"According to another recent poll, nearly two-thirds of voters want an alternative to the two existing parties, whose candidates are reviled as corrupt representatives of the rich who lie shamelessly and have nothing but contempt for ordinary working people. Other polls show a rising interest in and support for socialism, particularly among young people. "
It is sickening to hear " liberal " Democrats fear for " OUR democracy " under Donald Trump . What we had long before Trump is a growing POLICE STATE with every brutal cop emboldened ( with license to kill ) to afflict the death penalty for every pathetic crime against capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY .
There is no working class WHITE PRIVILEGE when it is a case of petty thief vs.THE LAW .
It is hard to sell any ISM to ordinary working class people who know the truth about their own lives. But the BIG IDEA of socialism is already self-evident to them : the rich own too much of the world's wealth as a collective product. And every major religion on the planet ( consider AMOS of the Old Testament ) condemns greed and the neglect of the poor, condemns so many unjust wars .
Socialists just need to build a spiritual bridge to the masses. Not come across as stuffy , condescending " scholars " . The future BIG CRASH is more relevant to the masses than some cosmic BIG BANG of eons ago .
We humans at least know that we were evicted from some heavenly " Garden of Eden " long ago. We still linger " East of Eden ".
