Until such a time as a socialist revolution seems plausible, I still prefer to see progressive liberals in power over conservatives.

plausible?

u.s. is in near-freefall.

Every day we are settung precident for what we will and will not tolerate. Not pulling the lever on socialist revolution keeps us on track for tyranical feudalism.

We can make it plausible or sleep in the graves corprate is ordering us to dig for ourselves.

Pardon the passions, folks who have already worked out their character sheet and place in the effort.

thanks for your efforts!

more of us than one might think. and we don't always need all diehard lefties to fight for Wages Hours and Conditions.

Anyway -- something important to keep in mind is that a hard left turns are fought with gardens and tools and 'barn'(etc) raisings even more than demonstrations or violence.

Labor movement, black panthers, and zapatistas are worth a quick study for grassroots practices.
