usual.  Isn’t this strange?

–end of c-span info–
8:00AM–caller–paraphrase–Why are we permitting communist China to make our drugs………………..
(one can follow up on this thought by adding…………at the same time politicians say we cannot afford a 1-payer comprehensive public health care policy that would be less costly anyway, we spend the wealth of the nation to build a military-industrial complex to fight communism)
Guest–paraphrase–during conversation with Patrick Riccard—70% of Americans under the age of 40 failed a citizenship test of 20 questions with 12 correct being considered passing.  Previously during the C-Span morning a young caller complained that the needs of young people were being ignored by politicians.
(One was frankly embarrassed about the spectacle of wokesters organizing into so-called voter-rights advocacy to urge commercial interests to ask politicians to ensure voter rights for citizens.  Further embarrassment happened when state-run-corporate-owned MSM that is complicit in promoting interests of the very big-money interests that buy into public office the politicians with said conflict of interest, interviewed said voter-rights advocates to display the tragi-comic to the nation.  And to top it off, labeled as racist those who questioned this farce.
It’s not that voter rights are not vital, it is the cynical abuse by capitalistic hierarchical Establishment of serious youngsters after our educational system has failed.
This is the reason the same capitalistic Establishment advertisements are targeted toward youngsters, bless their hearts.
Another timely topic discussed on C-Span this morning was whether Covid-19 vaccination should be mandated, especially for employees.  Several thoughts–*Vaccinations shouldn’t be mandatory*Employers however have the right to demand compliance from employees*Free market principles have nothing to do with capitalism*Capitalism as “our system” is a lie that is destroying free markets in the USA*Self-employed people could continue to earn their living while choosing whether or not to be vaccinated*Another silver lining of the Covid cloud is to expose the lies against principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic by capitalistic hierarchical Establishment*Many freedoms have been taken away from Americans by capitalism which by its very character is hierarchical*This circles back to the inanity of spending the wealth of the nation to build our military-industrial complex while buying product from communist China
By the way, this is also corruption.
https://portside.org/2021-10-16/socialists-organized-1950s-civil-rights-movement      –For revolutionary socialists at the time like me, our political assumptions and horizons changed overnight. We threw ourselves into civil rights activity nonstop, remaining immersed for years in every stage of the movement until its ultimate fading. Despite our small size, we were a significant participant.Movement histories often ignore socialist involvement, a legacy from the 1950s that typically airbrushes away, minimizes, or derides socialist influence as some embarrassing or subversive secret. During McCarthyism, our role was of necessity frequently forced into the shadows. Truth, historical accuracy, political lessons, stronger bonds in the future, and trust would be better served if the contributions revolutionary socialists made to the struggle for black liberation were not ignored–end of portside info–

Ignorance and corruption are reasons the following could happe, and relates to thoughts about the topic of socialism in the portside link—*MLK, Jr. expressed concern about capitalism and recognized the strength and integrity of socialism, if we must have isms…….it’s a way of description, as is democracy….one would prefer adherence to principles of the US Constitution*Bernie Sanders self-describes as a socialist*During the 2020 Presidential election capitalist-leaning politicians insinuated Sanders was not supportive of civil rights and that Biden was, although MLK, Jr., considering his own words, may not have agreed…..we’ll never know directly…….*Use of the definition socialism seems a handy way to intimate ideas in the Preamble to the US Constitution*Meanwhile……………….portions of the electorate are terrified by propaganda into following capitalism as “our system”, and then complaining about the results
Is this socialism or governance toward “a more Perfect Union”?———–          https://socialistproject.ca/2021/10/postal-banking-public-banks-not-only-serve-the-rich/#more  –One of the ironies of mainstream banking is that the poorer you are, the more expensive it is to bank. The poor pay more. CUPW and other organizations feel that the post office can fill that gap and offer financial services at affordable prices that meet the needs of the underserved.–end of thebullet info–

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!
Along with Climate Change, many people oppose the imperialism of the USA under control of the Republican/Democratic duopoly.  Use of the wealth of our nation should be to enhance quality of life for We The People rather than for imperialism.  Some people vote accordingly.I———————–That “we are a 2-Party system” is a fabrication of the Republican/Democratic duopoly and spread by MSM.  In FACT the majority of voters aren’t either registered Democratic or Republican.  The censorship about this info must be envied by bureaucrats of the Former USSR and their simplistic style of 1-Party elections.  

Regardless of which character sits in the Oval Office, We The People have work to do to maintain principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.  Several items to challenge—*We need the integrity of ranked-choice voting so voters won’t feel compelled to “hold your nose and vote”*Censored debates must be stopped.  The Democratic/Republican duopoly pretends to legitimate debates in what is nothing other than another campaign show.  Independent debates run by uninterested sponsors such as The League of Women Voters, must be restored.  (Access www.debates.org to understand the extent of duopoly control).  The so-called Debate Commission is a corporation to promote the Democratic corporation and Republican corporation, not to inform We The People*Challenge and stop gerrymandering that is a trick especially of the Republican branch of the duopoly.*Stop voter suppression by political Parties, and especially confront and stop Party suppression, which is the over-arching approach to voter suppression.  Party suppression seems to have been the responsibility of the Democratic corporation*Promote by law ranked-choice voting, so we won’t be told again, by D&R duopoly, to “hold your nose and vote”
If these issues are handled, our next elections can be honorable.
