RPR,
It if foolish to believe that socialism is all about revolutions coming down from the mountain. Socialism is about creating enough infrastructure to keep people from being so exploited that they have to LEAVE in search of work and or study or just a way of finding some kind of security for their families and their communities. But so many people are so BRAINWASHED by what the capitalist elite feeds them that they never stop with the blather and start coping with the reality that MOST working people are playing musical chairs in this world. The Haitians invade the Dominicans, the Dominicans invade the Puerto Ricans, the Mexicans and the Puerto Ricans both invade the USA and etc. etc. All of those societies live in Capitalism mostly but they are not able to 'make it'? Why not?

This is not about revolution. This is about colonialism and its disfunctionality in history. And the socialists are very good at challenging that old Capitalist-Imperial combination. Lol. Even though many are attached to the consumption and the 'pan y circo'. Pan y circo is not going to solve the lack of opportunities and the artificial economy and the stagnation we are experiencing. So stop the brainwashing and start with the REALITY check.

Who thinks stupidly that Puerto Rico is on the brink of some violent revolution? Again, people will take the crap for YEARS and CENTURIES, as long as they have some bread in their mouths and a roof over their heads. What might do PR in, is the crime, the drugs, the lawlessness and the steady decay in many social mores. All because they fail to align their political situation with their cultural identification. And it will get to a point of do or die. Eventually. I just hope the DO wins out!

The world is a lot smaller than many think. People are learning about other people from all over the world. It is a great tool. But as Miranda mentions there is a lot of SHEER GARBAGE AND JUNK out there too. You have to use your head and sort it all out.

BTW, as everyone celebrates the Independence Day of the USA, when are we going to get our independence? In one thousand years? It is ironic that so many Puerto Ricans celebrate and like the idea of the USA's independence, but they don't love the idea of their own nations sovereignty, and don't do much for their own ethnicity's nation and sense of independence. Son unos vendidos de verdad.

Is the internet going to change the lack of 'conscience' of some sectors of society?
