Revolutionary democracy

This is something I think the US needs desperately.  Some may call this Anarchy, or Socialism or whatever you want–it does not matter the title; what matters is that we need it now.

Revolutionary Democracy

What is it?  How does it work?  Before I answer these and other questions, I need to let the reader know that as an observer, I write like I think, I have no time to be grammatically correct, so if for some reason it offends the readers sensibilities, I would say……..Okay.

Please, because the word “revolutionary” is used it is not necessarily meaning some form of armed conflict.  If one cannot move past some arbitarily defined word, then move on, we do not need your input.

I am a revolutionary democrat.  That does not mean I am a member of the Democratic party, far from, it means that I see a need for drastic changes in our system of government.  While I might agree with some of the stances of the DP, I should by no means be confused for a lame half-witted politico.  A revolutionary democrat sees the following as necessities:

1–aim for fundamental change. such as a redistribution of power and social equality.

2–insist on the big picture, making connections between concrete issues and causes.

3–emphasize brotherhood which implies giving up on stands that only fragment such as the damn silly thought of partisanship.

4–the emergence of a mass movement rather than the acting “for” the people.

5–to work outside the box of electoral politics, for the party system is committed to the nation state not the needs of the people.

Revolutionary Democracy sees the multinational corporations, imperialism and a new form of colonialism as the harbingers of a world crisis.  It is time for the people to take control of their lives and their country.  The people must demand and get accountability from their representatives, something they have none of today.  Time for the people to step up to the plate and learn to play ball; to take the decision making out of the hands of millionaires and put into the hands of the people.  A time for participatory democracy, where all lead and all govern.

At the present time in this political epoch, with corruption, scandal and non-caring, the reps you now have are nothing but spokespeople for big business and the wealthy.  They only care about the people every 4 years or so, once they have the vote they move on to their real objective–self-interest.
As long as the people continue on their path of subjugation, they will never have a voice in their destiny, just turn it over to those who prefer to lead and will lead to the path of ruin.

Right now, the people have the ways to take back their country and their government, but they must want to change the world and must want to end the political slavery they are now participating in.

An insurrection in the name of democracy.
