A militant INDEPENDENT democratic socialist's attempt to expose the truth of our culture – in all its rich irony and absurdity.

Higher Education in the United States has , in the past few decades, mass produced the most docile, subservient intellectual class in human history - despite a somewhat liberating INTERNET .
The TWO PARTY SYSTEM in the United States makes it all but impossible for third parties of whatever ideology even to get on the ballot . They would never be invited to this vacuous SHOW OF PERSONALITY . Democrat of Republican, all these candidates have to offer the voters of Rhode Island is their PERSONALITY , their own high opinion of their character and virtues in contrast to the invariably shady incumbent, and their opponents.
SOCIALISTS , for example , at least offer a VISION OF A SANE FUTURE . But Democrats and Republicans running for office cannot even imagine a way of life much different from exploiting , oppressive capitalism. None of them ever think OUTSIDE THE BOX the spiritual prison of capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS - which are at the root of our most difficult social problems- like homelessness.
As a long time independent democratic socialist I wonder : Did not all these college and university educated American politicians now attached to THE ESTABLISHMENT ever encounter radical intellectual criticism of American capitalism and American imperialism ? If they did , it was like water off a duck's back !
