Greetings good citizen, it occurred to me that one of the problems related to blogging about political topics is there isn't a 'lexicon' that spans both ages and classes.
I know what I'm trying to convey but do you understand me?
Yesterday I pointed out the ridiculousness of political parties, 'alluding' to the fact there is no longer a political party that 'represents' the 'regular people'. Both 'traditional' parties now belong to the One Percent and whatever 'factions' reside within them [either real or imagined.]
A vast majority of the public wants major infrastructure overhaul with an emphasis on DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED alternative energy. [Can I get a Hell Yeah!?]
But no, the One Percent's 'captive' political party candidates only want to talk about war and the nebulous cause of making Murika 'Great' again, (whatever the hell THAT'S supposed to mean?)
If you've gotten the impression that the 'larger conversation' has been, er, 'squelched' by the interests of the One Percent, you'd be RIGHT [in more ways than ONE!]
Like many nations before it...probably at least part of the reason NATIONS EXIST is because the self-interested few shut the rest out of the 'public conversation' and it becomes a monologue instead of a vehicle for discussion.
Nixon instituted wage/price controls but the 'owner class' didn't like the restrictions this placed on earnings [and remember the largest gains in CEO compensation have come not in increased sales but in decreased payroll expense.
What the boss didn't pay YOU in turn got paid to HIM!
But I digress. Once again the difficulty lies in connecting issues in a way you will understand the relationships! [And trust me, there is a whole 'cadre of the guilty' out there that's hoping you remain ignorant of their crimes forever!]
Parties were originally formed to 'represent' artifical differences that had their roots in religion. The ability to choose 'YOUR way of thinking' provided a rallying point which soon overtook reason...and Party Affiliation became 'hereditary'.
Naturally, workers/democrats outnumbered plutocratic 'Calvinists' so politics [briefly] were dominated by Democrats.
But money makes the world go round so the 'Conservatives' [preservers of the status quo] 'defunded' the Democrats and started recruiting 'opportunists' to run as pseudo 'opposition' candidates and today's "One Note Song" is the result.
Hand in hand, the 'illusion of representation' is coupled to the 'illusion of participation'.
Sick of being DUPED?
Don't VOTE in their 'fixed' elections, Vote with your feet and STRIKE!
A better world awaits!
Thank you for letting me insie your head,
