The " neo-liberalism " of the modern Democratic Party


    Karl Marx observed a long time ago that " the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class ". The intellectual representatives of this class turned " liberalism " into a dirty word during the " Reagan Revolution ". A "liberal " politician was essentially a " pimp " for communism. Democrats evolved into " neo-liberals " not even " soft " on democratic socialism ".

   So " liberal " Hillary makes any old New Deal Democrat look like a raging Bolshevik.
In general a " progressive " today still thinks it possible to restrain or reform capitalist greed while still " working within the system ".

   Democratic socialists prefer " peaceful " revolution. But few of them would choose to work inside the Democratic Party.

   The Bernie Sanders " political revolution " can only peak with a dramatic break in the two party system.

   I remain a " critical supporter " of Bernie - unless he gives unconditional support to " neo- Democrat " Hillary Clinton.

   I could end up voting for Jill Stein of the Green Party- or write in Mother Teresa for president. I preferred Mother Teresa to neo-liberal Governor Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island.

     She is making Rhode Island look like Greece under global capitalism " austerity ". Gina is a big Hillary supporter.

    Neo-liberal Hillary will make America look more like Greece-with its completely ruined middle and working classes.

    Recently I lost my senior citizen free bus pass " entitlement "- the one my long dead grandmother was so happy about. Thank you , Governor Raimondo- LIBERAL Democrat.
