| On American Revolution |
By PAUL STREET 2017-07-04
...the “American Revolution” was a national independence movement led by wealthy landowners, slaveowners, and merchants who feared uprisings from below. They wanted more breathing space to develop further systems of racial oppression, territorial conquest, and class rule. For them national independence was required among other things to prevent social revolution. The last thing the nation’s wealth aristo-republican Founders wanted was a world turned upside down... No revolution occurred. Not even close... /
...a deeply entrenched and carbon-addicted corporate and financial sector is leading the world over the environmental cliff through the championing of endless growth and attendant “anthropogenic” (really capitalogenic) climate destruction... That is a call for the capitalogenic extermination of the human species – a transgression that will make the worst crimes of homo sapiens so far pale by comparison. It is also a call for revolution. Nowhere is the need for such a movement urgent than what is still the world’s leading and most powerful capitalist state, the U.S....
...We need a revolution now, a first American Revolution.... |

They knew that if the checks and balances proved to be not strong enough to restrain the executive, that way lay tyranny. |

The New Legalist editor: The only radical way to finally solve such problems is to change our lifestyle -- curb our material desires -- to be less materialistic while more spiritual -- to be humbler (to nature and to the whole human community), more benevolent (to be justifiable, balanced and harmonious in social relations) and more tolerant (patient and Dao-abiding in bringing about social changes). |
