Capitalist politics has become a caricature of itself. "Mike Bloomberg 2020" campaign advertising received via U.S. mail says: "Get special interest influence out of politics. Mike never has and never will take a dime from them." This is point three on a four-point platform. When Ralph Nader ended his relatively brief venture into electoral politics he wrote a fictional book "Only the Billionaires Can Save Us" (2010; 2011 title "Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us") which i took as his experienced judgment on the state of U.S. politics. Working people are constantly dunned for donations by politicians (typically low-income millionaires) who need our help so they can compete with the billionaires and billionaire-funded. If we don't contribute again and again, it will be our fault that the billionaires are in control (spoiler alert, they already are). _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
