An independent democratic socialist observes LIFE in " OUR democracy "

Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

NPR shutting down " comments " on August 23

  • Is this true ? NPR shutting down " comments " ? Just as the ruling class is preparing to shut down what passes for " democracy " in Hillary's America. A capitalist " democracy " exists with this inner contradiction : fear of the masses, fear of the very concept of " majority " rule.
