I hadn't listened to Radio Pacifica in some decades. They
are still out there as something more like Soviet era radio All-Union or whatever (https://www.radio.net/s/101ruussr). One thing
that is certain is that they don't support free enterprise reform with a focus
on ecological economics so much as socialism. In the current 2020 race they
seem to cover fringe and extremist movements and like the Democrat Party
establishment are of more benefit to Wall Street than the people.
They do bring out some useful
points of politics one won't discover elsewhere. As a Berkeley centered
five-station network they are best buddies of the far left, or what in former
ages was thought of as the far left, and still are by those without any sense
of the need to reform Democracy and free enterprise to fit in with ecological
economic criteria for Earthly sustainability.

One of the concepts I learned
about was post-Soviet Marxism applied for black racist organization. Marxism as
envisioned by the founder was supposed to be an economic class oriented item to
oppose the concentration of wealth and establish a more just and peaceful
society (a more verdant world would need to wait for N.P.R.) with social rights and earnings divvied up more or less equally. Racist
Marxism is in complete contradiction to that; it is based on a premise that genocide
is occurring in the United States right now with blacks being the victims.
Terms like class consciousness and petty bourgeois are still used, though
applied to races such as white people versus black, and poor blacks versus
middle class blacks such as voted recently for Vice President Biden in the Super
Tuesday elections.
The problem of petty bourgeois blacks and loyal
followers voting for Joe Biden Tuesday was a travesty for the Marxist racist
movement. Bernie Sanders as a declared socialist has the trouble of being an
old white man and therefore seeming somewhat untrustworthy to black extremists.
Joe Biden's appeal as a former pupil-stabilizer of Barrack Obama's
administration is his prior interaction with the black community engendering an
element of trustworthiness
Dividing the electorate along
racial lines is just one help for concentrating wealth globally. A divided
electorate has just splinter cell ideas about redistributing from one race to
another. Marxism is really quite obsolete in its application for racism, and
racism is obsolete to those seeking economic justice for all classes and races
of people comprising one electorate.
LatinX people (gender neutered) are a little more favorably disposed to Bernie Sanders.
The United States in its
foundation had basic egalitarian lines with most people being independent and
self-providing giving thanks to God for the bounty of the land. It was a very
progressive foundation allowing free enterprise and trusting in God to lead
people to a better union. People of the world then and now are fundamentally
racist though the racism may be suppressed. With good reason though people
overcome their racist tendencies and recognize basic economic liberties as
Universal rights and desired forms for business. Free enterprise adapted to any
era is the best way forward for creative and energetic people. Human rights
that are equally devised and applied are necessary for free enterprise universally
expressed.
For some white Joe Biden's
familiarity since his silly 1988 Presidential campaign has not brought
expectations of change. Instead it makes people believe that the bottom of the
barrel has risen to the top through sheer persistence in the desire for
political power and wealth to better himself personally. No one knows of
anything significant Joe Biden has done as a Senator or Vice President that is
memorable or leading. They remember his gaffs and prevarications on the
campaign trail.
Intelligent voters would like
chance to vote for an actual ecological economic leader who would reform free
enterprise with good regulations and little public expense. Some seek medical
care for all including retirees who even if poor would need to pay $200 appx. for doctor visits for plan B. In effect the elderly are denied any medical care
in retirement unless they pay as much a month as working youth who were poor
paid monthly for Obamacare. Plainly the retiree and general medical
provisioning structure should be reformed in order to prevent the 'genocide' in
old age that Marxist-racists may be concerned about.
If one has spent a lifetime in
prison or had trouble getting jobs because of social exclusion or racist
attitudes on-the-job then one may get so little social security retirement that
paying $200 monthly for plan B isn't possible. Maybe that should change, and
Bernie Sanders could address the particular problem if he chose to.
Senator Biden is trusted as a
Corporatist tool that will help Wall Street concentrate wealth and reinstall
corruption as usual. Donald Trump is hated for being white and rich. He is also
harmful to the environment and has no concept of what ecological economics is.
It is an interesting menu this year presently with three possible candidates
for the 2020 Presidential election mentioned already. Restoring a higher
progressive tax on the rich should be in the cards for either Democrat
candidate yet just one is considered trustworthy to try to get that done.
Republicans will of course resist as much as some sanity-challenged individual
being dragged off a Greyhound bus by some local policy department on the road. Some
will choose not to vote as a reasonable option. The U.S. public debt has no
vote, and neither does the atmospheric and oceanic conditions; they all increase
negatively for themselves.
