just come out and say it: "there are would-be nazis among you."
in fact, nathaniel bush, dubya's grandfather, was a nazi sympathizer, that's why the family moved from connecticut to texas after the war. never any shortage of thugs yearning to be free, in the usa. for now, they have to make do with joining the local police force.
'what is to be done?' lenin's rhetorical question at least had an answer, however dubious. for the usa, perhaps there is no answer: the bad guys were in power at the beginning, and clever enough to make change near impossible.
chris hedges is slightly optimistic, he thinks revolution might be possible some day. damned if i can see it. there is time pressure--- the climate collapse now in train is beginning to exert an economic pressure in most nations, which will only get worse. it may cause wars which are so catastrophic that it relieves pressure on the environment, but that is the kind of 'solution' which may be its own extinction.
the right path is simple: get democracy, use it to create socialist societies which invest heavily in green power, and don't waste money on war. what could be easier?
in practice, h. sap. doesn't seem to be that smart.
