A
recent article by Ralph Nader suggests that the Democratic Party
establishment has already given the big chill to the " socialist "
maverick Bernie Sanders. They are hopelessly corrupt and pro-capitalist.
Yet the vast majority of working -middle class Democratic voters
readily identify with the issue of economic justice in America. Oddly
enough, Sanders is closer in political temperament to FDR than to that
flaming revolutionary Eugene V. Debs.
If the party establishment tries to deep freeze Bernie Sanders -despite his growing popularity- he would be politically astute to form an independent, American Labor Party- with a bolder socialist program.
The fatuous " identity politics " of the neo-Democrats estranged the Democratic Party from many working class people decades ago. And there are reliable reports that America in this 21st century is just no longer a Middle Class paradise.
Google the question : " Was Marx right ? ". As a democratic socialist myself, I think he was right- about inevitable class polarization and class struggle.
Which side is Hillary on ?
