I wrote this before I learned about Genocide Joe's nativist executive order closing off asylum for masses of immigrants at the southern border. More and more, this deeply conservative shithead Biden is making it impossible for many decent people to do the LEV thing.
Thanks for saying what I believe many are thinking but are afraid to utter and don't dare write. We have already lost our democracy to the excessively wealthy oligarchs and it will take a mass movement outside the election process to get it back, if it's even possible.
This post got me to thinking about Gregory Bateson's definition of information--"a difference that makes a difference." The prospect of an actual revolution sure is different from the usual politics as usual horseshit, and the information you provide in your books and Substack posts is bound to make a profound difference if human beings can unite in mass and revolt for the common good of all. Thanks for standing up and spreading the knowledge that this is possible--and necessary for Pacha Mama's well being.
Q1: I expect to participate in rallies around the DNC protesting Biden’s policies, the Dems, and more. I might join protests at the RNC, too.
Q2: I’ll be paying attention to the election, perhaps even watching Trump-Biden debates. I am also interested in seeing what response Kucinich gets in his independent campaign to win the general election for a seat in the House representing his home district in or near Cleveland.
Qs 3,4, & 5: After the election? Recently I read — Was it your writing? I should find out where. — our current political system described as a ruling class military conglomerate with multiple governments rather than separate nations/governments with military forces. I support opposition to this current set-up, and that opposition doesn’t have to take a purely revolutionary form.
I won’t be voting for Biden, nor campaigning for other candidates. In the presidential election I expect to vote for the SEP’s Joseph Kishore.
Worse than mediocre! Let us hope that this will be history in the future, and that saner, smarter grounded people are horrified by this villainous, traitorous and ridiculous time of the the chaos we're experiencing.
...see, folks, that's typical in some parts of the US "left."..folks reduced to reflexively charging insanity and the like. Bring up revolution and they lose their shit.
And that’s where you boil it down? You are advocating civil war, deaths of our boys, rapes of our girls. And you advocate this rather than voting and exercising your rights? I cannot stomach you. You need to rethink your wacky position, or else line up to be the first shot. And for all your hubris, you have no idea what you are talking about when you advocate for war. No living American has tasted war on our soil. I hope you enjoy seeing everyone you’ve ever loved killed. You’re a real fool as well as a seditionist.
Ms. Kean you have me confused with someone else. I hope for your former clients' sake that your mental faculties were in better shape when you were employed in the noble occupation of public defender!
It is easy to imagine us raising a noise after a potential Biden election. Iso-late the DNC! No slogan works, but I guess i will burn my pants , am going to need to express the great waste of our attention.

Thank you Paul. And Howard.

Calling for revolution may sound "crazy" but there's something crazier: Not calling for revolution.
Paul, you asked your readers a few questions.

Mark Ames put it succinctly "A corpse vs a felon vs a brainworm. What a system."

Are you out of your mind?

Perhaps you thought I was advocating the revenge neo-Weatherman Helter Skelter response. I wasn't. Read it again.
I would posit that the US has been at war with its African American citizens continuously since 1621.
An empire at birth...
No, you're out of your mind and you don't even know it! Pobrecita.
