From where I stand

From where I stand
"Democracy is the path to Socialism"- so said Karl Marx
Whatever "Ism" you pick, I rather be on the side of the sociopolitical movement that aims for a classless and stateless society structured upon common ownership and responsibility of the means of production and the end of the subsistence existence wage labor that chains people and keeps them in a state of perpetual debt...One that- to paraphrase Marx, expect to get 'from each according to his abilities, and to give to each according to his needs.'
The Republican Tea Party on the other hand, is a savage sociopolitical movement that also aims for the reduction of Government and an eventual stateless society. However, this movement bases its goals upon the permanence of a class difference structured society, one that reveres and bows to the private ownership God of the means of production and the perpetuation subsistence existence low wage labor.
Therefore, both movements aim for reduction and eventual fading away of the Government. However, the path embraced by Marx is through the education, enhancement and bettermen of human kind, while the Republican Tea Party's path to a stateless society is through the perpetuation of class differences, the accumulation of wealth by a few and the deliberate dumbing down of the masses...
Our current system seems to be imploding at seams, much like the old Soviet Union did 20 or so years ago. We've just finished bailing out Wall Street and the nation's banking system; in fact we've been bailing out the Savings and Loans and the private industry for years (the Big Three and the Airlines come to mind) but when we "the people" need a helping hand to recover from Irene or any other Natural Disaster, the Republican Tea Party naturally conditions FEMA's help to yet more cuts in our Social Security Net while cutting taxes for the rich.
So there you have it. You pick: The aberration of CEOs and Executive's million dollar salaries and Wall Street and Bankers bonuses, American Idol, FOX News and the open declaration of 'preemptive' wars, illegal country invasions, wars on Unions and the Middle Class or an open declaration of a Second War on Poverty, a stand for Human and Civil Rights, an Open Immigration, an end to the Bush/Cheney wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the reparation of America's Good Will through the World... call it what you will, the current state of affairs can not stand too much longer.
