from The Real News Network.
Paul Jay inteviews Danny Schlechter on his recent film by that name. Notice that Jay starts off asking the right question regarding the structural changes needed in our economic system to solve our problems, but then retreats to asking conventional questions like: who should we vote for in the Fall elections?
Unless we as working people can control the election process, there is no point in participating in them. Under the existing system, no one will be allowed to run for any significant office who does not support the capitalist ruling class. By boycotting elections we can demonstrate their illegitimacy.
It seems to me that it follows that what needs to be done at this point is to continue, as The Real News Network does, to report on the crimes of this class in order to break down the wall of right wing propaganda that shields this class from exposure, and their class rule from illegitimacy. Soon, at some point, we working people must build our organizations to confront this monster, criminal class.
