This is s great emancipation of the proven actualized evils of Capitalism from the wider trough of historical determinism they are usually embedded in that then encourages contemporary writers to complete their essay for the future by exploring and proposing how the inevitable ‘revolutionary’ movement should or will occur, and what type of ‘interem’ leadership it requires to get ‘there’. (Apologies for that long Miltonic sentence!)

Scooby Do is the new favorite of my 3 year old grandson who, while watching a recent episode, kept asking his mother “Why did he do that Mommy?” every time the villain took a step towards accomplishing his evil plan. He intuitively understood the plot was about characters abusing their power, but he didn’t understand why anyone would want to do that! He’s just too young and unexposed to that barrage of “public” education that will take him to the next stage where the oppressed identity with their oppressors so they can bypass as much conflict in their daily lives as possible.

It’s amazing to me that the “free press” of mainstream media can’t acknowledge that they can only fulfill the plans of the powerful people and don’t want readers to remember the lessons learned in childhood “that powerful people want you believing fake conspiracies, that the real conspiracy is always the rich and powerful against the poor and powerless.”
