Unfortunately, we continue to see folks predicting that the United States will intensify its military aggression against Iran. Of course the Democrats did nothing to stop the war in Iraq and it is rather obvious that the both Obama and Clinton will continue the war just as much as McCain will. Of course the routing and military defeat of U. S. forces
would spoil their plans much as it did in Vietnam.
Considering the right-wing tenor of the debates the two democratic candidates have with each other it is impossible to be critical of third party candidates. Neither party and no candidate has much to offer the average American, the working American, Joe Sixpack, the hoi polloi.
The soaring costs and dramatic declines in our standard of living are essentially ignored by these ivy league snobs who accuse one another of
being impolite about something. Each seeks to prove his or her adeptness at serving the same capitalist system that is destroying our vital ecosystems today. The only thing real about the debate is the almost visible leash each candidate has about her neck leading to the hand of big money and big investors. "WILL WORK FOR BIG MONEY"
is stamped on their collars. Arf!
Of course Clinton has really played the subtle white supremacist and male baiter with some finesse. Still, every time you step on a cracker you hear it crack and that is the way it has always been with the blacker than black Clinton cult. Obama is obviously being crucified by the patriotic right-wing "invade the world" racists and those, like Clinton, who pander to their prejudices.
Nor will the endless crimes of Bush and Cheney be prosecuted by this Congress or any regime run by Obama or Clinton. It is a very cozy two party dictatorship and justice might screw up the duopoly. No one of a progressive ilk will let this issue lie.
Bush and Cheney, like Pinochet and Fujimori need to be fully prosecuted for their crimes. Permanent organizations need to be established to pursue justice in these matters.
Of course the Obama and Clinton supporters who are naive and really hope for an end to imperialist war and really want to see women liberated and the chains of racial and national oppression broken, all these people should be worked with to see through the lies once they are
more thoroughly exposed in the case of Obama, a sort of stealth candidate with a very sparse track record.
The point is that progressives should be promoting and fostering revolutionary and radical reformist ideas while organizing inside and outside the two parties to raise political consciousness in every sector of
the working and other oppressed folk. Permanent and semi-permanent institutions need to be buillt by the democratic revolutionary self-organization of the people. Parallel popular institutions should be created that can do what big business and capitalism can not, foster human liberty in a liberated society. Furthermore, the organized people can engage in production for their own use.
Neither candidate seems to notice the lack of true democracy. They pretend the two party system is democracy but it is not the democracy or the working an other oppressed people. It is a democracy of the rich and for the rich. Of course Obama and Clinton are just excellent self-promoters who cut others down with similar skill. They are fabulous fundraisers who serve the rich and powerful. They have as much to do with the average American as any other millionaire or billionaire, next to nothing if that.
Both Obama and Clinton demonstrate a complete ideological servility to the big investors and owners of society and the world today. "YES BOSS!" is their underlying political slogan whatever they say to us, the "rubes". They are confident that American workers will never independently organize themselves. Of course the legal framework for labor in the United States is like a prison cell, one of their favorite solutions to problems like real democratic input, prisons.
Will Bush-Cheney launch air strikes on Iran? They are already bombing Iraq daily. Yes, they are bombing Iraq in much the same way they bombed South Vietnam. Its the same old crap it was back then, U. S. Imperialism trying to dominate the world by bombing it.
What are the slogans that all the candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties share? BOMB AND IMPRISON". But don't forget you have the freedom to wear a flag lapel pin or not, and be crucified for it when you don't!
Will Bush-Cheney strike out at multiple nations one bright morning? In an undemocratic society like the United States this is not impossible.
Indeed it has been happening for decades and centuries. Will he use nuclear weapons? I think mere notification of Congress by the President that he is bombing Iran constitutes presidential dictatorship.
If Obama or Clinton really cared about progressive ideas and values they
very probably wouldn't be candidates for the White House! The "YES BOSS" vetting took place long ago!
So who are the agents of democratic change in society? Not the two
parties of big money and big government working with and for big money. No, they are our keepers and our oppressors.
