The list of bills passed by the House since Biden took office LOOKS very impressive. However, I believe that these bills represent performative staged politics on the House's part because they know full well that the bills will not be passed in the Senate. Both sides of Congress take money from the same big interest groups, such as the NRA. It's a good guy-bad guy game.

How do you launch a revolution when apathy runs deep in the American physique?

Look at all the intellectual dissents that this country has had. Zinn, Chomsky, Nader, Hedges, Street, Klein, and so many more haven't been able to alter the American way of thinking.

I read somewhere that sometimes it merely involves a minor event that can cause a revolution but do we have that luxury when people's rights are being taken away exponentially and the environment collapses around us?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but we need a National General Strike. Of course, a world strike would be better, but near impossible to muster that many people so that we can convey to the oligarchs that we want what is suitable for our sustainability and the world.

Paul, you should write columns on topics other than the Republican Fascist take over of our undemocrate country, Weimer Republic Democrats and the ban on abortion. Even though these are very important I would like to read a markist analysis of other revelevant issues such as our economy and international events.
