The speeches of most Republican and Democratic politicians- original or plagiarized-are utterly forgettable but have a unity of purpose: they invariably bless the market place values of the capitalist way of life.

 More often than not the words are original but the " message " is false. How can any honest soul heap praises on a rotten economic system that perpetuates war and so much mass misery ?

For more than a hundred years democratic socialists have told the damning truth about world capitalism. Working class people should be able to vote this system out of existence.

They support neither fascism nor the insufferable status quo.Both disdain the common good.
