"We should not allow the word 'democracy' to be utilized apologetically to represent the dictatorship of the exploiting classes."

Che Guevara

The demand for a shift in power and wealth, away from a few ...
to the many, has enlivened thousands in numerous countries around
the world in 2011. And as was noted @Jnoubiyeh, "A revolution is an awakening; a sleeping people cannot accomplish a paradigm shift."

Could the massive rallies in Wisconsin against the right-wing governor's attempts to ban collective bargaining for public employees (except the
"security forces," of course), be the start of "a revolution for democracy"
in the United States? That is only possible if those exploited year after
year, the working class, FINALLY WAKE UP from believing the two biggest lies that American leaders, Republican and Democrat alike, have been putting into their subconscious minds every day of their lives with the
help of the media machine:

1 - That the United State is a "democracy," in fact, the leader of the "free
world," AND...

2 - That the ones who bear the blame for America's problems are... the
other party, OR the 'terrorists,' or illegal immigrants, Muslims, minorities, gays ... etc., etc...

My friends, the ONE THING that all of these controlling leaders fear the
most is that the people who slave every day to get through week after week
would see that America is NOT a "democracy" at all; because all are NOT
equal, there is NOT "equal opportunity" and the chance to "vote for the
candidate of your choice," and there is NOT "liberty and justice for all!"
And upon having that realization sink in their heads, they would see clearly the second lie ... that the battle is NOT against any of the above, which have only been used to DILUTE THEIR ENERGY AND FOCUS, but the battle is the collective poor against the collective rich ... and there are a helluva lot more of the former than there are of the latter!
