We need to stop being so timid. Speak your mind!
Trump and the Republicans, along with many Democrats, are resorting to red-baiting and anti-Communism along with vicious attacks on socialism that are nothing but lies.
They are doing this hoping to bully people into silence and to head off any discussion about socialism being an alternative to capitalism.
It is up to socialists to bring socialism into the public square and to explain the solutions socialists have to all of these problems.
This becomes even more important as the capitalist economy is headed towards a severe economic crash.
Wall Street knows this crash is coming and instead of doing what is required to prevent this economic disaster, because the richest of the rich further enrich themselves from the hard times they force upon us, they want a tyrant like Trump in power to control the people.
We are in a terrible mess.
On the one hand we are confronted with climate change; on the other hand we are confronted with an economy about to go to hell. And on top of this we have a Wall Street bribed government which thinks it can dictate and bully the rest of the world to conform to Wall Street’s agenda which sets us up for more of these never-ending dirty imperialist wars.
This is capitalism.
The alternative is socialism; a cooperative socialist commonwealth based on peace where jobs are created solving the problems of people and society in a way that is in harmony with Mother Nature.
Working people are going to have to give some serious thought to the situation we are in.
Working people are going to have to stop being so timid.
Working people are going to have to begin bringing forward real solutions to our problems- the reforms we need to survive as we prepare the way for ending capitalism and getting us on the road to socialism.
