United States Of Eurasia

I see what is going on from the world, sadly from the sidelines. The fact that I can't do much about it really hurts. I recently watched the movie 1984, and was refreshed about the book. Although the movie wasn't as good as the book, it did hold true to the story. The parallels that I see between "the Party," and what the Republicans are doing to this country.

For those who did not read 1984, "the Party" is the group in control of Oceania, they are supposed to be a fascist communist state under Big Brother. Although the story is supposed be about about something the left is big on, it show more of the fascist side. Currently in the United States we are seeing a problem with budgets. Budgets in the some states are fledgling, as is the countries. To combat this problem Republicans are slashing everything. They are cutting education, basic rights, and causing jobs to be lost. We are coming out, all be it slowly, of the recession, jobs are still scarce, but there is signs of recovery.

Now here is the scary part. It is Wisconsin.

Wisconsin is where unions were formed, and the five day work week was first implemented. Currently this state is under Republican control, and what happens, mass budget cuts. According to the governor, basically dissolving unions will take a huge chunk out of their deficit. That is not the case, it is just small percentage of their problem. If I knew more on their problem, I would talk about what should be cut, but I do not. There are other things that can be done to fix a deficit. Anyways, tonight the republicans circumvented a law, and voted to get rid of public worker unions. They did this without the democrats, as a "nuclear" effort as MSNBC has put it, and not Wisconsin's unions are on their death beds. (Don't worrk I'm getting to my 1984 references)

This is only the first state to try this. There are others to follow, Michigan and Indiana are next. Indiana however there is a super-majority there so it will pass easily, but Michigan is next.

Without these unions, big corporations will douse millions on republican, and democrats will not have as much money come election time to run their elections. This would thus create a republican monopoly. A one party system, similar to what "the Party" is in 1984. The republicans are hell bent on seeing that the top 2% succeed while the rest, the proles are left tp toil and suffer. They want to strip liberties, and basically bury us so they can profit. There is no humanity in them. Not only that, they are trying to change history and basically making it seem like the past wasn't their fault, but rather democrats, even though democrats did not have control over the time the budget deficit started surfacing. They want us to forget that it was their fault, just how "the Party" changed the past.

It is scary, and we are turning a blind eye. We look to the sky for answers, but only get more questions. There is no end in sight, and things will only get worse.

PROLES WILL RISE!!!-SP
