Revolution

Revolution:-an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed.

-the overthrow or renunciation of one government or ruler and the substitution of another by the governed.

Usually violent, but it doesn't have to be. The point is to take down the current government and/or political system and replace it with another, usually in a short period of time. The point is FREEDOM from the rich bastards that rule us all.

Declaration of Independence

"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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Revolution, that's what they were talking about. "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another."

It seems damn necessary to me. Those thinking anything will change regarding how we are ruled by playing by their rules are wrong. Worrying about the democratic party, the republican party, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Tulsi "Council on Foreign Relations" Gabbard, it all doesn't matter. The verdict is in, it has become necessary.

Many people are there, more are getting there every day. It's only a matter of time. The trajectory we're on is not slowing and it's not changing. The wealth inequality, the wars, the power of the wealthy, the rich and ultra rich continues to increase with nothing to stop it except We the People, i.e., the demanding of our rights as humans.  

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

"All experience hath shewn" that we'll keep falling for the bullshit of politician after politician until we get Satan himself as President. Maybe then the evils will be sufferable enough to do what needs to be done.

Pretty simple really, it always has been. We're only humans. Those arguing against it are either pawns or fucking traitors. 

No Compromise on U.S. Imperialism

Some things people are not going to agree on. It's going to require some to over power the opinions of others to get what they want. Call it democracy if you will. Take slavery for example. A whole lot of people, even to this day if you can believe it, didn't want slavery abolished. But it was abolished. 
 
As much as half the country didn't want Jim Crow and segregation ended, but it was anyway.

Many people don't want gay marriage, but we have that anyway. Many people don't want marijuana legalized, but we have that anyway. It's getting there anyway.

In the end, what does it boil down to?

It was the right thing to do. It got done regardless the opinions of those opposed because it was the right thing to do.

Did it take the 99% to accomplish it? Of course not, much of the 99% was opposed. So there wasn't solidarity amongst the 99%, but there was solidarity amongst those who were fighting for what was right.

How many does it take? Who knows, but it was a minority of people in each case that got it done. Maybe a majority of the public approved of the change, but a minority of the people did the work to get it done.

American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead once said:

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

Much of the public is either in favor of U.S. imperialism or pragmatically accepting for various reasons or they don't even know what the damn word means.

But ending U.S. imperialism and Empire is the right thing to do. So it's going to get done. It has to get done.  And it's going to get done by a minority of the people, even a small group as Margaret Mead inferred.

It takes people that will not compromise on the issue to get it done. That's how it works. There was no compromise for many on slavery, civil rights for blacks, gay marriage, and marijuana legalization. There can't be compromise or it won't get done. It will take people who will not acquiesce to the duopoly political system and who understand that it has to be done outside the system, by people unwaveringly demanding it AND ACCEPTING NOTHING LESS, not by electing more and better politicians, and continually pretending that THIS ONE will be the one who will be their fucking savior.

We must end U.S. imperialism.  It is crucial to this country and the world.  There can be no compromise on that.  

The Democratic party won't end it.  Donald Trump won't end it.  Bernie Sanders won't end it.  Tulsi "Council on Foreign Relations" Gabbard won't end it. Our political representatives WILL NOT END IT.  So why the fuck is anyone who says they are against imperialism, and the outright the KILLING OF INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS IT ENTAILS, still supporting in any way either of the two political parties and ANY of their politicians?  How fucking hypocritical is that?  It's chickenshit is what it is. 

Only those with the courage can end it and all the killing. 

Progressives Proclaim Mention of Revolution by the 99% is Forbidden

Frequently those of us in the know have pointed out that the duopoly political system, or those behind it, works to stifle independent movements and third party participation. It's done many different ways first and foremost through the perpetual election cycle. No better example than the current democratic party presidential nomination process, which literally started even before Trump took office.

It's become so ingrained and the propaganda so successful that progressives have banned even mentioning the word revolution.

I got banned a couple weeks ago from a blog, Caucus99Percent, which masquerades as a non-partisan political blog, supposedly all for the 99%, even though the owner and most of his scared to shake the boat so the omnipotent owner doesn't ban them active members are certainly democratic party partisans and thus fully on board with the establishment, i.e., the 1%, as much as they bitch and moan about the democratic party leadership.  Hypocritical as hell. They are the perpetuators, the enablers, and supporters of the left that feed this bullshit political system so it never fucking ends.

I got banned because I have consistently called for revolution and/or an independent citizen's movement against the duopoly political system which keeps us divided.  I've called for boycotting the duopoly.  The owner finally got fed up and declared his blog a democratic party blog, one like it's mothership they like to complain about, the Daily Kos, focused on electing more and better democrats.  He directly stated that anything else was foolish and henceforth forbidden on his blog. Check the blog out now, nothing but democratic party all the time with some hasbara like distractions thrown out occasionally by the resident full blooded partisan essayist.

Hey, his choice, true colors and all. It's kind of funny that I could talk like I do for four years and then he decides it is now forbidden. As George Thorogood said, "now he funny too".

But it points out something. The blog owner and his sheeple are so ingrained into the system that they outright reject anything that seeks to overturn the current power structure.  The duopoly's efforts to keep the focus off challenging the oligarchy works so well that those infected readily jettison any who disagree with their support of the election system even while they pretend to be against the establishment. Even while they claim to understand the situation.  It's like they can't go all the way, something prevents them.  And not only that, they will actively work against those that want to - go all the way. Cognitive dissonance to the max.

Maybe they're scared, maybe that's what it's all about.  Scared little sheeple who want everyone to vote for their new favorite democratic party politician and not to start a "violent" revolution.  They don't want anyone to get hurt, not realizing that their assistance in perpetuating this system and voting for democratic war party politicians totally obliterates their rationale.

Like Trump would say,

Sad.
