    Interesting. What were the two books?

    I'm marginally less concerned about the military budget these days now that I understand almost the whole military is just a welfare program. It's a gigantic make work boondoggle, with some vocational training thrown in. It's the path out of poverty for a lot of people.

    Bernie understands the systemic despotism of capitalism in a way Warren does not, that is true. But the majority of Americans are closer to Warren's domestic nuts and bolts understanding. Effective reform movements in America come from bourgeois liberals, not from the working class. The white working class in America, since the 60s, is fascist. They were captured by their Plute slavemasters and have a form of PTSD Stockholm Syndrome. Marcuse and Adorno would turn in their graves, but they are not going to help. They love their chains. John Steinbeck is not walking through that door.

    So even though Bernie has the better answer, Warren has the approach that can work here and now.

    There's a unicorn out there that could change that: Black Bernie. Better still, Mexican Marx. That would be formidable.
    I’ll pray for that unicorn to appear!

    The first book was The Motorcycle Diaries. I grew up in a family where Che Guavera was public enemy #1, slightly ahead of Castro brothers. I had the book on my shelf for 15 years before I decided to bring it with me when my band played in d.c. I blew through it in 3-4 days and while I enjoyed it much to my surprise at the time it put questions in my head that I kept on tumble dry for at least a year. So I looked up the political status/climate of the countries he rode through and found he rode through Guatemala assisting poor people and lepers at the exact time the CIA had launched a coup to oust Jacobo Arbenz. Then it all crystallized for me.

    The second book was JFK And The Unspeakable. I had read nothing on this subject for 18 years until a friend recommended this one. It’s a real Cold War source book but it’s the meticulous source notes within that provide the denouement. Daniel Ellsberg raved about it, Marcus Raskin, JFK’s nuclear advisor labels it a sourcebook to rebuild a constitutional democracy...James Bradley, Yoko Ono, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin and the guy who wrote the economic hitman book all raved about it. So I said fine, i’ll Try it. It’s shocking. No other word to describe what James Douglass produced. It’s about so much more than why 35 died. It includes a history of Thomas Merton who was a towering figure in the peace movement.

    Anyway, those books turned me from a gop automaton to a read every book I can get left of Bernie voter. Call me a socialist I guess, i’m Not sure what other label would apply.
    Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

        Someone should investigate. Are the Ukrainians busy?
        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

            Bernout Twitter is the worst Twitter. Sophomoric, misogynist, predictable.

              What exactly is misogynistic about that clip? I'll wait... Meanwhile your hoarse god probably tweeted out multiple racist things in the time it takes you to reply.

                  This right here confirms I will not vote for Biden in the primary. November is a different story but this right now? His team can take a long walk of an icy pier.

                    Meh, it's one a-hole precinct captain. I don't care for Joe but this shouldn't affect anybody's opinion of him. It's some underling.

                            Yang gets a lot of crossover from wannabe Tech Bros who will unquestionably vote for Mango Mussolini over any other Dem, so his number is not surprising.

                            I feel like the Berners who said "It depends" are really saying, "Not Biden".
