Qualifiers: I don't care who is President. I don't trust anyone who actually wants the job. The earnestness in this video reaches beyond melodrama, and grasps at florid and purple pathos. It's a campaign ad, so, you know...
When it comes to war and the projection of power, Ron Paul is the only fucking candidate who has even half a clue.
Don't vote for him. Don't vote at all. Voting is stupid. Voting puts the stamp of your life on the power of those who want to use your life up. Get all up in a tizzy about Ron Paul's goldbugging, his abortion opinions and his standard Republican lip service to capital. He's still better on this subject than Elizabeth Middle Class and her "progressive fighter" drumbeat for Iranwar.

What gets me most about this over the top video is that many Americans - mostly those who are not middle class and White - do not need to "imagine". The municipal, state, and federal police and their campaigns of terror against the populations they "serve" fit the descriptions in this video. Look at Oakland, CA or Atlanta, GA or any number of other American cities right now - we don't need to imagine anything at all. The American government, any 'government', is a government of occupation. Period.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, joonsae. And it's probably more accurate, for now, to speak of class occupation. The class war is a far off, yet.
