I've expended the time and effort to lay out what should be regarded as a thought provoking argument that the country is in the grip of authoritarian leaning special interests. I lean on the experience and research of Lamont, Mills, and the more contemporary Chambliss to support the ideas that there is no leftist counter influence to the military, corporatist, law n order penal systen driven conservative capitalism invested in permanent rearmament. I point out that in such a climate, dksuddeth is a reasonable voice.....e tu...Ustwo, what are you doing? Is it sincerely discussing, or is it your usual?
on edit...don't you find it the least bit odd that there isn't a REAL left reacting to what I've described? Is a country with the highest per capita incarceration rates in the world, with 1/3 of all black males in the justice system, with a Gini # of 46.9, a foreign policy like ours, and treatment like Lamont and Black Panther party leaders received from authorities....does that seem like a place without a left? What other countries have politics devoid of a committed left faction? The names on a list them would be an eye opener.....
