A series of lectures with the theme "How Can a Communist/Socialist Government evolve from a Capitalist Democracy." Guess what--it can't. No way will the ruling rich cede power peacefully. The only way is revolution and the only way revoultion can happen in a modern capitalist country is for things to get REALLY REALLY bad. President Palin=Revolution. Vote John McCain for REAL change...just a thought...
