There are three huge species of animals which are responsible for numerous legends. Even though the scientists insist they are extinct, they are very much alive, and each can be located in North America. They are absolutely not extinct, and with the help of working people, we can quite easily prove this.

As for the skeptical, astute reader, who is wondering just how this is possible, may I refer you to a speech given by Lenin, in October of 1920, three years after the socialist October revolution, to a gathering of the Young Communist League: ”It was the declared aim of the old type of school to produce men with an all round education, to teach the sciences in general. We know that this was utterly false, since the whole of society was based and maintained on the division of people into classes, into exploiters and oppressed. Since they were thoroughly imbued with the class spirit, the old schools naturally gave knowledge only to the children of the bourgeoisie. Every word was falsified in the interests of the bourgeoisie. In these schools the younger generation of workers and peasants were not so much educated as drilled in such a way as to be useful servants of the bourgeoisie, able to create profits for it without disturbing its peace and leisure.”

Of course Lenin was referring to the bourgeois schools, the schools under capitalism. Those are the very schools with which we are currently cursed. As a result of this, those who graduate from these schools, including those who have earned degrees in science, are truly ”servants of the bourgeoisie”, those who know how to ”create profits”, without ”disturbing its peace and leisure”.

Without doubt, the act of locating these three species of animals, will certainly ”disturb” the ”peace and leisure” of the bourgeoisie, the billionaires. All the more reason to find them!

The animal which has given rise to the most legends, is the flying reptiles, technically referred to as pterosaurs, more commonly referred to as pterodactyls. In most parts of the world, such as Asia, Africa and Europe, they are referred to as dragons. Here in North America, there are numerous local names. The more common local names include Thunder Bird, Devil Bird, Satan Bird, Demon Bird and Jersey Devil. These animals are nocturnal, coming out of the caves, in the mountains, mainly after sundown, and hunting in darkness. They prey upon people, as well as livestock. It is only natural that common people should get the idea that these animals are demons!

Of course, they are not demons, but the beliefs of all common people must be respected. It is also absolutely essential that we prove that they exist, if for no other reason than to give warning to people. The fact is that they are predators, and as such, have a very keen sense of smell. Further, they are far more likely to attack, at the smell of blood. For that reason, they consistently prey upon girls of child bearing age. They also prey upon children, as they are easier to pick up and carry away.

This brings me to the best method of proving their existence. Bear in mind that they are famous for releasing a ”cloud of smoke”, so called, which is not smoke at all, but it is toxic. In fact, it is so strong, it is capable of killing horses and cattle. We know this, for a fact, because that is precisely the manner is which they kill those animals. Then they rip the flesh from the face, as well as the genitals, and frequently tear out the large intestine.

Then in the morning, the owner of these animals stumbles upon these carcasses, furious and bewildered. Such owners generally call the police, which does no good, as it is not a police matter. After all, no laws have been broken. Humans were not involved in these killings. There is no law against wild animals killing livestock. If anything, it is a matter for the game warden. Yet it is rare that the game warden is even notified.

This brings me to the method we can use to prove that these predators exist. First, as soon as possible after the animal is killed, or at least within twenty four hours, draw out a sample of blood from the carcass. Send this sample to the lab, to be analyzed. The technicians in the lab will in turn determine the poison gas that was used to kill the animal. I am certainly curious. Second, at the same time, swab around the wound sites, and send those swabs also to the lab, for a DNA analysis. No doubt the lab will determine that the wounds were inflicted by a reptile, one which is not known to science.The third thing which has to be done is a bit more complicated, and requires a little explanation.

Close to the village in which I live, that of Tsay Keh Dene, there is a range of mountains, which the locals refer to as Buffalo Head. These mountains are quite distinctive, in that many of them have a very steep, or vertical face, commonly referred to as a cliff, or bluff, while the top of the mountain is horizontal, or flat. I refer to these as perpendicular mountains. It is such mountains that contain the nesting ground of the pterosaurs.

Thirty years ago, a logging road was built into that area, referred to as the Ten Thousand Road. The caves in those mountains, which are the nesting grounds of the pterosaurs, open up onto that road. Now it is a little matter of accessing those caves and placing cameras near the openings. That is not as easy as it sounds, as after the area was logged out, that road was deactivated. The point being that in order to access that nesting ground, the Ten Thousand Road will first have to be activated.

