The great Ted Rall, once again speaking the truth. But the Obamabots still don't want to listen. (And for the umpteenth time, no, the Republicans aren't any better. When will you get it through your heads that "Red Team! Blue Team!" is a farce? Both teams are screwing you, people. When are you going to effing learn??)
I've written before about local and national treasure David Simon (click the tag "David Simon" anywhere on this blog or check out this link). He keeps ringing alarm bells, and people keep ignoring them. Well, lots of people, not all of us. But our overlords are certainly ignoring them.
I've been reading about Marinaleda for some time. A small village in the south of Spain, about 60 miles east of Seville, Marinaleda is a cooperative. A commune, a utopia, a socialist success story -- take your pick of terminology. The point is that it is a thriving community where everyone has a job, a home, a place in life. Poverty has been banished. There is no police force.
Yes, this place exists.
