How is it possible that Bernie Sanders is leading a “political revolution"… from inside the Democratic Party? Doing such is like organizing an orgy within a house of eunuchs; a marathon in an emphysema ward; a zen tea ceremony in a meth house.
The Democratic Party is a cul-de-sac for leftist activism.
Revolutionaries do not – from the advent of the uprising – vow to endorse their despotic foes if defeated, as Sanders has promised to do when corporacrat and warmonger Hillary Clinton emerges victorious from the primary season.
What could be the source of this toxic naivety? It seems to be the liberal equivalent of wingnut gun fetishism, police state apologia, and military hagiography i.e., a compulsion to ward off feelings of powerlessness – a desperate clinging to the illusion of control – a willfully obtuse refusal to accept the fact that reform cannot arrive by participating in a system owned and operated by one’s oppressor.
A slave is not going to change the plantation from within.
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.
