If you ask socialists, it means traffic lights and sidewalks will be a thing of the future. If you ask history, the Legislative Branch of United States just rebuffed the Globalist Neocommunist agenda.
So silly to even mention this very remote instance: "...but the digital footprint of Jodi Dean’s attempts to convince all of North America to adopt communism...." Ooooh real scary! You really have to dig to find examples of communist influencers. And, among those few, you're even more hard-pressed to to find one espousing Stalinist or Chinese communism, which you are hoping illiterate Americans will associate with. In fact, the most radical American socialists are very tame compared to their European counterparts and on the whole Europe is way more left/socialist in politics and there ain't nothing wrong with that especially when you look at Europe's record under "extreme socialism" to the very present. AOC/Bernie oooh real scary - what a joke.... Your senate/house gibberish adds zero value to the discussion. Such an odd and ridiculous debate. The socialism/communism boogeyman could only happen in a country as geographically illiterate as this. Almost without exception, the most economically successful countries in the world today, with the highest levels of democracy, are also the most socialistic. Northern and Western Europe, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, etc. And every up-and-coming country in the world wants to emulate Europe's amazing fusion of capitalism and socialism; they are seen as complementing each other, not in opposition. Yes, in Reagan's time, it was great fodder to demonize socialized medicine. Despite years of cherry picking individual horror stories in Europe healthcare, today no one can argue the statistical facts, where, outside of the US's lead in hi tech medical interventions, European countries now blow the US away in every health measure, doing it sometimes at half the cost. That debate is long over, as should be every socialism vs capitalism debate. In addition to the successful economies of the comparably rich European countries (despite way less natural resources and rogue military interventions), they also blow the US away in many other quality of life factors. The world can no longer withstand unrestrained capitalism; socialism and capitalism must be hand-in-hand. With the irrelevance of communism, Repubs, and you here, are keen to replace their old wildly politically effective communism trope - so socialism is now the new communism. And you can bet that DeSantis will be sure to utilize this new resolution to cancel culture the teaching of socialism in schools - so there goes any teaching about Europe or any other world region!
"The value of bringing representatives of the people forward is that bottom-up learning allows a complex process - a distillation, a theatre of competing ideas - allowing the representatives to act as a distributed intelligence network. I don’t mean intelligence as in the CIA: I mean intelligence as being the eyes and ears of local realities and local political climates. Having an earnest interest in others’ viewpoints without fearing loss of one’s own is a sign of emotional and intellectual maturity, and of late, the left-leaning US government has regressed quite a bit into autocratic, top-down influence vs. organic, bottom-up learning, pruning, and growth." Spot on!
I don’t care if the damn Balloon was the size of a softball or super-size Airbus. What I do care about was the “reaction” of both Democrat and Republican parities, our U.S. security agencies and military (similar to 911–in every way—before, during and after). It doesn’t matter where it supposedly originated (same with viruses), either. What matters is the “whole of truths” of it’s construction, purpose and people responsible (which we will never “intelligently” discern after having it destroyed over the ocean—after it traveled over the U.S.). It’s the behavior(s) of our government and mainstream media; the timeline of “discovery & reporting” of the potential security breach to The People prior to it entering into U.S. airspace that’s so maddening. It’s all so bloody stupid, and so are We the People, and I think that’s exactly what really matters to those playing U.S. like clowns in a demented circus produced from Hell.
…but also, and of course, America needs a true, grassroots, democratically-elected, representative government, rather than our current Money-Owned and controlled Left vs. Right Monster.
