Additionally, the US declaration of Independence - which states the US revolutionary plan (All people equal, the right to overthrow governments who stand in the way of equality and people’s rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness). It would be inconsistent with the US experiment to block people’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness based on simple documentation status. To place the status of “illegal” on the basis of documentation seems opposed to the US revolutionary spirit and the core value of that nation. And I quote: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it.” But, of course, the people on the left in the US have less of the revolutionary spirit than their founding fathers. It makes me wonder: The first step was independence from the Empire. The second was the abolition of slavery. The third step was universal suffrage and the civil rights movement. The next phase of that US experiment is currently in progress, the next big conflict between the right-wing against those on the right side of history. I rambled on, it’s late, almost morning (we don’t sleep here). I wish you people of the US good luck in your revolutionary experiment. This election will hopefully put things back on track. |
Oh my God, you have no idea how much it frustrates me. We have an opportunity to commit a revolutionary act in the election of Sanders, and we're too scared to try.
