Well, after reading this thread it appears I disagree with everyone. For starters, most here have a very narrow perspective, limited to the US only. What is happening is
global. And change IS happening. We are heading into entirely new systems - economic, political, social, etc. This is not even a theory anymore, they openly talk about the need (in their view) for an entirely new system. They openly state that change is coming.
Another problem is that everyone is so focused on communism, that they're missing the more important topic. Let me ask a question. No matter what side you're on, whether you're a Republican, Democrat, conservative, liberal, or whatever... can we at least all agree that we should be free? Can we at least all agree that people have certain inalienable rights, and even though we may disagree on some of those rights, we all agree that human beings have rights that should be protected... Correct? So the real dichotomy is not left vs right, (that is what the PTSB want us to be stuck in, because it divides us, and it's all about divide and conquer) the real dichotomy is Authoritarianism versus freedom / individual rights.
The people who run this world couldn't care less about "left vs right" because they consider themselves above all that. So no matter what type of system we are heading toward, whether it's communism, fascism, a combination of different "isms" – the bottom line is, the masses of people will have no freedom, and a very small number of people at the top will be living like kings. Just the same way it is in communist countries, or in any totalitarian regimes.
All I'm seeing here is a lot of blindness. Complete blindness from most of the Dems, and partial blindness from the Republicans. OK now that I've probably offended everyone, I'll put on my flame suit.
