The Populist Reforms sweeping across South/Central America gives me "hope" for The World.
Of course, these reforms are unreported or demonized in the US Media,
and demonized by politicians from BOTH major political parties.
"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales
FDR said much the same thing in 1944 with his
Economic Bill of Rights.
Bolivian President
Evo Morales sounds more like FDR than anyone in the Democratic Party Leadership.
VIVA Democracy!!!!
I pray we get some here soon!
"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.
I want a party that will stand up for working Americans."
