Revolution and why we need one.

I don't trust Sanders. He was totally ok with living in a Kabutz that was on land stolen from indigenous Palestinians who had been killed or driven from their land..

If you're willing to read more of history you'll realize that just about every inch of this planet has been wrenched from some older civilizations dead hands. Is it right? Probably not, but what are the inhabitants of a bloodsoaked planet supposed to do other than make the best of it?

I'd be pretty shocked if Sanders was in favour of the butchering of Palestinians, and it does everyone a disservice to suggest he is by volunteering for a few months abroad in a brand new socialist commune. If it's an issue you hold dear, might I recommend a mission to Palestine?

Fucking people are frustrating. I don't know. Maybe we need some tactical ninjas to take down all the cell towers, the satellite receivers, the broadcasting system's technical doo dads and give people some peace and quiet from all the media noise. That's my little fantasy anyway. Also give people some rest from the whip at their back day in and day out. Only then can people really even have the time to reflect and move towards any real revolution of thought. Too many distractions, too many confusions and not enough time to get clarity for most people living the norm in a first world country.

Sorry I'm no fan of B. Sanders. I think the guy is a fake progressive. But someone I really do respect is Chris Hedges. C. Hedges said about B. Sanders, "He's an AIPAC windup doll, like the rest of them." If your curious to hear C. Hedges, try keywording: Chris hedges Bernie Sanders mintpressnews.. ..

Read up on Hedges some, and specifically about Bernie. Thanks for the new perspective!

It is my belief that what we need instead of a revolution (normally violent, witch hunting and destruction) is an evolution ( peaceful progress, healing world view, sympathy and empathy, and MORALS). in times of chaos followers are going to seek out a leader, and Psychopaths love to lead other people. We might end up going straight from oiligarchy to dictatorship. Or socialism, which always leads to poverty, famine, and genocide invariably. Because that ideology is very popular for some reason, in the US

I agree completely with this post. 2017 had been a hell of a year. Nazis marching in the streets beating people, hurricanes, forest fires, Fascist president, etc. Our world is literally falling apart.

Pft... There has always been an aristocracy, always will be. In every attempt, in every political/ideological/spiritual revolution there ever was or ever will be, somebody skirts the rules and claws to the top.

Humans seek power and status instinctively and will corrupt any system aimed at suppressing that urge.

Orwell nailed it in 1984, how does one man show power over another? By making him suffer. Want to know the future? Imagine a military boot stamping on a human face forever.

Luckily it won't be going on much longer, nasa mathematicians already figured out complete collapse of all western civilizations (and thus all economic systems) is all but unavoidable and isn't too far away.

Robert E. Howard had some great thoughts on that...

• Barbarism is the natural state of mankind. Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph.
• When a nation forgets her skill in war, when her religion becomes a mockery, when the whole nation becomes a nation of money-grabbers, then the wild tribes, the barbarians drive in... Who will our invaders be? From whence will they come?
