In the middle sixties the American ruling class was confident and secure enough to let public high students learn -with a minimum of distortion- the ABCs of Marxism . I recall reading a rather long introduction of the Communist Manifesto which explained that the great, happy, SOLID American middle class was a bulwark against any Bolshevik revolution happening here. But Marx also said that under capitalism " everything solid melts into air ".
This coming 2020 election will see " OUR democracy ", based on a corrupt TWO PARTY SYSTEM, collapse with a stench. The Corona Virus pandemic national emergency has exposed ALL the rottenness of capitalism ( and American imperialism ). Everywhere there is heartless price gouging ( yes, WE are all in this together! ) . Even the Voice of Science speaks Orwellian lies.
What will this corrupt news media proclaimed OPPORTUNITY look like when 35 million MIDDLE CLASS Americans fear eviction - fear being thrown into the streets by capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights ? The Land of the Homeless !
Democratic socialism has no voice in the Democratic Party -a pillar of capitalism and militarism just like the Republican Party.