Of course that requires government permits, as well as money, in order to hire the proper equipment. Yet once we establish the fact that a great deal of livestock is being killed by poison gas, released from an animal which is not known to science, then no doubt sufficient pressure can be brought to bear upon the officials. As that is the case, in due time, we can expect them to become sweetly reasonable.

The second animal is also the source of a great many legends. It is nothing other than a separate species of human, referred to as Gigantopithecus, commonly called Sasquatch or Bigfoot. I refer to them as Giants, as they are huge, and the name is not derogatory. It is essential that we prove they exist, in order to pass laws to protect them. They have the right to live their lives as they see fit. We have no right to interfere with them. We certainly have no right to hunt them!

These Giants are nomads, members of a hunting-gathering society, so that they are frequently on the move, avoiding us. They know what a vicious bunch we are! Yet they also know that the Indigenous People are more tolerant. For that reason, on the Pacific Coast, the Giants frequently go onto the beaches, on the Reserves, after sundown. The Indigenous People respect the Giants, just as the Giants respect the Indigenous People. That is the way it should be!

That is also the place we can establish contact with the Giants. Rather than hunt them, we want to attract them. Allow them to come to us!

It is all a matter of securing the cooperation of the Elders who live on the Reserves. We must explain to them that we merely want to meet the Giants, in order to prove that they exist. Assuming we can get their cooperation, then it is a matter of putting out gifts for the Giants, on the beach, before sundown. Bear in mind that as they are human, they love the same things we love. That includes food such as vegetables, fruit, meat, fish and cheese, raw as well as cooked. Also, may I suggest steel mirrors, as they too want to know what they look like. Then there are cosmetics, in order to enhance their appearance. No doubt, they have baskets, but as they tend to be rather flimsy, more sturdy burlap bags will be appreciated.

I can only stress the fact that we want to attract them. No doubt, they will respond to our advances. Give them time, as they have no reason to trust us! Yet they trust the Indigenous People, so perhaps the breakthrough will take place somewhat sooner, rather than later.

The third item on our hit parade is also a source of numerous legends. In North America, it is most commonly referred to as Ogopogo, as it is frequently seen in Okanagan Lake. No doubt, that is a rather clever play on words. Mind you, the animal in Lake Champlain is called Champie. Also very clever! Then there is the animal in Loch Ness, called Nessie, if you can believe it. Very likely the same animal, although that remains to be determined.

Remarkably enough, locating this animal is simplicity itself. For the longest time, I was wondering how a fresh water lake, even a very large lake, could support a population of huge predators. I knew I was missing something, and fortunately, it was recently brought to my attention. This predator has legs!

I am now convinced that Ogopogo is in fact basilosaurus, a species of whale, one which is thought to be extinct. It is not extinct. It is a walking whale! It is a predator, but not a carnivore. It consumes vegetation as well as flesh, which makes it an omnivore. It is this varied diet which enables it to exist in fresh water lakes. It also makes it easy to locate.

This animal is nocturnal, so that it spends most of the daylight hours inside underwater caves. Then, after sundown, it comes out of the water and grazes on vegetation, in meadows adjacent to the lake. No doubt, it mainly eats grass, so that the meadow appears to have been mowed.

These ”grazed meadows” are the key to locating this animal. May I suggest sending a drone over the banks of the lake, looking for a meadow which appears to have been mowed. That is the grazing ground of basilosaurus. Then place a camera, perhaps even a trail camera, upon a tree at the edge of that meadow. It is very likely that the animal will be seen in the moon light. Mission accomplished!

These are quite simple tasks, yet also revolutionary. The billionaires, the bourgeoisie, have to be overthrown and crushed, under the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat. In order to accomplish that, the working class, the proletariat, has to become active. This is one manner in which workers can make a difference. In fact, they can take part in a number of major scientific break throughs.

It may help to think of this as preparation for the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat, because that is precisely the case. After the revolution, workers will be placed in positions of authority, within the new socialist government. Any training workers receive now, will prove to be of great value, after the revolution.

