Veritas Et Ratio

If you think Obama and the Dems will save the nation from ruination caused by Bush-GOP, think again. "The United States effectively has a one-party system, the business party, with two factions, Republicans and Democrats" [Chomsky]. The Obama-Palin dichotomy served only the wealthy elite rulers who've been promoting race war as a counter to economic class struggle for centuries. As the economy worsens and things unravel the blame game will begin and end on 'the Black guy'. Obama's corporate neoliberal Senate voting track record proved him to be the complete opposite of a liberal, a leftist and a socialist 'right' out of the gate as an economic right moderate conservative.

However if history is any indication our 1 business party of corporatist government rulers may have created sufficient economic misery and disparity to light a fire under enough Americans to put US on the road to revolution against their economic policy of fascism called corporatism. Don't believe all the NeoLiberal-NeoLibertarian propagandist lies [like the 90% polled believe in left survey block below] spread across all media blaming today's economic disaster on 'socialism'. It was NeoLib [NeoLiberal and NeoLibertarian] economic right policies that championed the 'free market hoax' accompanied by a host of deregulation policies over the last 3 decades that created this economic disaster. Without regulatory controls in place, there is no free market. There’s no such thing as socialism in a capitalist driven economy and there's no socialism without workers controlling the means of production.

Rather than referencing the Bush era's $8.5 Trillion in Corporate Bailouts as some awkward economic ideology called ‘socialism for the rich’, call it what it is, Corporatism, which is the economic policy of Fascism! Those Bush-era bailouts fully adopted the very same economic policies of corporatism embraced by Italian and German Fascist governments back in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Famous Italian historian Gaetano Salvemini identified corporatism as an economic policy of fascism in 1936 that makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise, because "the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise. Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social."

Unrest amongst the working and middle classes by itself has never been enough to spark revolution. Revolutions need leaders which have most always come from professional and educated intellectual classes enjoying designated power from comfortable ties to the upper classes. When disaffected intellectuals have a common cause with the lower classes, revolution becomes almost inevitable. Revolutions always follow in the wake of national economic disaster from inept and corrupt government mismanagement to the point of indebtedness, bankruptcy, and currency collapse.

The frustration of an entire nation now in ruination from radical Neo-Theo Conservative rule with a Neoliberal economic right policy of corporatism over the last 3 decades created a desperate need for the transformative "hope" and "change" promised by a newly elected president. But "talk is cheap" and "actions speak louder the words". Mere talk of "hope and change" will no longer suppress the proletariat revolution brewing in America today to overthrow the 10% wealthy elite owning over 90% of America's wealth and resources...
