Great point Robert. But the except for the preamble, the constitution was mostly supportive of an oligarchic republic (not a socialist democracy). And in recent years the consent of governed (its vague attachment to the masses) has been increasing confused and manipulated. As Michael Harrington said, "in American we have socialism for the rich and free enterprise for the poor". And as John Steinbeck observed that "socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” As AI makes a third of the population completely irrelevant, perhaps we will finally redress the social obligations of our nation. In the meantime, elites and their willing Taliban of minions will continue to falsely equate socialism with a denial of liberty, and add to the mountains of fear and hatred. SERFS UP!