My hope is that cells of workers will come together and cooperate in proving the existence of these magnificent animals. These cells can also form the nucleus of revolutionary bodies. Success will no doubt attract others, so that the cells are bound to grow. Let the slogan be: Prepare For the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat!

For many years, countless people have reported seeing an animal in Okanagan Lake, one which is not known to science. In fact, the scientific community continues to dismiss these accounts. As many of the people who have reported such sightings are solid, respectable, hard working common people, such a dismissal is nothing less than offensive.

A friend of mine lives beside Okanagan Lake, and has seen this animal, on several occasions. As he is an artist, he has composed a drawing of the animal. It is clearly long and slender, and matches the description of basilosaurus, a whale which, according to the scientists, went extinct thirty million years ago. He also reports that people have seen sprays of water, rising from the surface of the lake. This I should have expected, as that is characteristic of whales. The remainder of his report came as a complete shock, or a ”bombshell”, as I refer to it. He informs me that there are scuba divers who have reported seeing ”tracks on the bottom of the lake”!

The implication is that this animal, this whale, still has legs! True, all whales had legs, fifty million years ago, during the time they walked on land. Then, as these mammals took to the water, over a period of many millions of years, they gradually lost their legs, as they had no use for them. Biologists refer to this as a ”natural result of evolution”. So how is it that this whale could still have legs?

This calls for an explanation, as no doubt most readers are skeptical, properly so. We can start by facing the fact that within any social network, friends, or ”buddies”, do not lie to each other. They may lie to outsiders, but not to each other. These scuba divers are members of the same social circle as my friend. For that reason, I believe they actually saw those tracks. Yet it is doubtful that they are aware of the implications.

There are times when common people stumble upon something which has wide ranging implications, yet fail to recognize this. They may just think of it as a curiosity, a subject of conversation. I suspect this is one of those times. The tracks, which the scuba divers saw, are something more than a curiosity.

As an example, many years ago, one of my friends stumbled upon a huge egg. As he described it, ”as big as an ostrich egg, and it had a thick skin”. He lost track of it, as he thought it to be of no importance. He had no way of knowing that it was the egg of a pterosaur, an animal which is thought to have gone extinct many millions of years ago, and as such, was a ”million dollar egg”. One of his relatives broke it open, because he ”wanted to see what was inside it”. Of course, all eggs contain embryos, and this egg was no exception. It contained an embryo. Imagine that! So much for the million dollar egg!

A similar situation was also brought to my attention. In that case, a great many people saw tracks in fresh fallen snow. These tracks were quite distinctive, very large, slender and widely spaced. No one recognized them. From their description, it is clear that they were the tracks of a pterosaur. I say this because we know precisely the shape of pterosaur tracks. The scientists have stumbled upon the fossilized trackways of pterosaurs, so that leaves no room for any misunderstanding. No other animal leaves tracks even remotely resembling those tracks! Yet the people who stumbled upon those tracks were of course unaware of this.

This is to say that I believe the reports of the scuba divers, especially as it helps to explain a few things. For some time now, I have been wondering how a fresh water lake, even a very large one, could support a population of very large predators. True, reptiles require far less nourishment, pound for pound, than mammals, but then reptiles tend to prey upon humans, at every opportunity. As there have been no reports, of which I am aware, of ”ogopogo” attacking people, then it must not be a reptile. It stands to reason that it must be a mammal. As that is the case, in order to survive, it must consume all other animals which swim in that lake, aside from humans, as well as fish.

Yet the presence of tracks suggests only one thing: this whale still has legs! As that is the case, it must still use those legs, as otherwise it would have lost them, millions of years ago. The only logical explanation is that it comes out of the water after sundown, in order to eat vegetation, to graze.

We can compare this to the hippopotamus of Africa. These animals eat meat and vegetation. They come out of the water after sundown, in order to graze on vegetation, mainly grass. That is their main source of nourishment. Apparently they cannot tolerate the heat of the sun.

It is reasonable to assume that basilosaurus has adopted the same survival mechanism. They very likely come out of the water, after sundown, and consume grass. If that is the case, the task of locating them just became much easier. It is simply a matter of finding meadows, located around the edge of the lake, which appear to have been mowed, as indeed they have. That is the grazing ground of basilosaurus.

