My opinion is that extremists and idealogs on both extremes must give way to a modern pragmatic humanism. Answers for real people, real suffering. Broken utopian promises left and right except for the .001%.

Nobody has ALL the answers to civilization's FUBARED mess, especially those who scream that they have the answers like Michael Savage or Hannity.

I was born after WWII. In my lifetime, I saw the communist nations fail to deliver. In the 60's we carried pictures of Chairman Mao, and didn't make it with anyone anyhow. (I still think Ho Chi Minh would have made a great ally to the US had we responded to his early requests.)

Now its mostly the RW capitalists that are crashing the planet, and cornering its resources. Although Venezuela, and the late Fidel Castro putting his f#cking brother in power, has reminded us from where we came from in the 20th century.

We can do this, without Vladimir Lenin, without Trump, without Pence, without the demagogues and hate.
