Yes, I know, there are some things here that will make some "regular Dems" get their backs up.

But this is a great speech, and we can learn from it.

It can help point the way forward in many places.

"This is the reality of international capitalism. This is the product of the gigantic casino of speculation created by the highway robbers on Wall Street. In this system the market is God, and everything is sacrificed on the altar of profit. Capitalism has failed the 99%.

Despite recent talk of economic growth, it has only been a recovery for the richest 1%, while the rest of us are falling ever farther behind."

Capitalism is doomed. What will replace it?
