If a revolution, not just a Communist or Marxist revolution, but just a broad left-wing revolution, were to occur in America, what most likely would follow afterwards? What would you do after? How would you like to see American society shaped?
I was discussing this with a fellow comrade and I say that if workers councils did in fact spontaneously arise within American industrial complexes, then I would push forth the motion to give these councils federal recognition, as well as legislative power. Any citizen may vote for a delegate of a local council. Elected delegates can be recalled at any time, by consensus of immediate vote of citizens. I would recall all military troops currently engaged in combat in the Middle east. I would also put forth in the new legislature the motion to repeal the PATRIOT Act. I would produce a new system of education. Repeal the no child left behind act. Only textbooks that require contemporary changes once every few years will be purchased to replace the old; non-changing subjects such as English, Mathematics, Physics, etc, the books shall be used for a period of 15 years before a resupply.
In a large company, if the CFO or CEO deserts or abandons his post due to the ever increasing rise of workers power, the workers of said company may have the right to elect a Workers Council and thus bring production, planning, and sales into the hands of the workers themselves.
If all goes well, with economic planning and such, such as an end to these recessions as well as an abundance of government funds, then I would also put forth the motion of Universal Health Care to all citizens. State funded Universities will be free to attend, however, I support the fact of them becoming more competitive, thus the intelligentsia of America will grow more and more.
That's all I can really think of right now.
How would you envision American society if a Leftist revolution were to happen?
