ONE PROBLEM I SEE WITH THE USA LEFT IS THAT THE USA LEFT IS TOO IDEALIST, TOO ROMANTIC. WE HAVE TO BE MORE DOWN TO EARTH WITH AMERICAN POPULATION, INSTEAD OF PREACHING IDEALIST ROMANTIC SLOGANS, WHAT WE GOTTA DO IS TO TELL AMERICAN WORKERS THAT SOCIALISM IS THE ONLY IDEOLOGY IN USA WHICH PROPOSES 12 TO 15 DOLLARS AN HOUR FOR MINIMUM-WAGE
First of all:
what people need in this country is to create a united-front composed of the anti-fascist, anti-wars political parties of USA (socialist, leftists, centrists, libertarians parties of this country (The Green Party, The Libertarian Party, The Socialist Equality Party, The Democratic Socialists of USA, The Socialist Party of USA, The Revolutionary Communist Party of USA, The Workers World Party of USA, The Marxist-Leninist Party of USA, and other alternative socialist parties) which would be a real vehicle in which the masses, the majority of americans who are pissed off with the capitalist-system, would have an answer out of this mess. to caste their votes every 4 years.
However there is a catch-22 with a creation of a United-Socialist-Front composed of small socialist parties.
The catch-22 problem is that the USA corporate fascist system thru the media and its other evil things it has, will not let that united-front succeeding, The media apparatus would denounce it as a cult or an evil organization, and would spread dirty propaganda against it, just like it did and it has done many times against Ron Paul, Howard Dean and even against Obama.
Second: An educational-propaganda campaign
In order to create a united socialist party we would also need an educational campaign in order to spread socialism and marxism propaganda, information and knowledge to the masses about the evils of capitalism, fascism and imperialism and that the only solution for American citizens is socialism and marxism as the only real alternative which is participative democratic socialism. An educational program to debunk the taboos and myths created by right-wing libertarians and conspiracy theorists such as Jeff Rense, Alex Jones and other conspiracy free market libertarian lunatics against Marxism, and communism ideology.
I read the biography of Hugo Chavez written by Aleyda Guevara (Ernesto Che Guevara's Daugther) about how he began his political socialist carreer in Venezuela, in order to rescue Venezuela from corporations. He first tried to wake up Venezuelan poors about the evils of neoliberalism, he talked about the importance of teaching the masses about capitalism vs. socialism. And then when Venezuelan's poors digested the ideology of socialism, Hugo Chavez and his political movement began a campaign in Venezuela as an electoral option in 1998.
And here in USA we gotta do the same thing that Chavez did, teach the US poor for some months or years what is capitalism and what is socialism before trying to do form any political party.
Almost nobody in USA have taught the masses the evils of neoliberalism, not even Kucinich, Ron Paul or any other candidate.
Ron Paul was one of the few candidates who talked about the US constitution and nobody listened to him, however his major flaw is that Ron Paul is not socialist or marxist. I don't know why if he is good intentioned as people say, he chosed the Libertarian free market ideology. If he is real smart, he should be a socialist and leftist, not a libertarian.
Because we all know that in history and present, countries with real bad economic problems and where its population is real poor, adopt state-capitalist policies or social-democrat leftist policies, but not libertarian free markets at all. In fact, when libertarianism free market is applied it increases poverty and destroys whole economies (Examples: Argentina)
Examples of nations that are heading toward the left as medicines against poverty. And not to the right-wing libertarian ideology like many americans think that libertarian free market ideology will save USA: Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Nicaragua, Spain, Bolivia, El Salvador. Libertarian free market ideology cannot work to save nations.
So Ron Paul didn't teach the US population about the evils of capitalism, because of the fact that Ron Paul was a capitalist, not a real alternative for poor people.
Only socialist parties can be a real alternative for victims of the Bush-Obama 1.5 trillion dollars bailouts, but socialist parties don't have access to TV and the press in the USA and that's why most americans don't know the ideology of socialism,ge in TV.
So before marketing a United Socialist Front in USA as a third party alternative we need to spend some months or years trying to tell americans in a down to earth language that in a socialist workers state they will earn between 12 to 20 dollars per hour for minimum wage (A lot more than under Republicans and Democrats)
And teach the poor people of America about the evils of capitalism and the wonders of a participative democratic socialist system, a people's system, with free dental work, free medicine, free or cheaper universitie degrees, cheaper utility services.
Socialism is so good, that it is the only ideology in this country that proposes a minimum wage of 15 dollars an hour. No other ideology proposes 15 dollars for minimum wage: http://socialistparty-usa.org/platform/economics.html 3. We call for a minimum wage of $15 per hour, indexed to the cost of living. 5. We call for all financial and insurance institutions to be socially owned and operated by a democratically-controlled national banking authority, which should include credit unions, mutual insurance cooperatives, and cooperative state banks. In the meantime, we call for re-regulation of the banking and insurance industries
