but hell I'm a geezer. But the struggle for greater justice and equality is an unstoppable force. The very shrillness of the Neoliberal hate machine shows their fear it is the dying gasp of a wounded and cornered animal.
What amazes me is how many are willing to give up after they invested a few minutes in dropping a piece of paper in a box and they didn't get what they wanted.

The whole right wing thing makes me think of Pope Pius description of Nazis-"miserable plagiarists who dress up old errors in new tinsel." They have nothing to offer the many except bombast and hate so they use it. Arthur Blair (George Orwell) knew this well. This is what the two minutes of hate was about in 1984. He never stopped being a socialist because the Stalinist gave it a bad name. I just hope we don't have to go through some kind of violent bloodbath to achieve results.

The young people I work with today have progressed way beyond the narrow focus of Party and us versus them and have a genuine vision of a better world and believe it is within their reach. Teach your children well and set an example
of never giving up.
