My posts on DU over the past 8+ years have constantly referenced the class war -- I've lost count of how many times I've simply posted, "No war but class war!"

I've also consistently asserted that we need to break free from focusing on electoral politics and partisan identification and instead concentrate our energies on building up a social movement outside of electoral and partisan politics.

It has long been my belief that the way to free ourselves from the oppressions of the dominant system is to build our own alternative community-based structures that operate outside of it and unbeholden to it. To whatever degree we are able, we need to cease cooperating with our own enslavement.

As I said in one of my other posts on this thread, in reference to Gandhi, we need to make our own salt.

Thank you for your thoughtful post.
