''As liberated souls we have necessarily an historically enviable role as cosmic architects armed with hammers, electric guitars and apocalyptic visions, but more significantly armed with the exhilarating knowledge that we are able to crush systematically all obstacles placed in the way of our desires and to build anew everything.''

The U.S. ruling class, in its entirety, comprises the top 1-10% at the apex of society who own the vast majority of the wealth and resources, and control virtually the whole of the government.
We do not have a democracy. We have a ‘bourgeois’ democracy. The ‘bourgeoisie — the capitalists, the ‘1%’ — have a democracy, where they discuss and debate through the mechanism of government how best to administer their collective affairs and extend their dominance over all others.
For the rest of us, bourgeois democracy manifests itself as nothing more than the glorified dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.

Too bad the cuteness has to be killed by that hammer & sickle. no snuggling with statists, come on.
Here in West Oakland, many folks that wanted to create a “conscious” POC community looked down at and spoke bad about the Black folks who hung out on the corners listening to their music loud and tried to create drum circles and coffee shops as “positive” spaces. Meanwhile, the folks they looked down at were having BBQs everyday and massive block parties. The folks on the corner drinking, smoking weed, and listening to Lil Wayne on blast WERE the indigenous drum circle. Yet they correctly felt overlooked by this group of conscious black folks.

Muslims To NYPD: ‘Respect Us, We Will Respect You’
NEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds of Muslims prayed in a lower Manhattan park and marched to New York Police headquarters Friday to protest a decade of police infiltrating mosques and spying on Muslim neighborhoods.
Bundled in winter clothes, men and women knelt as the call to prayer echoed off the cold stone of government buildings.
“Being Muslim does not negate our nationality,” Imam Talib Abdur-Rashid told the crowd of about 500 gathered in Foley Square, not far from City Hall and local courthouses. “We are unapologetically Muslim and uncompromisingly American.”
The demonstration was smaller and more subdued than the Occupy Wall Street protests that led to clashes with police and made headlines worldwide. Police wore windbreakers, not riot gear, and protesters called for improved relations with police.
“We want for you to respect us,” Abdur-Rashid said, “and we will respect you.”
It was the first organized opposition to the NYPD’s intelligence tactics since an Associated Press investigation revealed widespread spying programs that documented every aspect of Muslim life in New York. Police infiltrated mosques and student groups. Plainclothes officers catalogued Middle Eastern restaurants and their clientele. Analysts built databases on Arab cab drivers and monitored Muslims who changed their names.
“Had this been happening to any other religious group, all of America would be outraged,” said Daoud Ibraheem, 73, a retired graphic artist from Brooklyn.
Following the prayer service, the Muslims — joined by about 50 Occupy Wall Street demonstrators — crowded the sidewalk for the short walk to the large police headquarters building known as One Police Plaza. They stayed only briefly, chanting for Police Commissioner Ray Kelly’s ouster, before returning to Foley Square.
Protesters carried signs that said “NYPD Watches Us. Who Watches NYPD?” A dozen or so uniformed police officers monitored the demonstration and followed the march, but there were no clashes between protesters and police

Sometimes I wonder what percentage of Americans, the voters in particular, actually watch C-SPAN and take into account what Congress is actually doing week in and week out. I admittedly still don’t watch as much as I want to, but whenever I get the chance, I’m always left feeling like:
