Oh yes. The Green Party. Just look at what they've done in Germany. Not mere capitalists, but blood thirsty warmongers to boot. I'm sure Jill is nice, but mild reforms aren't going to do the trick this time. Try harder. Perhaps read a book on the French or Russian Revolution. That's what I'm interested in.
I think it is imperative to even "re-invent" what a Revolution is, no model of before apply today. This is why Education was and is so poor officially in every country: without an inner deep transformation, without humans free and balanced, what it will be projected in the world?
What you think is all well and good. But, we are living within a particular socioeconomic system and history is our best guide. It's a bit like military strategy. You see what has been tried before and how it worked. You can't just dismiss history and material reality because you are not comfortable with it. Which raises the question: what do you disagree with in terms of the Russian Revolution or the French Revolution?
They were not perfect, of course. What is it that makes you reject that material history of class struggle? Oh, and how should we "reinvent the idea" of revolution?
Yes, the French and Russian revolutions were not perfect. Far from it. The bourgeois French revolution has endured more or less, the Russian working class revolution lasted less than a century before devolving into just another bourgeois state. So we need to look critically at every aspect of the Russian revolution in particular to determine its flaws and avoid them in future. I could suggest a few. The whole idea of "class struggle" is problematic. The suppression of religion was a grave and arguably fatal mistake. The ideological claim of the Bolshevik party to be the only begotten son of the working class. We could go on, but the mistakes were many, in both ideology and the forms of political institutions of the revolution in its maturity.
I am not dismissing anything. This other two experiences where multilayered actions to transform opressive situations, with not only one direction of thinking and even one only perspective of which goal to achieve, were very conflictive field of battle, with forces from within aims to manipulate the energy into very particular directions. I am not trying here to do a deep analyze, only to drop the idea that would be great to not intent to copy, but to even bring new elements to the struggle for a revolution and to consider even more the particular persons, their inner world, and at the same time, to remember that a real deep educational system (and not the actual general system of education who is trying to formatize the mind of the people to adapt to a system who will kill their creative energy and their intuition, to fulfill the necessitys of the system itself), an educational system (or perhaps no-system) to help every individual to develop the best of their capacitys, the own knowledge and creative capacitys....how revolutionary itself it would be, and to which society it would drive!
Well, it sounds like you do reject aspects of those revolutions, but you won't state it in any clear terms. The closest I found was this, "and even one only perspective of which goal to achieve". What do you think the goal of a revolution--on this planet, in this reality, mind you--should be?
The impression I get from your comments is that you don't know enough about either historical episode to provide a critique, yet you dismiss them as flawed out of hand. That indicates you suffer the default consciousness of the ruling class, which is quite common. You've accepted what they have told you of these episodes in their schools, television programs and Internet sites. The ruling class has a great army of intellectuals precisely to ensure nobody looks at these heroic instances of class struggle in a clear light, but rather as nightmares which should never be repeated. Again, try harder. History and humanity demand it today.
I think they have been trying to keep Biden chugging along to be able to dump Clinton back onto the ticket at the last minute. That way she wouldn't have to campaign, because she is horrible at it, and couldn't be bothered with all those deplorables anyway. That is also why they have been trying so hard to get rid of Trump, so she doesnt have to go toe to toe with him. She has been bragging that she talks to the Whitehouse everyday, and they are all her people..Blinken, Sullivan, Nuland etc. She is probably running the show more than anyone at this point. Nuland may have actually been seconded to Hillary for this specific project. Will she show up at the DNC convention with her bag of cookies? Just a hunch.
To put it bluntly and colloquially, with a touch of Galloway spice, The EU and US "elites" couldn't find their own backsides with both hands! And I think Genocide Joe will be gently ushered off-stage. Money talks and b.s. walks in the USA
The real owners of the power (behind the puppets "in charge") were trying to sustain their perfect "ally" (this strange creature called "Biden"), even when in the last 2 years more and more he was as catch in his way to the toilette after awake in the ICU... And this is the most pathetic "selfie" of the western autocracys, I suspected as manipulated by the very same owners of the multifacetic "empire" in plain fall, sinking as the overdimensioned Titanic it is.
More worrying than the demential governmental theater imposed at the both side of the Atlantic, it is the no-reaction of the "main citizens" against the pathological tyrannical rule "in crescendo", the draconian measures when about to impose civil right restrictions at the illusion of "helth crisis" or blatant repression when moral folks act to defend "Palestina" and its life and obvious rights against an horde of demented killers (just the expression of the powers unleashing and protecting them).
How organize a global reaction to this hudge madness? Because it is this crazyness without borders the daily perception and suffering of the people in every corner of the world who are awake and taking action to stop it ... but still not enough people decided to do it.
The world as it was sold culturally to us for generations, was a hollywood picture, and today, the illusion turn into ashes , revealing an overwhelming western morally dead, sadist and unbearable stupid...
It must be the case (as you suggest ) in the US the axiom that the whole puerile vicious insane show is run by a tightly knitted bunch of the super rich or oligarchy must at last be plainly obvious to a majority of the American public despite their paucity of information on this disaster known to them as "American Democracy" which as indoctrinated serfs they know is exclusive to America and the best in the world. How much longer can this mirage be sustained before the ungrateful plebs weld themselves into an ungovernable mob of steel to shred the system and its curators. But first it seems they will have to endure and survive the tenure of Donald Trump a wild card dealt to the Oligarchs by the God of Mamom.
The urgent necessity for continuous election and the open ballot throughout the western world is illustrated nowhere better than in the United States. With an open ballot there would be no possibility of electoral fraud, or of false allegations of electoral fraud. With continuous election we would be spared Joe Biden's catastrophic election campaign.
The fundamental problem is not Biden's dementia. It is the fact that the political establishment refuses to acknowledge his condition, claiming that he is "sharp as a tack" and fit to be president for another four years. Congressional Speaker Kevin McCarthy testifies that Biden is “very professional, very smart, very tough” in private meetings. Biden's inner circle echo that assessment. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon both express their confidence in Josesph Biden's capacity to "rule the world" (as Biden himself puts it). Yet Biden is a man who confuses Iraq and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, and, perhaps most astonishingly, his political adversary Donald Trump and his own vice-President Kamala Harris. Eight billion people know that Biden is suffering from dementia, they have seen and heard the evidence with their own eyes and ears, yet they are powerless to act against the wishes of the US political establishment. With continuous election this situation would be quickly corrected, in fact with continuous election this situation would never have arisen. The American people, given the opportunity, would not allow their country and the world to be brought into grave jeopardy by the joint phenomena of natural cognitive decline and the chicanery of political cliques.
"But how do all of us, the other 99.9%, deserve them?"
We don't. Next question, how do we get rid of them and their system without a revolutionary party in a post democratic, authoritarian west?
Join a revolutionary party, the Green Party, and vote Jill Stein https://jillstein2024.com/platform
Oh yes. The Green Party. Just look at what they've done in Germany. Not mere capitalists, but blood thirsty warmongers to boot.

So the concept of class struggle is problematic for you Geoff? In these times? See you on the other side of the barricade, dildo.