Remarkably enough, this animal may be something more than the only whale with legs. It may also be the largest land dwelling animal in the world, even heavier than the woolly mammoth. According to the internet, they may weigh fifteen tons. That is one huge animal!

I can only hope that this information will inspire people to join in the search for ogopogo, an animal which I maintain is basilosaurus. If true, then you can take part in a major scientific breakthrough. If not true, then you can quite cheerfully point out my mistake.

It may help to think of this as part of the revolutionary motion, as that is precisely the case. Working people have to become politically active, and that includes challenging scientific theories. This is a fine place to start. Consider this to be part of training, preparation for the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat.

The capitalists are faced with a number of crises. The threat of default is uppermost in their minds, and there is a distinct possibility that this could happen within the next few weeks, in early December. There is also the Covid 19 virus, which is once again raging out of control. Add to that the massive unemployment and homelessness, with winter fast approaching, so that the ”discontent” of so many Americans is causing quite a stir. To top it all off, one of their own, Donald Trump no less, the former president, is already campaigning to run for president in 2024! That is the same lad who has been blamed for the ”January 6 Insurrection”!

One of the most highly respected of the American bourgeois news sources has reported, on October 11 of this year, that ”the Republican fealty to Donald Trump is again thrusting the U.S. form of democracy into peril”. That is one way of putting it! That same article goes on to say that ”the growing fear outside the committed base of the GOP (the Republican Party) is that the attempted coup of 2021 was not a one off, but rather ‘a dress rehearsal for something that could be happening near term, in 2022 or 2024”’. They report that these are the words of a ”Brooking Institute senior fellow (who)…says that the US is in a dangerous place…it is absolutely appropriate to view the Capitol Insurrection as a sort of pre-revolutionary act”.

The facts are stated correctly. The conclusion that this most bourgeois writer, of the most bourgeois news outlet, comes to, can at best be described as rather strange: ”The coming question for all Americans is whether their government should be run by a president and a government selected by voters”. Perhaps someone should suggest to this simple soul that the Constitution makes it clear: The president is elected by the members of the Electoral College!

Strange as this attitude may be, it is also quite common. The writer goes on to say: ”This past weekend provided multiple examples of how the GOP is moving to fully embrace Trump and his overtly antidemocratic views. This antiquated view of constitutional law is the bedrock of a growing view that legislatures and not voters should select presidents”.

No one is arguing that the ”constitutional law” is not ”antiquated”. It is ”antiquated”. Nor is it democratic. That in no way changes the fact that it is still the law!

The former Democratic candidate for president, Hillary Clinton, has also weighed in on the matter. She stated that ”the United States is in the midst of a concerted, well funded effort to undermine American democracy. I think we not only came close to a full constitutional crisis, I think we are still in it. That give me absolutely no satisfaction in saying this, because I think we’re at a very dangerous, continuing high level attack on the legitimacy of our government and the election of our president. And obviously, our former president is not only behind it, he incited it, he encouraged it, and he continues to do so.”

This lady is correct when she says that ”American democracy” is in danger. The fact is that democracy is not majority rule, it is a method of class rule. In the case of ”American democracy”, it is a matter of the rule of the billionaires, the bourgeoisie. That is the ”American democracy” to which she is referring, and that is certainly under attack. Yet even Hillary Clinton refuses to face the fact -or is not capable of facing the fact?- that it is the working class, the proletariat, that is ”undermining American democracy”.

In response to this ”full constitutional crisis”, various bourgeois intellectuals have decided to take steps. As the same article goes on to say, quoting two sources who are thought to be close to the ”GOP base”: ”Moderate Republicans are encouraging people to vote for Democrats. It’s becoming obvious that political extremists maintain a vice like grip on the National GOP, the state parties, and the process for fielding and championing House and Senate candidates in next years election.” They go on to state that ”they and others have considered forming a party to appeal to disaffected Republicans….Rational Republicans are losing the GOP civil war. And the only near term way to battle pro-Trump extremists is for all of us to team up on key races and overarching political goals with our long time political opponents: the Democratic Party.”

