When government is run like a business the predictable result on a continuum is organized crime or fascism.  The USA has a high incarceration rate of its residents, a justice system that seems to be in place to control according to class rather than crime, transfer of wealth from the 100% to the 1%, a policy of sending US jobs overseas that further exacerbates crime issues, and use of the military for aggression rather than defense.

Insistence by Establishment that ours is a 2-Party system flies in the face of FACTS, but helps to censor any views but those of the Democratic/Republican duopoly.  Capitalism is as interested in spreading its propaganda as had been communism in the Former USSR.  We would better follow principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republican than to cling to labels such as Democratic, Republican, capitalist, communist, or socialist.  
In his farewell Presidential address, George Washington advised American citizens to view themselves as a cohesive unit and avoid political parties and issued a special warning to be wary of attachments and entanglements with other nations. … In foreign affairs, he warned against long-term alliances with other nations.www.ourdocuments.gov

These topics seem connected when one takes into consideration the Establishment manipulation of actions rather than surgical examination of the symptoms of the illness of, for lack of a better definition, fascism.
Several observations about this connection—*Utter ignorance from many Americans about our own history is only a step ahead of ignorance about history of other nations*John Herbst when ‘splaining the need for the USA to counter attempts by Russia to protect their borders, glibly reminded the aggression by fascist Germany during WWII*In FACT Russia was instrumental and primary in challenging fascist Germany during WWII, making the comparison quite untruthful*The history of Russia is fascinating and over centuries seems to be self-defense against aggression from foreign nations, many with capitalistic intentions*The US prison system is reported to be the most robust in the world, without lowering crime rates*Those who are incarcerated seem never to include hierarchical Establishment criminals*In FACT, one would think the US has no hierarchical Establishment crimes*Would the reason for incarceration of low-level offenders be a result of having sent jobs overseas?*Should the US address, arrest, and incarcerate those responsible for sending American jobs overseas, creating income inequality, and increasing crime rates?*vanden Heuvel mentions that Putin was “head of the KGB” in the same way Bush was “head of the CIA”*UK is said to be interested in protecting the Ukraine against Russia along with the USA*UK excels in capitalism and is the nation against which the US Founders fought The American Revolution*Why is the US worried about Russia when UK is a monarchy in which their public is forced to support an inordinately useless portion of their government for show, and which portion of the monarchy are in FACT implicated in crimes which by the way also implicate US oligarchs*Members of the US government in 2022 have worried about expanding fascism in the USA*The same groups culpable in expansion of fascism in the USA have also been active in the Ukraine*The experience of Russia with fascism may be the reason for Russian sensitivity if not paranoia toward expanding fascism on their borders*The governance for the American people is sufficiently decayed as to require attention before we fix other nations

“The slums are the handiwork of a vicious system of the white society,” King said, “Negroes live in them, but they do not make them, any more than a prisoner makes a prison.” The “vicious system” that King identified and sought to dismantle included all of its leading institutions – both the instruments of capital and the iterations of the State. During his forceful condemnation of the Vietnam War in an speech at Riverside Church in New York, King described the need to conquer the “triplets of evil” – “racism, militarism, and materialism.”–end of portside 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.
