Don't forget, it was the long, hard work by the Establishment, the
Oligarchy, that pounded the Political Left into submission. They
created an atmosphere of Fear and confusion. Remember the Bomb
Shelters back in the 50's? The, "Commie under every rock"? And stir
in a mistrust of those "Fairies and Queers", and the sneaky Filipinos,
and Lazy Blacks, and the "Wet Backs" who snuck into our Land of Plenty
to steal the highly desired field jobs from poor White Trash? And
they declared their own Media to be controlled by the Left! Even the
color Pink became avoided. Add in today's Rag Heads, and the hordes
of "illegals" who have somehow gotten onto our welfare rolls, and keep
stirring the pot until it boils over. It's coming to a place where
the Ruling Class will no longer be in control of what explodes from
that boiling pot.
But one thing for certain, the Ruling Class will lay the blame at our
door step.

Hi Miriam,
AS the pain increases due to policies of the hard right types Trump appears
to want at his side, I believe that will spur growth among all the groups
you mentioned.
No doubt, lots of folks will suffer and it won't be pretty. IT's either that
or a society of sheep who obey the evil fascists. I'd much rather die
fighting the good fight than become one of those sheep.

Sounds like a fund raising message along with the analysis. I've received
numerous messages from numerous groups which state that now we must really
organize, really fight back, really reach out to each other. Well, wasn't
that happening before? We already have Occupy and Black Lives and the
Sanders stillborn campaign and the Green Party with 4% of the vote along
with the NSA and militarized police. What, pray tell, does Richard Wolfe and
all of the other worthy people from whom I've heard today, think will happen
now that the gloves will come off and our police will be joined by armed
civilian white nationalist militias with the blessing of the President of
the United States?

Carl --
It appears we have entered the eve of a Trump administration.
Trump rode workers' anger at capitalism's last 40 years: record profits from
lost jobs, incomes, security and public services. For change, they voted
down GOP and Dem establishments. But the system won't let Trump bring
change. There lies our opportunity.
The endless election effort is finally over (even as the next one begins to
be planned by the candidates and their monied supporters).
Now the nation confronts its fundamental problems after so many were swept
under the rug by the "major candidates" in this election's long exercise in
mass distraction. The time lost, like the campaigns'
billions, could better have gone toward solving those problems. They just
got worse during that time.
The world remains in the aftermath of the crash of 2008 - the second global
capitalist crash in 75 years - and most economists expect another downturn
within the next 6-18 months. Especially because the current post-2008 crash
originated in the US with the sub-prime mortgage collapse, the US has
special responsibilities to deal with its economic instability and its
global ramifications. Yet neither candidate addressed the issue. Why?
The inequality, instability and money-dominated politics besetting the U.S.
all originate in basic economic decisions made by the major shareholders and
corporate boards of directors they elect. These folks comprise the
(in)famous 1% and their positions atop contemporary capitalist economies
gives them extraordinary power, and hence responsibility for, economic
conditions. What alternative organization might better serve democratic
purposes? An economy of democratized, cooperatively organized enterprises is
growing around the world. Yet the candidates in this presidential campaign -
except for Bernie Sanders - ignored the issue. Why?Let's remember that
elections these days are integrated parts of a system.The dominant power is
intertwined with the dominant wealth. The corporate system -- and the
individuals it makes rich -- normally buy the political process.
That's how systems work.
Only when massive oppositions of the people get aroused do they relearn the
first of the great old lessons, that ultimate power resides with the
people.
When that happens, the question arises: will the people relearn the second
of the great old lessons, that the power of the people becomes effective
when it is organized? I believe we have already begun.
The Occupy Wall Street, Bernie, and Black Lives Matter movements are
milestones along the way as people today grasp the first of the great old
lessons. Building on all they accomplished as well as on the prior efforts
to go beyond capitalism, we at Democracy at Work focus on that second great
lesson. Our task is to help inform, focus, and, above all, organize an
aroused and rising people. That's what we do and what we invite you to do
with us.
As always, thank you for supporting Democracy at Work. We would love to hear
your thoughts and reflections on how we can build this momentum together
<http://www.democracyatwork.info/wolf_postelection16>, and please know, we
are glad to have you as a part of this movement.