The astute reader may well get the idea that those opinions, expressed by some of the finest of the bourgeois intellectuals, are completely muddled. So they are. In fact, during times of crisis, as Lenin put it, ”they cannot help committing irreparable blunders. That, in fact, is what will bring about the downfall of the bourgeoisie”.

These simple souls think that Trump is the root cause of all their misfortunes. They are of the opinion that he may even influence the ”2022 midterm elections”, so that more ”Moderates” may be elected to the House and Senate. Worse, he may even run for president in 2024! The elections of 2022 and 2024 are their idea of ”near term”! If that is not an example of muddled thinking, then I do not know what is!

As for the skeptical reader, one who suspects that this may be an exceptional case of misguided bourgeois intellectuals, may I refer you to the following article, dated the same day. The heading is instructive:

”Trump supporter thinks civil war is coming. Seriously.

”The vast majority of Americans have no interest in violent confrontation, so there was something jarring in the words of a supporter at Trumps Iowa rally, when he said very seriously that ‘civil war is coming’. That kind of active mindset is exactly what was behind the insurrection. It’s clearly around – and it was blooming at Trumps rally”.

The best and the brightest of the bourgeois scholars cannot see that which is happening! Civil war is approaching! And to think that a ”supporter of Trump” can see this! The fact that he is such a ”supporter” implies that he is one of the less advanced, yet even he can see the ”writing on the wall”. That says something for the best and brightest of the bourgeois scholars!

Remarkably enough, a similar situation took place in Britain, perhaps one hundred years ago. At that time, the two mainstream political parties were the Liberals and Conservatives. They too were facing a mounting revolutionary motion, as the discontent of the British working people was very broad and deep. In response to this, the Prime Minister, Lloyd George, called for a close coalition between the Liberals and Conservatives. His fear was that of a victory for the Labour Party, which Lloyd George referred to as ”Socialist”, and one which he accused of ”working for the common ownership of the means of production”.

It should be added that the leaders of the Labour Party were Snowden and Henderson. With that in mind, the advice of Lenin, to the British Communists, makes complete sense.

In response to this, Lenin suggested that: ”British Communists should participate in parliamentary action, that they should, from within parliament, help the masses of the workers see the results of a Henderson and Snowden government in practice, and that they should help the Hendersons and Snowdens defeat the united forces of Lloyd George and Churchill. To act otherwise would mean hampering the cause of the revolution, since revolution is impossible without a change in the views of the majority of the working class, a change brought about by the political experience of the masses, never by propaganda alone….given a Henderson and Snowden victory over Lloyd George and Churchill, the majority will soon become disappointed in their leaders and begin to support communism (or at all events will adopt an attitude of neutrality, and in the main, of sympathetic neutrality, towards the Communists).” (italics by Lenin)

In much the same way, American Communists should unite with all Leftist people, including all Socialists and reformists, in an effort to support Senator Sanders, an Independent Socialist, as well as all ”Progressives” in the House. One way to do this is by simply joining the two mainstream political parties, as card carrying members, and then nominating one of their own to run for each and every House seat, in the 2022 election. I would suggest that the Progressive members of the House be allowed to run again, but of course that is up to the card carrying members of the parties. A third of the members of the Senate are also up for reelection. Aside from Sanders, they should all be challenged.

No doubt, this will infuriate the billionaires, especially as they have been saying for years, that ”those who do not like the way things are, should change it from within”. I can only suggest that we take them at their word. In this way, ”American democracy” can be changed from the rule of the bourgeoisie, to the rule of the proletariat. Not likely!

Yet in the process of becoming politically active, the working class, or at least the most advanced members of the proletariat, will receive an education in class conflict. They will learn that the billionaires are in charge and fully intend to remain in charge.

The point is that, as Lenin said, ”propaganda alone” is not enough. Political experience is also required. There is no reason in the world that we cannot flood Washington with Progressives! Then watch the ”fur fly”!

No doubt, the capitalists will respond with actions, which will leave no room for any misunderstandings. As yet, we have no way of knowing the precise nature of those actions. We just know that it will not be pleasant. They will be sure to let the proletariat know that they, the bourgeoisie, are in charge!

