This last post goes beyond the DSA's platform. This is a summary, only, so there is no blurb from DSA.
So, what is really accomplished by the "fight," the objectives of the DSA, if some workers become bosses?
Becoming, is, after all, the whole point of communism by the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America. Becoming... what? Do they truly, eventually, become bosses, as defined by the last words of their platform? Nope. In the end, what has changed?
"I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution,
Take a bow for the new revolution,
Smile and grin at the change all around.
Pick up my guitar and play,
Just like yesterday,
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again."
"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Won't_Get_Fooled_Again
This communist version of "democracy" [positively the wrong word to compare to communism] has been around since Eden, my friends, not just 1848's Karl Marx. This was Satan's communist blurb. You know: power, pride, possession & pleasure. The original sins. And y'all thought it was just an apple? Well, it was seedless, wasn't it? Stayed in Eden, that tree did. Must have been a communist. That's why it did not reproduce. Just as communism does not, nor its soft-core socialism version. It all dies within a man's lifetime. But they try again and again, because they fail to learn philosopher Santayana's sage advice: learn from history, apply its lessons, avoid its traps, or we are doomed to repeat it.
DSA wants to defund the police forces of America. Did they know that one-third of the police forces are non-white: black, latino, asian, and other types? Yet, DSA claims even these must be defunded, because the whole of police forces are to be defunded, according to their own words. DSA must believe even those who are of the one-third of the police forces are, nevertheless, white supremacists. Why else would DSA want to defund them, too?
White supremacy is not the communists' problem. Racism is not their problem. Housing is not their problem. Education, voting, private enterprise, workers, and all their other complaints are not their problem. Their problem is simple. The politick they want to impose is a proven failure, and they just cannot face and dance to that music.
True democracy is the gift of heaven: eternal life. It has a life that is continuous, just as man and woman have been since Eden. Life on Earth is not merely generational with starts and stops. It, too, is endless. Even the ancient Egyptians knew this. Hence: "Spells for the Coming Forth by Day," as they titled it. We screwed up the title and the content, calling it, instead, "The Egyptian Book of the Dead." I've read the spells [about 250 printed pages] in their ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. It's not about death. Dead has naught to do with life or democracy. This amateur Egyptologist knows that much. Bad title, bad interpretation. Just like communism, and the Democratic Socialists of America. So the Human Genome Project confirmed in 2003. Where y'all been since then? Stuck in a seedless apple skin?
Every original word that is mine in this series is the truth as I am equipped to know and embrace it, where I have made claims of evidence. Once, 40 years ago or more, I was selected as the jury foreman in a criminal trial. Once selected, before the trial, we jurors were sworn to an oath by the trial judge. We were asked to swear to be attentive to the trial testimony and exhibits and to avoid bias in our deliberation to seek the truth. I swore, "I do" along with the other jurors. Then in the brief silence immediately following, I asked the judge, "Do you?" He looked at me and smiled. He said, as best I remember, "I take my own oath as a judge, and it is similar, not exactly like yours, but I've never been asked by a juror. Thank you. Yes, I do," he concluded. The trial proceeded, and we did our duty, as sworn.
As I swear, now. I ask you, "Do you?"
Where is the Yoda Party? That party's platform is much shorter and perhaps more democratic than even the U.S. Constitution.
In The Empire Strikes Back, while training Luke on Dagobah, Yoda tells Luke that the Force connects all living energy and that physical size or limits do not matter.
Luke struggles to lift his sunken X-wing fighter from the swamp when challenged by Yoda to use the Force. Luke says, after trying, "I tried...I can't. It's too big," or words to that effect. Yoda tells him, "Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try." Then he said that size matters not and points out that his own physical size does not limit his power.
Yoda explains that the Force surrounds and binds all things. He contrasts our spiritual energy with our physical bodies to show that the mind and spirit are what connect to the Force, not muscle or physical weight, or any lack of the same. It is not mere belief. Those with an acquaintance with this exercise of mind and spirit know this power by another name: faith. No, not mere belief. That is nothing by comparison to faith, because belief makes no demands. Faith, the "Force," does.
Yoda says: "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." Yoda is no communist.
