Political ideology and labels.

Terms like "communism" or "capitalism" are as misused these days, at least to my mind, as all the left/right paradigms thrown in our faces every day by our propaganda media.

One of my clients years ago was Dalton Trumbo, one of the Hollywood blacklisted writers, spent time in prison for being anti-capitalist, and a communist. He was just about rights for workers. He was one of the smartest and most caring and courageous persons I have had the privilege to meet and got to know personally.

We must remember that terms and their meanings change depending upon the political times and the agendas being thrust upon us. I can remember a few decades ago when I considered myself a "bleeding heart liberal".

Today, I reject all labels. I'm just now a fucking pissed off old man because we never seem to wake up. 😎

There is a "system" designed to control, define and contain us. Labels are their means of separation, and when will we stop falling for it?

The biggest question is? Well you can answer if you wish, but I believe it is all about reclaiming our souls, because that is all there is left that really matters.
