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 .
"By focusing on the allegations of sexual violence against Kavanaugh, the Democrats and their affiliated organizations can bury and divert attention from fundamental class issues, while rallying support among layers of the upper-middle class animated by the politics of race and gender. "
This per-lucid observation - often repeated- on the World Socialist Web Site is nothing less than socialist sanity in the midst of mass hysteria. How quickly a veneer of " radicalism " melts under the heat of bourgeois public opinion.
When I expressed an INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY attitude on Judge Brett Kavanaugh's alleged sexual assault on Ford 36 years ago I got the usual : " Why do you hate women ? " comment. Also I was " insane " .
I am getting older ( age 71 ) but show me new facts, new EVIDENCE, and I can quickly change my mind on any particular issue. My " socialism " has survived more than 50 years. My admiration for the Lenin and Trotsky is fixed . I am sure some " mistakes " of the Russian Revolution will not be repeated in the coming American socialist revolution.
For me the metaphysics of the Universe is an open question -and quite irrelevant for practical political purpose. There is no need for a religious test in the mass movement of SOCIALISM.
We can easily build bridges to the whole human race. And TRUTH - if not God- is on our side
