The Republican Party appears to want to take us back to the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution.  There were many advantages to living at that time that Republicans want to restore.
1. There were no labor unions.
2. There was no welfare.
3. There was no social security.
4.  There was no health care.
5. There was no minimum wage.
6. There was no limit to hours of work.
7. Child labor was allowed.
8.  Most of society lived in poverty.
9. The capitalists were extremely wealthy.

The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain at the end of the 18th century.  It began in America in the middle of the 19th century.  There was no concern for the safety of the workers until 1900.  Men, women, and children worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for wages that did not support their needs.  This was unregulated capitalism.  It is what the one percent want to return to.  Romney has promised to repeal health care (Obama care) and to end Medicare for people under the age of 55.  Every other civilized nation in the world provides national health care.  This is called "socialism."  Obviously the American people do not want socialism.  This must mean that we do not want health care.  Of course, Congress and the President have a wonderful health care system for themselves as well as a lifetime pension plan.  But they realize that the American people would not like to have this.  After all, that would be socialism.

In the days of the Industrial Revolution, there were two men living and writing in England who were extremely upset by the suffering of the people who were at the mercy of the capitalists.  Charles Dickens, born 7 February 1812, wrote novels about the struggles of the people; this created empathy among the wealthier classes who finally began movements to bring about social changes which led to the formation of labor unions, limited working hours, better wages, ending child labor, etc.  Dickens died in 1870, at about the age of 58.

The other writer was Karl Marx who was born 5 May 1818.  Marx declared: "Workers of the world, unite!  We have nothing to lose but our chains."  Of course this was also a call for something like labor unions, or the more extreme approach of total revolution.  Marx died in 1883 at about the age of 65.  When the Russian peasants and poor, who represented 90 percent of the population of Russia revolted in 1917, Lenin rushed to Russia to create the first Marxist state.  

Here we are nearly one hundred years later.  Again the wealthy are seizing all the power and all the money.  We have the same choices as we had one hundred years ago.  We can work all over again for social change and regulations for capitalism, or we can create a total revolution as the Russian people did.  The third possibility is for all of us to accept the rule of the oligarchy of the rich capitalists and live in poverty without health care, education, or any future for ourselves and our children.

What will American choose.  This election will be a clear choice.
