A poverty of social imagination in capitalist America


  There is another aspect to billionaire Donald Trump not wanting to debate low key " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders : capitalism is the secular national religion of the American ruling class.

 They try very hard- through PUBLIC EDUCATION - to make it nearly impossible for young people to even IMAGINE an alternative to rotten capitalism.

   In a time of political and economic crisis the intellectual apologists for the ruling class grow more strident-and hysterical in defense of their wonderful capitalist system.

And the political system of the American ruling class is on the brink of self-destruction: threatened by " populist " democracy, the " democracy of the streets ".
