For any interested, there is more information on Democratic Marxism on the Fb page of The Democratic Marxist Party of Ontario (https://www.facebook.com/Democratic-...10768894126939).

Hi Dilip: The foundational document of DM, besides the Communist Manifesto, is a document I wrote called: The Father's Day Manifesto. It is pinned to the top of the Democratic Marxist Global Institute's Fb page: (https://www.facebook.com/Democratic-...dmin_todo_tour).
It sets out both the long-term goals of Democratic Marxism and the strategy for implementation through the ballot box.

Hi Sam: The Democratic Marxist Global Institute (DMGI) does not yet have a website.......current lack of funds and volunteer website designers.......but eventually!
Two books that are helpful, and on the 2021 DM Reading List (I can post it if requested by a ChessTalk member), are:- The New Democratic Theory – Kenneth Megill
- Chile's Democratic Road to Socialism – Michael H. Fleet

Morning, Bob.
Can you provide any additional sources of information as to what Democratic Marxism is (beyond the FB page)? All I can find is a wiki entry that basically says that is it simply Marxism.
Democratic Marxism is authentic Marxism—the Marxism which emphasizes the necessity for revolutionary action. Loyalty to the movement, not loyalty to any particular doctrine, is characteristic of the orthodox democratic Marxist.

The good old days was probably up to the 1970s. Ontario had 1.000 factories, good paying union jobs, and workers could afford to buy a home.Reaganomics increased the divide between the wealthy and the poor.
Libertarianism was funded by the Kochs who wanted to increase oil profits with disregard to the long term deaths caused by pollution. Only big government can stand up to big corporations.
Trump ends his reign with executions of mentally ill on death row.

Bill Gates, Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett give their opinion on the debate between capitalism and socialism...

...and just as an aside, Bill Gates is now America's largest private farmland owner ... 240,000+ acres :)

The nurturing, compassionate, helpful-in-need 'human face' has always existed in the extended family, the neighborhood, the local providers, the local 'church' (or other local congregations)... and has worked very efficiently over centuries in all parts of our world...
But it is being usurped by the faceless mega-government wasteful and often harmful 'socialist' projects, giving a high pedestal to authoritarian bureaucrats (who keep on mesmerizing till such time as they get kicked out with multi-million dollar severances), to corrupt politicians and to 'super-human' capitalists who are able to amass wealth out of all proportion to any human being's capabilities....
The traditional churches weren''t helpful to those family members who were homosexuals., or slaves. Capitalism drew people away from their extended families to find jobs. Needed people for temporary work then laid them off with no income.
We live in a mixed economy where government contracts are a major source of Capitalist income. How wealthy would Canadian banks be without government debt?
What would be a non-socialist government project? Roads? Hydro? Hospitals? Schools?Immigration? Construction and industrial safety regulations? Aren't all government projects wasteful? Especially the military. And we have the expensive two language policy.
Corrupt politicans need to be voted out asap. Doesnt't happen in a one-party communist state. I think centralized services can be faceless. Getting rid of highly-paid bureaucrats is a problem everywhere.

Hi Bob G: One day, hopefully not too far away, The Democratic Marxist Global Institute (DMGI) will have the funds to also produce such an excellent video - explaining its divide from both Democratic Marxism and USSR-style Communism, not to mention Wild-west Capitalism, Democratic Capitalism, and capitalist Social Democracy.

I really like the video Sam posted explaining Democratic Socialism. Easy to understand.
Bob A. you need a nice video like that to explain Democratic Marxism.
But back to the main topic of the thread, Can Biden govern?
I was delighted with Biden's speech yesterday. He focused on raising the minimum wage, fighting climate change, taxing the wealthy, and criminal justice.
Just the issues important to the progressive wing, and Bernie will be chairman of the budget committee! Excellent.
