The Democratic Party has evolved quickly into a neo-con War Party-not
any breeding ground for democratic socialists. I guess honest socialist "
idiots " reject all political intrigue that leaves out the organized
working class.
We don't imagine that the working class has any friends
in either establishment party. We adhere to a program of " class
struggle ".
As a democratic socialist I was a critical
supporter of " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders up to the point where
he endorsed " Wall St. Hillary " after the Hillary gang had sabotaged
his meek " political revolution ".
I was not surprised about
Bernie's abject capitulation - knowing that Corporate America, in the
final analysis, controls the Democratic Party.
The American
working class must self-organize and control its own leadership.
Reforming the Democratic party is hopeless and the hobby of political
opportunists alien to the working class.
Above all, democratic
socialists challenge the moral legitimacy of even " legitimate " wealth.
They reject the capitalist profit system and the private ownership of
the banks and the means of production, and all natural resources.
We have a vision of a SANE SOCIETY , a rational social and economic order.
The Clintons have betrayed even New Deal reformism. They make FDR look like a flaming Bolshevik.
Also, CLASS is a more relevant concept than race or gender in
explaining so much social injustice, explaining the misery and
oppression of the American working class.
