Here's how to change the world

[RainDog]

13. So how are you going to change the world?

I think socialism, btw, is experiencing a resurgence, esp. among younger voters. As Reagan "democrats" die off, there will be fewer democrats to uphold that end of the ideological spectrum. Right wingers, of course, are disproportionately among the American population, but even they prefer more egalitarian wealth distribution - they just deny that taxation is how this is achieved. They resist information that goes against their ideology of the "individual" - in spite of the reality that ideology is a sham in all sorts of ways.

Are you saying nothing can be changed?

Don't we have examples of change from the New Deal - and isn't the history of the U.S. since the New Deal a history of reactionary actions?

We don't have a "one way" direction for action, but, certainly, we do have a concentration of power and wealth among a very few. This is why I said, among their peer group, those who don't want violent insurrection need to model behavior that precludes the same.

That's what FDR did, in fact.
