(48,181 posts)What I do know is that what we are currently doing is getting us absolutely nowhere, and in fact we are moving backwards. Our party is winning the presidency 30% of the time, and basically only to clean up the mess left by the other half of the duopoly, after which it is dismissed and the outright pillage resumes.
I'm a decentralized democratic socialist - a libertarian socialist, although that term confuses people. I want a society that provides an assurance of basic social services for everyone in exchange for our tax dollars, that does not intrude into our private lives in order to enforce other people's moral dictate, that regulates economic activity in order to promote sustainability, safe workplaces, living wages etc. within a market economy. The list goes on. It is pretty much where we left off 40 years ago - back when "the greening of america" seemed possible.
