Socialist Progressives

even though running for US president is not a revolutionary act, and I'm skeptical about electoral politics being able to change anything. I actually do hope he gets in and becomes the next FDR--not because I want to save capitalism, but just because I want to eat and not lose my benefits and be thrown out in the street, at least for a while. Capitalism is falling apart anyway, in part because of new technology that is increasingly eliminating wage labor, the basis of capitalism. No labor, no value. If nobody has work, nobody will be able to buy goods. The capitalists are going to run out of markets. I don't even think an FDR can save it this time. Maybe we can have social democracy for a while (and I actually do hope we can get that, because otherwise it's going to be ugly), but I think the only place we have to go is socialism. I fear we are heading towards fascism myself.
