We are living in a very peculiar time. You didn't need me to tell you that. With Donald Trump leading on one side and a 74-year-old man who has proclaimed to be a democratic socialist for decades competing on the other, it's clear that if we were ever going to try something truly revolutionary, now would be the time to do so.
I'll leave you with these closing words from Michelle Alexander: "Maybe we’ll all continue to play along and pretend that we don’t know how it will turn out in the end. Hopefully, one day, we’ll muster the courage to join together in a revolutionary movement with people of all colors who believe that basic human rights and economic, racial, and gender justice are not unreasonable, pie-in-the-sky goals. After decades of getting played, the sleeping giant just might wake up, stretch its limbs, and tell both parties: Game over. Move aside. It’s time to reshuffle this deck." full: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/election/king-bernie-sanders-candidate-wrong-party-article-1.2572400 _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list pen-l@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
