 So many evils of American capitalist society have become painfully obvious during the course of Pandemic 2020 .  Our mostly FOR PROFIT hospitals, nursing homes, MAKE-A-BUCK medical doctors and dentists - URGENT CARE centers for the well to do- are a disgrace to humanity.

                    How to explain -judging from the  soaring stock market - why the rich keep getting richer when life is hell for everybody else ?

                    ONLY democratic socialists -NOT connected to the so called " far left " of the Democratic Party- explain that everywhere the capitalist system is based on exploitation and oppression. And RACISM has a mostly CLASS basis.  Both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King - both mysteriously assassinated - were leaning toward some form of socialism. My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood sucker !  "

         Yet our legions of high school and college students are taught not even to IMAGINE a different " Way of Life . Any public school teacher or radio talk show host who dissents from the pro-capitalist party line ( the party line of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM , of " OUR democracy ") can expect a very short career.

                    And since the 2016 shock ( TRUMP WINS !  ) the Democratic Party has promoted a pernicious HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism .

     How can WE survive a nuclear war when we can hardly deal with hurricanes, blizzards, forest fires, and epidemics ?
