An eco-socialist/democratic world government informed by the ecological view in all endeavors is humanity's, and all other species' for that matter, only hope for survival. The arrangements we have now, anthropocentric and capitalist to the max, are guaranteed to extinct every last living thing, except maybe a few fungal forms that might thrive in the midst of all the death and destruction. The corporatized, bourgeois capitalist elites aren't going to suddenly become enlightened and voluntary begin the process of dismantling the apparatus of relentless exploitation of Nature and the structures of Empire and its protocols of permanent war. And it isn't likely that the worshippers of the "tangerine-tainted transgressor" will be miraculously restored to sanity and become a movement of eco-poets in the service of Ethos and Aphrodite. No, their God is Death and their goal is the death of all that is profound, beautiful, and sacred. Under such conditions, REVOLT is the only option for men and women with their feet on the ground of our collective being, this beautiful blue globe of spinning rock and fire whirling through space, our beloved Pacha Mama, Earth Mother, the womb of life! A Las Barricadas!

Another excellent Report Paul. I shared it on Bill Astore's substack site 'Bracingviews' with this intro,

Watching Trump's 2016 Election Campaign from CanaDa, I thought he was preaching NIHILISM and with the benefit of hindsight, that understanding is borne out Today.

There's no doubt the notion of "American Carnage" Trump introduced in his Inaugural Presidential speech has taken root and is now displaying itself in Politics and on American Streets in big cities and small towns.

With that lingering personal opinion, I relate to the latest Paul Street Report on substack, 'The New United States Civil War is Heating Up'

On Bourgeois-Democratic Indictments, Fascist Reaction, and the Need for Revolution.

Paul puts meat on the bones of what I saw in 2016 starting this way, so you may have some clue what to expect? While he starts with Trump, Democrats are not spared....................................
