A lot of Willy Lomans out there The writer ignores a fundamental axiom of Marxism : the ruling ideas
are the ideas of the ruling class. The real CLASS STRUGGLE is reflected
in this social media polarization. As a democratic Socialist I want to
know ALL points of view. I want nobody silenced by ” more balanced ”
ruling class bureaucrats. It is respectable drivel to assume that TRUTH
and SANITY are always found in the philistine middle.
I can see why establishment news media feel threatened by the
political independence of COMMENTS. Just recently I heard a right wing
radio talk show host in Rhode Island ( Gene Valicenti, 630wpro.com )
suggest on air that newspaper COMMENT opportunities should be banned-not
monitored but BANNED. I don’t worry so much about polarization as I do
about the suffocation of FREE SPEECH.
The TRUTH itself is always and everywhere subversive. TRUTH cannot serve the oppressors and exploiters of this world.
Too bad for them that TRUTH has a SOCIALIST ring to it.
