The "ACORN controversy" was nit picking and exaggeration. The reality is that ACORN is a good organization doing good work, that was demonized precisely for organizing the urban poor.

There is an essential enmity between capital and democracy. There is an "axis of evil" - it is the union between superstitious reactionaries amongst the prols and big capital who are quite happy to exploit these misguided passions.

Hence the ease of vilifying those who try to bring democracy to ALL Americans.

thanks to massive unemployment, the poor are no longer needed. if you don't have at least some sort of education beyond high school or don't have valued skills, then you are disposable.

You need direct democracy for the people to stop the corruption! Another top-controlled corrupt organisation will not change anything.

There has never been socialist experiment that wasn't corrupted or destroyed in some fashion.

So no poor white people then?

You left out the BLACK bit from the front of POWER

[soulofshiver]

What about working class white people? Another racist organisation.

[Pnkbong]

POWER is for poor Blacks and Latinos? What about poor white people.

I beleive people can pull themselves up, but I do understand its hard and no promise of happiness.. I am no long in the believe the Governments motives is the aid the poor's plight nor guarantee them a road to prosperity. I see the government with little role in the protection of its people and its only motive is to protect itself and its interest of the rich, people be damed. With t hat, people "organizing" poor for a piece of pie to this government usually raises my red flags.

I'm not a fan of so called "Progressives". And they do come off sounding like Communists.

That depends which history books you're reading.

[tarossi400]

That about sums it up. Now, when will you pose a defense? I've been waiting for you to do more than just mock me, but I think thats all you CAN do because you've got nothing.

I keep telling you history has shown marxism for the complete and utter failure that it is and you come back with zero.