In this way, the working class will gain practical political experience, which will no doubt serve them well. After the revolution, such workers will be placed in positions of authority.

A great many working people, or at least the most advanced workers, will learn that the only alternative to capitalism, is scientific socialism. Bourgeois democracy, in the form of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, must be replaced with working class democracy, in the form of the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat.

The press is reporting that Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, has just ”blinked”, thereby avoiding a government default, as the country was due to run out of money on October 18. As the Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, warned everyone that ”nothing would be more harmful to the currency than default”, this came as a great relief to all economists.

The announcement was carefully stage managed. As McConnell read his speech, before the cameras, the person sitting behind him was Senator Manchin. It was clear that Manchin was completely dejected, with his head down and his hands covering his face. The message to the American public was unmistakable. Manchin disapproves of the fact that McConnell, and the Republican Party, have allowed the several hundred billion dollar increase to the national debt. Such a scene was worthy of a Hollywood movie! The actual decision was made, ”behind the scenes”, and the speeches made in Congress are for the benefit of the common people. Entertainment!

Just as any fine story teller ends an episode on a ”cliff hanger”, so too this particular edition of Washington Politics is no exception. The politicians have merely ”kicked the can down the road”, in that they have merely bought themselves a few weeks. Instead of having the country facing default in late October, they will face default in early December. This is carefully designed to entertain the members of the American public. God forbid that the ”lower class” should get any bright ideas! Not all of then know their proper place!

The billionaires have cause to be concerned. It may come as a great surprise to many people to learn that the monopoly capitalists, or the ”500 billionaires”, as President Biden refers to them, are supremely well aware of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. No doubt, all of them have learned this in university.

None of these billionaires earned their vast fortunes. They were born into families with great wealth. As that is the case, their parents made sure that they received the finest education, so that they could gain admission into the finest universities in the country. If their offspring failed to qualify, because of a lack of academic ability -otherwise known as stupidity- then a little ”palm greasing” cleared any obstacles. In this manner, even the most intellectually challenged -a certain former president comes to mind- were able to graduate with high honours. That is true to this day.

As university students, most of these youngsters, even those whom are quite stunned, tend to focus on certain subjects which interest them, such as economics, law and political science.

With a good grounding in economics, they are better able to manipulate the stock market, as a means of stealing from other capitalists. Those who are most familiar with the law, are better able to commit legal acts of theft, or at least know to break the law, without getting caught. That brings us to political science, in which they learn of the most heretical revolutionary theory of all, that of the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat, the very ”touch stone” of a true Marxist.

It has been suggested that the billionaires, the bourgeoisie, are the new ”American Nobility”. Although possibly said in jest, there is some truth to this. Just as the nobility are supremely well aware of themselves as a class, and consider the ”lower classes” to be completely contemptible, so too the bourgeoisie feel the same way.

Yet they are well aware that the common people occasionally get into motion. In particular, they are of the opinion that the working class, the proletariat, are supremely dangerous. In this, they are absolutely correct. Further, they are equally well aware that the revolutionary motion is sweeping the country. As they have managed to almost completely wipe out all other classes, including the farmers and middle class, the small business owners, that just leaves a huge class of proletarians. Not only are they dangerous, they are numerous!

As that is the case, the loyal servants of the billionaires have devised a plan to divert the revolutionary motion. They are trying to attract the attention of the working people to the political power plays in Washington, all of which is carefully stage managed. Let the workers think that there are politicians who really care about them!

Our response, by whom I mean all Leftist people, must be to focus on raising the level of awareness of all working people, proletarians. Just as the monopoly capitalists are well aware that they are members of a class known as the bourgeoisie, so too we must make the workers aware that they are members of a class known as the proletariat. Further, those of us who work for wages are proletarians, and that is not middle class. Just as members of the trade unions refer to each other as brother and sister, so too it is reasonable to expect that working people will begin to refer to each other in this manner. Very likely, at some point, that will change to the term comrade.

The proletariat has already made great strides in this direction. For many years, the existence of classes in North America was simply denied. Then at the time of the Occupy Movement, working people began to refer to themselves as the 99%, and the ”super rich” as the 1%. That was the beginning, the first vague glimmering, of the awareness of classes. Now people are openly referring to classes, even though in a manner which is mistaken. As I have gone into this in a different article, there is no need to repeat it here.

