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 .

The " new democracy " leaves out the hoi polloi REST OF US !
" Identity politics " has nefarious roots in All -American " think tanks " dedicated to preserving the capitalist way of life. " Identity politics " is clearly a form of psychological CLASS warfare against ordinary working people. If they have you hugging some ethno-centric, racial , or just plain exotic assigned ( by THEM ) IDENTITY , your CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS is effectively snuffed out.
They do this even with TALENT . If you get noticed for some special talent or aptitude , you are in danger of becoming a rather supercilious prima donna ( of whatever sex ! ) .
They do it with effete IQ testing. If you're so smart, you belong in MENSA not any SOCIALIST group ! ( Biologist Stephen J. Gould , influenced by Marxism ) wrote about this IQ scandal )
And I am amused by slick magazine covers that bring attention to problem of females being BOTH beautiful and intelligent.
It seems that even the ONE PERCENT rich people need the protection of gated communities from the vulgar jealous mob.
Implied in all " identity politics " is this villain : the " ignorant " and always " bigoted " in every which way white working class .
The new " democracy " is all about protecting the fragile egos of VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE.
Not all about the hoi polloi REST OF US !
