Reply #57: Maybe the DLC strategy is to destroy the Democratic Party from within. [View All]

[Zorra]

Imagine this scenario:

Very, very megawealthy transnational corporations wanted complete control of our government.

They hired some really smart folks to figure out the best way to do this.

These really smart folks told the very, very, megawealthy transnational corporations that they needed to make the Democratic Party ineffective as an opposition party to the party that the corporations already owned, which is, of course, the republican party.

So, they financed the DLC in order to take over the Democratic Party, all the while planting their corporate friendly republican moles here and there.

The busy little moles dug under the dirt and went to work in their dark little holes.

By rendering the Democratic Party ineffective due to the DLC stranglehold, transnational corporations accomplished three primary objectives:

1) They insured that most corporate friendly legislation would get passed.
2) They insured that Federal Courts would be stacked with corporate friendly jurists.
3) They insured that the Democratic Party, and no third party, could ever effectively challenge the two party system. By turning the Democratic Party into a pseudo-opposition party, they eliminate any possibility of any genuinely effective democratic political opposition to corporate control of the nation.

So maybe Joe, and the other DINO(s) are just so much more effective as a corporate moles. They're on the inside. When and where they're needed, when the time is right in a critical situation, they slip the knife in, and kill any legislation or other action that is not corporate friendly.

So they can vote Democratic 90% of the time, and still convince most people that they are Democrats, and corporations maintain control of our government, leaving those poor ol' real Democrats wondering why they can't seem to ever make the changes necessary to regain genuine democracy and create a government that actually does the right things all the time for people, the nation, and the planet.

"The global power of the financial centers is so great, that they can afford not to worry about the political tendency of those who hold power in a nation, if the economic program (in other words, the role that nation has in the global economic megaprogram) remains unaltered. The financial disciplines impose themselves upon the different colors of the world political spectrum in regards to the government of any nation. The great world power can tolerate a leftist government in any part of the world, as long as the government does not take measures that go against the needs of the world financial centers. But in no way will it tolerate that an alternative economic, political and social organization consolidate. For the megapolitics, the national politics are dwarfed and submit to the dictates of the financial centers. It will be this way until the dwarfs rebel . ."
