I’m just now reading this Lawrence 🤦🏼 better late than never I guess tho as an almost aging boomer I do understand I don’t have much time to do much really about it.
Within this post you’ve offered some topics for reading that probably should’ve already been in my head though some were after the fact of my traditional schooling classes and my community college classes didn’t involve reading these books. I’ll get on it now.
As I’m relatively new here on Substack I’m still learning that way around as well as learning about myself and life as it changes after living the life I have lived so far ! I know of many things you’ve taken part in here especially as far as some of your live chats and that needs to expand as I learn more about how to do things here…
All this to say I appreciate what you’re doing here, especially for my belated growth…
I will say this. And maybe you will disagree with me but if WW3 is around the corner, it's because the uNited States and NATO instigated the whole thing in the first place. I'm not defending Putin's actions but two things can be true at the same time. For example If Russia and China had a military alliance and wanted Mexico to join, I don't think we would be too happy about. Well tahts what we have been doing for the past few decades regarding Russia and Ukraine. We should be trying to settle this dispute peacefully. We have given them billions of dollars and for what? While we go without healthcare and a crippling infrastructure.
As far as civil wat, I hope not because thats what the the Ologarchs want , us fighting amongst ourselves. Hope for more of a "French" style revolution like what they had in 1789.
I would describe myself as a leftistwho is far to the left of the Democratic Party as they have become moderate Republicans.
