Corporate fascism (America's current government) may look fierce on the outside, but it has a very soft and vulnerable economic underbelly.

 

If MILLIONS of Americans boycotted, say, Wal-mart (that archetypal trash heap for American workers), and started now, right before Christmas, that corporation would find out at the speed of light that a new force is loose in America!  And this force would have nothing to do with politics (that dem/pug outhouse in Washington).  That's the beauty and the power of it, because this force would be the very heartbeat of Democracy at its best:  POWER OF THE PEOPLE. 

 

There are lots of other things we can do besides boycotts.  Our magnificent constitution, for example, permits us to have ENORMOUS influence on the dynamics of our country via petitions and referendums.  Now these are things we don't have to check out with our one party dem/pug system. We wouldn't have to talk to Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reed first. Ugh!

 

These are things we can do ALL BY OURSELVES as American citizens. Strikes are another, nationwide or otherwise. 

 

It can't be said strongly enough that all these things are POWER OF THE PEOPLE THINGS.  We don't have to "go though" establishment politics -- which means we don't need the support or approval of people who are grunting and slobbering at the reality (not fantasy!) hog trough created by the elites (with a millionth of their wealth). 

 

Of course such activism could be both/and with doing everything possible to resurrect the FDR Democratic Party.  Indeed, these two activisms would run parallel and be mutually constructive.

 

Successful, national boycotting would dramatically help liberalize the Democratic Party and VISA VERSA. What we're talking about now is all win/win.

 

OK, time to be personal.  I see my role in this as a barking dog, trying to get the attention of my American brothers and sisters that BOYCOTTS CAN SAVE AMERICA AND SAVE THE EARTH.  To me, this is an absolute certainty.
