In a Politicususa article, the author cautions Sanders' supporters that Obama has said and history shows that incrementalism is the only way in which major changes take place.
I’ve seen 30 years of Democratic establishment contempt for progressives, I’ve seen their seven stages of reactionary attacks too many times, I’ve seen the condescension and the slander and the scorched earth. I’ve heard their endless excuses for enabling evil, their immoral pandering to the Powers-That-Be, their strident demands for party loyalty while progressive values burn in the bonfires of the Beltway and the Four Horsemen of Triangulation saddle up for yet another nationwide ride.
A couple months ago I spotted this video and something about it struck me wrong.
I know it was supposed to be something to do with female empowerment, but it just didn't feel right. I couldn't put my finger on it.
Friends, Romans, Countrymen- Lend me your ears. I come to bury Casear, not to praise him.
Monday Barack Obama placed an OpEd in the Washington Post (Pravda, meaning "Truth" and the Party organ of the Communist Party of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, as opposed to Izvestia, meaning "News", the Official, State Sanctioned, Public Record- that would be The New York Times) praising the virtues of the Trans Pacific Partnership.
The cooperative is a form of organization for business or for consumers that works for the betterment of the local community - its people, environment, and its economy.
This is Part 3 in a three-part series on co-ops.
Part 1 is here http://caucus99percent.com/content/resilience-co-ops-101-introduction-co...
Part 2 http://caucus99percent.com/content/resilience-co-ops-101-introduction-co...
If you haven't noticed by now, allow me to point out that in the Resilience Group we're building a resource base for political revolution at the local community level. (And at the personal level.)
* We have a four-part series on Democratic Socialism herehttp://caucus99percent.com/content/local-resilience-democratic-socialism...
* We have this three-part series on the basics of Cooperatives, with many more specific posts planned.
* We have the concrete examples of towns that have transformed themselves into flourishing local resilience:
Totnes, England, the most resilient town in the world and founder of the global Transition Town movement. See here http://caucus99percent.com/content/local-resilience-transition-town-totn...
Wilpoldsried, Germany, which used renewable energy to transform itself into a resilient social-democratic rural town. See here http://caucus99percent.com/content/resilience-democratic-socialism-appro...
If we keep at it, we will collect tons of resources on c99 for folks willing and able to do the work of transforming their local communities. The Community Page will continue to raise consciousness of the iniquities of our corporate-ruled world. And the Resilience Group will continue to build resources for building resilient local communities and resilient individuals to thrive despite the corporatist rule.
As for Part 3 of Co-ops 101, see below.
Shaun King has an article today at the NY Daily News that ravages Hillary Clinton. There is also an embedded video that interviews Ann Selzer about recent polling that is worth watching.
I have virtually stopped writing and read less and less. I feel very alone. I am watching a system fall apart and as I watch the people in it seem to be engaged in even more theater than before.
This is not an election we are watching and maybe participating in. It does not even resemble an election. For years and years some of us have pointed out that our elections are a theater used by the oligarchy to narcotize a television watching audience.
Okay, I am going to try to use a little common sense to discuss why Hillary Clinton should get in trouble for your own private server. The type of trouble should range for government reprimand to potential criminal proceedings. I am not recommending a finding or ruling against her, my case to you is there is something wrong with her using a private server in the first place- lack of common sense.
