Social programs are great if they work without too much bureaucracy and confusion from the government. Do you have any solutions for our current predicament in regards to the social security crisis and the retirement of baby boomers? It seems like our economy is over extended and significant cut backs will have to be made to maintain our current lifestyle.
Part II: If we take back the 54% of the budget from the military industrial complex, America could: 1. Increase Social Security benefits 2. Build affordable housing for all 3. Provide free university education for all 4. Universal health care 5. Paid paternity leave 6. Decent wages for all 7. Decent pensions for all 8. Paid 4 week vacations for all 9. Paid family sick leave for all 10.Decent day care for all 11.Affordable excellent public transportation
Read "Nemesis" by Chalmers Johnson to understand the nature of America's Empire. You already understand it costs 54% of the federal budget to operate.
America must walk away from its Imperial pursuits. If it does not, economist Paul Craig Roberts says if America doesn't give up Imperialism, America will go bankrupt. It may already be to late.
If we give up Empire and return to being a Republic, we will lower our costs dramatically. These are the cutbacks that must be made.
I my YT video: Is Change Possible, I argue significant, meaningful change is not possible. This leaves the individual alone to make changes in his or her personal perspective - to become authentic.
Included in the Varieties of Socialism are two forms of community organization that do not involve government: Anarchism (Emma Goldman) & Syndicalism (James Connolly).

What, exactly, are you arguing for?
America certainly needs to end it's empire and go back to a small military and end corporate welfare, but do you want big government?

But how can you espouse a leftist view, while at the same time, opposing government?
