Only a few people in this country are self-realizing themselves. You know "Self realization" its where you can relatively fullfill your most precious basic needs and also some of the emotional and higher needs.<BR/><BR/>But that self-realization can only be achieved if you are in the higher-strata of this country.<BR/><BR/>Life is literally a hell even for the middle-working classes like you said, where self-realization is impossible and this state of learned hopelesseness in the majority of americans leads to a feeling of dispair which leads to food addictions, alcoholism, drug addiction, and violence, which is linked to what sociologists state as "The poverty trap" and "The vicious circle of poverty"<BR/><BR/>I think that we gotta teach people that the only way to self realize themselves, to get richer and wealthier, to get out of the "viscious circle of poverty". to increase in their living standards would be to form a United National People's Party in this country which would be a sort of United-Front composed of Alternative Parties, where even libertarian, and even right-wing independent thinkers would be welcomed into this 'United Front' as an alternative to the hegemony and harsh dictatorship of the Democrats and Republicans which have literally destroyed the lives of most americans, and only benefitted a few.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755195.post-33351691634382418132009-01-08T06:35:00.000-07:002009-01-08T06:35:00.000-07:00MS: Today's middle class is not the bourgeoisie; t...MS: Today's middle class is <I>not</I> the bourgeoisie; the literal meaning of bourgeoisie as "middle class" is an artifact of the transition from feudalism to communism, when the owners of capital were between the upper class of the hereditary aristocracy (nobility and royalty) and the lower classes of mostly agricultural workers.<BR/><BR/>Today's middle class comprises the petty bourgeoisie, and the labor aristocracy of professional-managerial workers.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind that I myself am a long time member of the professional-managerial middle class.

And from a class-psychology view, we can determine the reason of why most people in developed wealthy nations are pro-imperialism, because the middle classes which are the majority of citizens in those countries are pro-capitalism and pro-fascism.<BR/><BR/>This is why our only hope for change can be found in the lower-classes of all countries, the workers of the world. That's why social populal revolutions count on lower class citizens, not comfortable middle bourgeoise yuppies.<BR/><BR/>Forget about the middle classes american european yuppies driving their shiny SUVs, and Volvos, living in their Mcmansions with Big screen TVs and all of the toys and gadgets of the upward moval. <BR/><BR/>The middle bourgeoise classes are economically-stable, and are no hope at all, are no agent of changes.<BR/><BR/>The middle-classes have been and always will be supporters of fascism, and are our enemy in any social revolution<BR/><BR/>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28755195.post-42744063910425020132009-01-07T09:15:00.000-07:002009-01-07T09:15:00.000-07:00Well it takes between 400-500 years for a politica...Well it takes between 400-500 years for a political stage to last so i suspect that we will enter into a socialist-stage from 2050 to 2400<BR/><BR/>and after 2400 the state will die out, will dissapear paving way for anarcho-communism<BR/><BR/>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
