The topic of questioning our educational system is a long time coming.  The history of people has been ignored; especially including immigrants over the last 150 years.  Surely we all aware but ignore the atrocities toward Native Americans and have long ignored the history of African-Americans in order to soften the ideology of capitalism.  The game of listening to the language of self-presenting experts is entertaining.

C-Span hosted a timely discussion about Free Speech.  Who doesn’t support Free Speech?

  Washington Journal: Brad Smith Discusses Free Speech Issues

—end of c-span info–
The public may listen with a more critical ear to the officious presumptions of voices of authority.  As we listen to Brad Smith speaking out in favor of Free Speech, one couldn’t help but hear repeated references to “both sides” and “bi-partisan”.  This is the language of those suggesting freedom of views when what they actually speak of is consolidation of capitalistic hierarchical Establishment within the Republican/Democratic duopoly.
Meanwhile……..The Presidential debates precisely censor away views other than capitalistic, by having taken control of debates from The League of Women Voters, after Independent Ross Perot nearly won the Presidency.  You can learn more at www.LWV.org  and https://www.lwv.org/about-us/history or  www.debates.org.

Due to the competence, strength and integrity that characterizes NOW, one rarely promotes a group who may appear too self-sufficient to require assistance.  The FACT is this isn’t the case for other people struggling for dignity and autonomy, and to highlight the value of NOW may help to broadcast to those who are searching for answers, an ally that can be of actual rather than theoretical assistance—–https://mailchi.mp/184336757828/saturday-november-13th-stronger-bolder-ready-13432824?e=f9e4231b9e       —Together, we can be Stronger, Bolder & Ready to stop the attacks on our autonomy and freedom and defend our rights for generations to come.

Part II from the Bullet—https://socialistproject.ca/2021/10/climate-crisis-degrowth-global-gnd-part2/#more         –Unfortunately, the downsides of AltE loom so large that they must form the core of any serious discussion. Like many proponents of AltE, Pollin does not present climate change as symptomatic of capitalist overproduction, but as a stand-alone crisis whose resolution may require strengthening capitalism. Yet, there is already more than enough manufactured production to meet the needs of humanity, if only manufacturing were shifted from creating what is wasteful and destructive to production for need.

Some people call it activism and others call it defending human and environmental rights   —-   https://popularresistance.org/why-activism-needs-to-be-part-of-any-meaningful-climate-education/      —

Simply teaching kids about the science of the climate crisis isn’t enough.

To prevent feelings of disempowerment, they need to see how they can make a meaningful impact.–end of popularresistance info–

https://portside.org/2021-10-18/pedagogy-occupied       –The first is to conclude that those who have more must teach those who have less, full stop. Freire rejects it because, even if well intentioned, it slips into the paternalistic division between those who know and those who do not and treats liberation as a transfer of knowledge from one group to the other.The second is to deny that there are any differences between knowledges: all knowledge about all things is equally valid. This is very tempting, as it creates in a single gesture the equality that one had as a long-term goal. But it has a problem: it limits our ability to refer to a shared world, which is indispensable to the very possibility of a political practice. The third alternative is to reverse the game: yes, there are knowledge differentials, but they travel in the opposite direction; it is the oppressed who know everything and the oppressors, including those who fancy themselves as revolutionaries, who know nothing. Again, the appeal of this (mental, if not material) redress of the world’s injustices is obvious.——–end of portside info–

Here’s an idea you may not hear from capitalistic hierarchy because peace isn’t profitable to Establishment      —  https://portside.org/2021-10-18/imagine-world-us-china-cooperation

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.
