The 4 Equalities

#FDR "I have always believed and frequently have stated that my own party (the Democrats) can succeed at the polls only so long as it continues to be the party of militant liberalism “ (1938)

Militant liberalism = social democracy!

Dems won big… now if only they knew who they were and what is to be done! My advice… study up on FDR, the New Deal, and social democracy.

Paine says #NoKings
November 2, 2025 at 9:04 PM
We have it in our power to begin the world over again -Thomas Paine, Common Sense, ‘76

In every generation, Paine has inspired Americans to struggle not just for #NoKings, but also freedom, equality, and democracy for all Americans!

“NO KINGS” SHOULD ENCOMPASS NOT ONLY THE OBVIOUS POLITICAL ASPIRANT, BUT ALSO — AS FDR PUT IT BACK IN 1936 — THE “ECONOMIC ROYALISTS”…

I hope some day we finally come to appreciate how our 3 greatest leaders – Washington, Lincoln, FDR – were made truly great by working people (artisans, farmers, & slaves/slaves, farmers, & workers/farmers & workers) pushing them from the bottom up in the 1770s/1860s/1930s...

Not just no kings!
“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power.”— #FDR 1936

#ThomasPaine made the fundamental case for #NoKings in Common Sense (1776) and turned our colonial rebellion into a Revolution for American independence and a democratic republic 🇺🇸

“I think patriotism- our patriotism - has never been better defined than by Paine - he hit it off in several places. For instance, where he says - the world is my country to do good is my religion - that is the whole gospel of politics, life.” - Walt Whitman, our great democratic poet 🇺🇸

“The creative capacity itself seems to have gone out of American political life . . . What strikes me hardest about all this is the terrible waste of history it involves . . .”

Too many of those who prate about saving democracy are really only interested in saving things as they were. Democracy should concern itself also with things as they ought to be. #FDR 1938

It is hilarious- and yet tragic

Next year is the 250th bday of the USA. Let’s start remembering & teaching how generations of Americans native-born & newly-arrived rejected the idea of the end of history and fought to realize the Revolutionary promise of freedom, equality, and democracy.

Have you seen this?
September 28, 2025 at 12:01 PM
Get ready for the 250th. Reject both empty patriotism & empty trash talk. Recall how generations of Americans native-born & newly-arrived alike have rejected the idea that the Revolution was over and fought to realize the Revolutionary promise of freedom, equality, democracy. 🇺🇸
