The Peace Report
December 17, 2018
Clearly, the Republican party is one of the most dangerous organizations on this planet so I won’t need to convince any reasonable minded person of that argument. Yet, I see an American populace swept up in the Blue Wave in another attempt to reform the Democrat Party. But the Dems are the problem because they pacify the nation and we keep forgetting that they are capitalists. It is fundamental to understand that capitalists will never give up their power, especially through elections. […]

I agree with most of the “Peace Report,” but I have to disagree on one point. I have been voting Democrat in many elections, and I probably will continue to do so in the near future.
I need to clarify: I do NOT believe that the Democrats will save us, or anything like that. I believe the Democrats will continue making things worse — but not quite as fast as the Republicans. For instance, on global warming, it appears to me that the Democrats are trying to end all life on earth by 2050, but the Republicans’ goal is 2030. (I was amazed at how focused Trump has been on destroying the ecosystem.) Thus, voting Democrat might give us a little more time to overthrow both those parties, and capitalism.
Thanks, Lefty.
