Talkin Socialism: Is more socialism the only cure for extreme inequality?

    Is More Socialism The Only Cure for Extreme Inequality?

In the US? In the World? 
What is too much socialism?  
What is too little?


10 AM EST
Live on Enlighten Radio
and Live on the FB Socialist Economics Group page.


Our historical progress toward more socialism, summarized

Thomas Jefferson 
A universal right, inspiring a revolution:
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness




Abraham Lincoln
"Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said f[our] three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether"





Frederick Douglas

"It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake."



Martin Luther King

 "I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man."



Angela Davis

I don't think we have any alternative other than remaining optimistic. Optimism is an absolute necessity, even if it's only optimism of the will, as Gramsci said, and pessimism of the intellect.”






Bernie Sanders
“What being a socialist means is … that you hold out … a vision of society where poverty is absolutely unnecessary, where international relations are not based on greed … but on cooperation … where human beings can own the means of production and work together rather than having to work as semi-slaves to other people who can hire and fire.”
