No principled third parties ( Socialist , Libertarian , Christian Conservative ? ) in 2020 presidential election ?

-

      One major flaw of " OUR democracy " is , of course , the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM . Where does the Constitution of the United States authorize only these two parties : the Democratic Party and the Republican  Party ?

    The mainstream news media pretends perennially that various third parties have nothing serious to contribute to " OUR democracy " .

            Since Trump's 2016 election shock the Democrats have been promoting the HATE RUSSIA, New McCarthyism . While President Trump and Republicans -in this Corona virus pandemic- are promoting the new and revised " Yellow Peril ".

                As a long time democratic socialist - all too wary of a Stalinist revival on the Left ( a sickening contempt for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization) - I see the need for a contending American Labor Party - which will give millions more Americans of all races and ethnic groups a real say in " OUR democracy "  . And much needed ECONOMIC democracy !

    My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood sucker " . Not for nothing both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King made a connection between racism and capitalism , between racism and imperialism. Both opposed the criminal Vietnam War.

      The list of famous writers and scientists who advocate some  non- authoritarian form of socialism is very long . Read Albert Einstein's  essay " Why Socialism " .

Apartheid Israel sponsors " Big Blue Bug " message ?

-

      There must be some old fashioned " liberals " in Rhode Island who see the irony of Apartheid Israel - not the local Jewish community - sponsoring  this :

[PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WJAR) — The Big Blue Bug in Providence is not only sporting his pandemic face mask, but is also displaying a banner calling for an end to anti-Semitism.

The banner was commissioned by the Rhode Island Coalition for Israel and has been up since July 13.

Blue Bug Solutions said they regularly post banners with the bug on Route 95 for non-profits groups as a public service.]

         Long ago  Zionism was branded a form of racism by the United Nations. Should it not be easier for most black Americans - mostly working class and poor- to identify with the dispossessed and oppressed Palestinians ( " They look more like us ! )  than with the sentiments of neo-con, affluent  Jews forever defending the indefensible Apartheid system of Israel ?

              The only force that can counter crude anti-Semitism in the United States is the public voice of Jewish democratic socialists who condemn the social injustice of capitalism and imperialism as practiced by both Isreal and the United States.

          These voices are not heard in the Democratic Party .

  

Cut US nuclear arsenal " update " funding - SAVE THE WORKING CLASS !

        Millions of  working class and the always "  desperate class " Americans  face a capitalist designed economic abyss.  Interviewed on TV news, a young black mother in tears  feared losing her home. There were  just no sane preparations by our ruling class for national emergencies -like this Corona Virus  pandemic .

                          None of the " progressive "  Democrats dare talk about drastic cuts to the military budget . A few years ago they approved a trillion dollar update project for US nuclear weapons systems.

                  If the American capitalist social order or the " American Way of Life " are  devastated by a virus molecule , what chance does it have  on " The Day After " a nuclear attack ?

          Any democratic socialist can feel the drum beat of revolutionary wrath in the United States - every bit as explosive as France in 1789 or Russia in 1917.

          Soon it will be all about CLASS not race .  The American plutocracy, the ONE PERCENT, is equally contemptuous of ALL working class -and middle class - Americans whatever their race or ethnic group.

                     WE THE PEOPLE will not be lining up patiently on November 3 to vote for " Sleepy Joe " Biden.

                     WE will socially distance ourselves from the corrupt TWO PARTY SYSTEM forever.

Capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY right stymies Corona Epidemic fight

     It is quite obvious to any real democratic socialist that capitalist private property rights - including " intellectual property " rights - are sabotaging the collective fight against the Corona virus pandemic.  The capitalist inspired legal system is ruining millions of lives - the American- Way- of Life Gone- with- the- Wind - in the fifth month of the public health crisis. It does seem that a nasty virus has wrecked the Empire

            PRIVATE PROPERTY considerations should not overwhelm the  general welfare , the collective good.

             Just consider the nursing home scandal : MOST of the dead are nursing home residents as helpless as Nazi concentration camp prisoners. Long before the Corona pandemic conditions were deplorable in the FOR PROFIT health care nursing homes and hospitals.

              I am not surprised that workers at Bannister House and Charlesgate nursing homes are about to go on strike. The hypocritical owners and management shed crocodile tears for the elderly residents. WE THE PEOPLE should support striking health care workers.

             What does Governor Gina Raimondo propose to do with the thousands of homeless people in Rhode Island.? A democratic socialist government would sacrifice  capitalist landlord rights FIRST !
