Even those among us who can see, who can observe the hardening condition induced by the enemies of human liberty and well being, feel powerless in the face of this darkening and omniscient order. Despite the quadrennial claims of our political parties during national election years, no savior has arrived and none is coming. No Obama, no miracle of "green science," no national genius will emerge to lead us. We have only the simple, direct, undeceived intelligence of ordinary men and women to rely upon. We must regain respect for the seemingly meager and often lonely powers an individual does have, and choose work and a way of living upon which we can all rely.
in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.

from Joe Bageant, the muse of working men and women answers some questions about "democracy" in the US, the false ideas propagated about socialism, etc.
