It is time to reclaim America

It is my honest, and total and belief, that the political state of America has been for a number of years hijacked by a Right Wing agenda that it's people do not support. Fueled by capital, a bipartisan system of two right wing parties, a media that is constantly far to the right of the American people, through the lack of choice, through outright lies, through bribery and threat and indoctrination, the forces of money and state power have piece by piece stolen America from its people and its ideals.

I dont mean that the American people are fundamentally Democrat rather than Republican, there is no majot ideological difference between the two parties, which are both conservative and love capital and hate the working class - the American elections are merely elections of personalities, not principles, not policies, not ideology.

It is my belief that:

The majority of American people do not want to outlaw gay marriages, they say that people should be free to marry who the wish and the state doesnt have the right to stop them

The majority of American people support a free choice for women with regards to abortion, they acknowledge that the state does not have the right to tell women what to do with their own bodies, and that all women should be supported in taking this most difficult choice.

The majority of American people believe that wealthy corporations and individuals should pay more tax than people struggling to get by.

The majority of American people, while they support their troops, believe in peace, they do not want to fight in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kora, Vietnam, or anywhere else. The American people understand that the only just war is a war of self defence, and that conquest is never just.

The American people believe in and support universal health care for all, funded by the state, from the cradle to the grave.

The American people want more funding on their school system which is struggling terribly, rather than more cruise missiles.

The American people believe in welfare, in unemployment insurance, in helping the homeless get back on their feet, in religious and cultural freedom for all people of all colour and creeds.

These are the ideals which made America the greatest and most powerful nation in the world, these are the ideals which drew millions of immigrants to America, to start a fresh,to live from Year Zero.

These are the ideals of the people, and no presidential candidate from either main party has ever supported these ideals, not in the lifetime of any poster on this board. The forces of capital have captured America, but it can be reclaimed, it must be reclaimed for America to remain what it set out to be.

A land of opportunity and freedom, not patriot acts and the jack boot. A land of enterprise and creativity, not the sweat shop and the fat cat corporation, a land of beauty not a land of pollution, a land of the free rather than the land of the fearful.

The American people reject utterly the crooked Washington stuffed shirts that are shoved before them every 4 years, that is why so many people dont bother to vote, and those who do often do so on basic prejudices, media manipulation, or family tradiotion. They reject the two corporate parties, the reject the trail of dirty money that feeds these beasts, they reject the billionaires, the gangsters, who have taken over their country. It is time for all American people who love peace, justice, freedom, enterprise, freedom from exploitation, freedom from the police state, the nanny state, the jack boot, the spook in the dark suit from the Anti-American Activities board... it is time to not just reject these ideals which sicken the stomach of the working class, but to constructively begin to rebuild a new America, an America that excludes the likes of Enron, Haliburton, Bush, Cheney, Clinton and Kerry and the rest of the swine who tussle to dip their snouts in the trough.

Maybe it will not happen tomorrow, but soon, a fight is coming, between the working people of America and the forces of the state and capital, and already the tools of domination and terror melt from the hands of the state, already the people go stronger and more confident... within ten years , twenty certainly, the capitalist state of America shall fall and replaced by the people's republic of America. This is not hyperbole, this is not me trying to goad people or start a debate, this is WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN... the American people can no longer tolerate a leadership, capital and the state, whose actions are so alien to the American way of life, to human deceny, to the interests of all working class people.
