What we’re about
Our Constitutional Republic is failing. The government is no longer “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” It is of the mega rich, by the mega rich, and for the mega rich.
“Workers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains.”
If you have heard or read this phrase before then you are familiar with the Communist Manifesto of Karl Marx. If you are familiar with communism then you are familiar with its history. If you are familiar with its history then you are familiar with its failures. Capitalism on the other hand has provided innovation and prosperity for so long yet we are now living through what will be the history of its failure. There is something better than both. Have you heard of Social democracy? It is the middle way between socialism and capitalism.
Could you imagine a future where it may succeed in this country? A new and better system that, when aided by our advanced technology of today, would ensure a more equitable distribution of wealth and prosperity for all?
In this group we will discuss the current state of affairs of our world, this country specifically. We will learn and debate the best means of moving forward to a freer and better future for the working class. I invite people of all backgrounds and beliefs to come together and envision a future with less division and more unity, with less oppression and more liberty. We must not let them divide and oppress us. By them I mean the people in power, and as you know in our world Money=Power. So we must take back power from those who hoard and extract the riches we produce for them. We are headed into a terrible new chapter of our history where the citizens of this country are seen as capital to be owned and controlled. We are no longer the United States of America, we have become “The United Corporations of America.” Social democracy is the only defense against the authoritarian monopoly that is our government.
Remeber, The Declaration of Independence says…
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.--That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
