Potholes and garbage collection, not diatribes, drive local politics.


"Socialism is about democratizing the family to get rid of patriarchal relations; democratizing the political sphere to get genuine participatory democracy; democratizing the schools by challenging the hierarchical relationship between the teachers of the school and the students of the school."

That's a cultural- not a political - question.
There's no doubt that a cultural shift has been underway since the 1960's and is gaining steam.
Our tendency to politicize cultural questions is misguided.
