This is over a week old, but I think it deserves another go-around. Sabby Sabs finally convinced me that, yes, Bernie Sanders is a sheepdog for the oligarchs that he is pretending to campaign against.

I don't want a return to The Old Normal, full of war crimes, inequality, ecocide, etc. I want an end to both plutocracy parties. But I give Trump-Musk points for originality: It's rare for POTUS to coup HIS OWN country.
People asking "what should we do?" mostly mean "how can we return to the old normal?" But the old normal sucked. It had constant wars and increasing poverty, plutocracy, cruelty, ecocide. I recommend samizdat. My latest: https://t.co/HWdnZ1PERR
Our society's two main philosophies are individualism (every man for himself) and collectivism (we're all in this together). Both made sense until a few decades ago. But now individualism is bringing us toward extinction, by ecosystem collapse or nuclear war.
Fascism has taken different forms in different countries. I have not seen a good definition of "fascism" that would cover them all. Have you?
I prefer the term "plutocracy," which applies to both of the ruling parties in the USA.
Musk was already richest man in the world; what would he gain by stealing the treasury? Maybe he's really saying "everyone look at me." Anyway, now might be a good time for us to seize the means of production and start an entirely new economic system.
I'm watching the film "The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism," by George Monbiot. It's very good. It's available for free in some cities, on the Kanopy channel.
There are some things I believe in, that very few other people seem to believe. I am tempted to just give up. But my beliefs continue -- they seem like FACTS to me. So I continue to act on them, in the hope that other people will change.
I continue making little changes, little improvements, in my leaflet. But I haven't advertised it in a while. So here it is again. (Feel free to suggest further changes.)
