Bernie Sanders & Robert Reich discuss how we defeat Republicans' horrid ...


They are talking about what is being done to us right now. When we refuse to do, we are done. Done to. Not ye finished off. When we refuse to govern ourselves, we are at he mercy of those willing to do so.  Find out what social organization is. We need organization. We are the potential grassroots. If we stay in the seed bag, we do not grow. Money is not a good excuse.

Truth as a Common Good with Robert Reich


We started down in the early 60s and began to crash in the late 70s. Through it all we left it to the hands of God. The old people told me that God helps those who help themselves. A part of helping ourselves is not abrogating our responsibility for governance.  We learn by doing.

Why Can't Third Parties Take Off?


A third party may be best at popularizing new planks and new platforms.
Third party members do gain office. However, their most important function may be to educate voters.

A Short Miscellany of History Notes

Napoleon


Hints of that which we can learn related to Napoleon:

The law of the U.S. state of Louisiana is significantly influenced by Napoleonic Law.

Prussians are the ones who saved the peoples of Great Britain from the armies of Napoleon. 

Napoleon made his brother king of Spain and for the next six years, 1808 t0 1814, the Spanish people waged a guerrilla war against the French. At the same time the colonial peoples of Mexico, South America, and Central America fought wars of independence from French Spain.

If Napoleon as his first name, what as his second name? It that question was too easy try this on: How did U.S. commercial policy and actions relate to the Opium Wars?  

The sixty yeas of war from 1776 to 1815 did much to prepare busy little America and most of Europe to prepare for the Industrial revolution. In the U.S. immigration made labor so cheap that employers were free to pay the lowest wage possible. Most immigrants then were ignorant of our freedom to control the distribution of our wealth.

Discontent of workers in Europe led to the revolts of 1884 there. The savagery of the repression of those revolts showed the nature of the the ruling class of the time. This same discontent led to a great deal of immigration to the Americas, much of it to North America.

Conversations with History: Glenn Greenwald


We can organize to form our nexus for doing. We can organize to form a sort of useful institution.
We can consider how to effective protect our nexus. We can practice what we want and learn by doing.   Talking over what we are doing until enough of us are on the same page is vital. We will need an exceptional  understanding of our common aims. We will need great sources of learning.  We will need duplicate sources of information.  We will need to do that which we want to be.   I like liberty, justice, honesty, and democracy.
