A socialist from a different era but still a comrade for all that, he mused in 2015 “The failure of the Socialist Party, its tendency to substitute a kind of left rhetoric for serious analysis, is to be regretted because if ever we needed a democratic socialist movement it is today”--- a short three years later we see DSA rising to fill that need; the roles of other left forces are yet to be determined as democratic socialism, still "new" in the US is old in Europe and has failed to get beyond the welfare state and NATO. Communism (i.e., Marxism-Leninism) is still a viable alternative despite the failure of Eastern Orthodox culture to digest it as it is apparently working in China being compatible with a modern interpretation of Confucianism and as the ultimate solution to the contradictions engendered by the now dominant world capitalist system that evolved out of European mercantilism and whose continued existence is an existential threat to humanity and the planet.

The world hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe.
All the time follow your heart.
