History has not ended


The Iowa primary results show a profound political crisis for the American two party system.As Karl Marx said " the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class ". But this is hardly an absolute truth. In the Election 2016 they seem unable to set the script ( they would prefer that the American voters get all excited over a tame Hillary vs.Jeb contest).. They seem unable to set the parameters of the debate. Who would have guessed that the phrase " democratic socialist " would suddenly become Google popular.?
The brainwashing capitalist news media would have you believe that SOCIALISM died with the collapse of the Stalinist Soviet Union.History ended a generation ago ? And it culminated in Ayn Rand Thought and the triumph of the " free market " ?
