Hi Miriam,
Wise words here from Mr. Hedges.
I am wrestling in my mind. In this corner we have Chris Hedges and his
definition of a socialist. He argues that Sanders is not a good choice for a
leader because he enables the military industrial complex and other
corporates.
In the opposing corner, we have William Kaufman arguing that the left needs
to relax and support Bernie Sanders.
Seems I'm waffling back and forth between those two sides. No doubt that
sanders had done a good job identifying the scourge of income inequality and
that he has pulled Clinton slightly to the left.
AT this point in time, I'd say my heart is with Hedges and my head is sort
of with Kaufman. My heart is more committed to Hedges than my head is to
Kaufman.
IS that trying to have it both ways? If so, then you may lable me guilty as
charged.