There are various ways of driving home the awareness of the existence of classes, and of the antagonism between them. The press is reporting that the politicians are already focused on the midterm elections, even though it is still a year away. So be it. As I have previously mentioned on numerous occasions, all Leftist people, including all working people, should join the two mainstream political parties, as card carrying members.

Bear in mind that all members of the House of Representatives are up for reelection, as well as one third of the Senate. It is the card carrying members of the two parties who determine the candidate for office, and that does not have to be the sitting politician. May I suggest that the card carrying members endorse the ”Progressive” members of the House, and possibly the Senate, assuming there are any. May I also suggest that different candidates be selected for all offices which are occupied by the ”Moderates”.

Among the working people who join the two parties, they can decide, among themselves, the person to run for office, in any particular district. The Moderate politician is of course free to run for that same office, just not as a Democrat or Republican.

But then the former candidate for the presidency, Andrew Yang, has just announced the formation of a new party, named Forward Party. Perhaps the Moderates can run on behalf of that party. Fly at it!

Bear in mind that the purpose of joining the two parties and running for office, is not to take over Washington. The goal is to raise the level of awareness of the working class, the proletariat. Any Leftist political candidate who secures such an office, is merely a bonus. The monopoly capitalists, those who are ruling the country, are not about to allow any challenge to their authority. They are sure to respond by changing the rules, and in the process, will be more exposed. In this way, the working people will receive a valuable education, becoming ever more class conscious.

There is also a need for more marches and demonstrations, as such events are less frequent. The billionaires must be harassed at their places of business, homes and entertainment. Restaurants and clubs must be targeted. All Leftist people can unite in this. But then the Marxists, Communists, must be allowed to make clear our belief in the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat. Without that condition, such an alliance is not possible.

Other entertainment, in the news, is being provided by Donald Trump. He still maintains that the election was rigged -they are all rigged!- but not in his favour, so he is upset. Then too, he is scolding Mitch McConnell and the other ten Republican Senators, those who voted to raise the debt ceiling. Siding with the Democrats is rank betrayal! Of course the debt ceiling was raised several times under his administration, so the hypocrisy of the man is not lost on the public. More entertainment!

We all need a good laugh, now and then, so a round of applause to the capitalists! Now it is time to get back to work.

With that in mind, it is time for conscious people to become active. Encourage all workers and Leftist people to join the two parties. That includes students and seniors. Organize marches and demonstrations, in support of the Progressives. Nominate Leftist candidates for all political offices. Defend and support all those who are defending our democratic rights, regardless of our personal attitude towards them. Put aside all personal differences. Place principle before personality. Call for unity with all those who are fighting for democracy and socialism. Join in the demand for reforms. Bear in mind that reforms ”strengthen and further” the revolutionary motion.

Concentrate on the most advanced workers, as the less advanced listen carefully to the more advanced. Make sure such workers are aware of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. The importance of smashing the existing state apparatus, and replacing it with a working class apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat, must be stressed.

Literature must be prepared for all working people, very popular literature for the less advanced, as they must not be neglected. Bear in mind that the social chauvinists will try to use them, for their own purposes.

There is an urgent need of a true Communist Party, one which openly calls for the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat. In this way, we can distinguish ourselves from the social chauvinists. As such people are anxious to take advantage of the revolution, in order to set themselves up as the new rulers, the last thing they want is to see, is the state apparatus smashed.

We will know that our message is being received, that the working people are class conscious, when a hot topic of conversation is: Dictatorship Of the Proletariat!

The finest of the American economists assure us that the country is facing ”default” on October 18, as it will run out of money on that day, unable to pay its bills, unless the government raises the national debt limit. They are predicting ”economic chaos”, a ”disaster”, as all Social Security payments are cancelled, the military personnel do not get paid, and the banks do not receive their interest payments, on the national debt.

In response to this, President Biden does not seem too concerned, as he is starting a ”cross country tour”, in order to ”drum up support” for his Economic Plan. This is rather strange, as he says he ”can’t guarantee no debt default”. But then he is blaming it on the Republicans, for not raising the national debt. He refers to this as ”playing Russian Roulette with the American economy”. Joe Biden certainly knows how to pass the buck!

Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican Minority Leader of the Senate, has a different point of view. He pointed out that it is the Democrats who control both Houses of Congress, so it is up to the Democrats to raise the National debt ceiling, should they so desire. He maintains that they can do this through the ”Reconciliation Process”, which may take a couple of weeks. Therefore, if the country goes into default, then it is all the fault of the Democrats! He too knows how to pass the buck! But then the Republicans are focused on the upcoming midterm election! They have their priorities well established!

The Speaker of the House, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, is focused on a vote, concerning the Economic Development Plan, which she has scheduled for October 31, long after the country could face bankruptcy. Perhaps she knows something we do not?

As for those who find this political posturing to be confusing, Lenin provides a little clarification. As he phrased it, ”Take any parliamentary country….the actual work of ‘state’ is done behind the scenes … Parliament itself is given up to talk for the special purpose of fooling the ‘common people’…the real ‘state’ business is being done in the government offices”. Now that explains everything!

The politicians are nothing more than highly paid actors. Professional writers prepare their speeches, and professional ”handlers”, or coaches, train them to perform. Emphasis is placed on the tone of voice, facial expression, posture and ”body language”. The ability to fake sincerity is stressed. Speeches are rehearsed and the proper response to awkward questions are recited. Nothing is left to chance.

Perhaps we can compare this to a second rate movie, or even a professional ”wrestling entertainment” event. As such events are geared to the mentality of adolescents, it may be more appropriate. Or perhaps a ”Soap Opera”. The writers of ”Soaps” make a supreme effort to end each show on a ”cliff hanger”, perhaps with an announcer making a speech. I can only imagine such a scene: ”Will Joe Biden get his Economic Development Plan? Will Nancy Pelosi get her vote on October 31? Will Mitch McConnell ”blink” and support the president? Will the Dastardly Duo of Senators Sinema and Manchin pull a ”Grinch Who Stole Christmas”, have a change of heart, and shower the American public with gifts of jobs and ”stimie checks”? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Political Posturing!”

All joking aside, and that last part was meant as a joke, it is clear that someone, working ”behind the scenes”, has prepared a script. We do not know precisely who that is, nor is it terribly important. The important thing is that we know the class that is being served. That class is of the monopoly capitalists, the billionaires, the bourgeoisie.

The script has been written, the ”puppet master” is ”pulling the strings” of the politicians, and they are ”dancing to his tune”. This is not to say that the ”common people” should play along! On the contrary, that is all the more reason to ”throw a monkey wrench into the works”! After all, the capitalists are doing their best to take advantage of us! One good turn deserves another!

With that in mind, I can only suggest that we take the capitalists at their word! They say that if we do not like the way things are, then we should ”change the system from within”! Outstanding! An excellent idea!

Accordingly, may I suggest that all those who took part in the ”Bernie World Diaspora”, or the ”Berniespora” (these expressions are not mine) should come together and form a United Leftist Front. It is not too late to get behind Senator Sanders and President Biden, as well as the ”Progressives” and the ”Squad” in Washington.

May I further suggest that all Leftist people, including all ”common people”, from students to seniors, join the two political parties, as card carrying members. Then elect a member, of your choice, to run for political office. Demand that the rich ”pay their fair share of taxes”, perhaps at a rate of 90%. The extra tax money can go towards university education, free medical and dental for all, an increase in pensions, a $15. per hour minimum wage, repairs toward the infrastructure of the country, and ”stimie checks”, among other things. No doubt ”common people” will flock to this!

In the process of attempting to flood Washington with Leftist people, the monopoly capitalists will be sure to ”show their true colours”. They will make it clear that they are in charge, they rule, it is in fact a ”dictatorship of the bourgeoisie”, and further, they are not about to stand for any challenge to their authority.

In the mean time, prepare for a government default. You never know. It could be written in the script.

In this way, people will learn that the Marxists are correct, that a violent revolution is required, and that the completely reactionary class of monopoly capitalists, have to be overthrown and crushed, under the Dictatorship Of the Proletariat.
