Reply #1: A Grim assessment of the Forces arrayed against us. [View All]

This won't be easy.

However, I am hopeful.
Many countries in Latin America have successfully taken their governments BACK from the 1%.
They have accomplished nothing short of near bloodless revolutions.

You won't hear about the successes of the 99% in Latin America on the US media,
or from our politicians of either party who work to protect the Status Quo.
The 1%, their Mouthpieces in the Media, and their bought Politicians WILL do their BEST
to DEMONIZE & CONDEMN these many victories of the 99% in Central/South America.

"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales

FDR said much the same thing in 1944 with his Economic Bill of Rights,
but FDR and THAT "Democratic Party" are LONG dead,
killed and co-opted by the DLC and "Centrism" in the late 80s.

So, we have a lot of work to do,
but hold on to hope.
The 99% have many REAL successes in Latin America.
Our neighbors have Lighted the Way,
and given us the Blue Print.
ALL we need is the WILL and Fortitude to Follow Through.
Find the Common Ground,
and spread the WORD among the Working Class & The Poor.
WE outnumber THEM by 99%.

VIVA Democracy!
I pray we get some here SOON!
