Charles: Thanks for publishing "Could a Socialist Gain Power" about Upton
Sinclair.  Fascinating.  And can think of few others, though there is
George Bernard Shaw and the writer of Alice in Wonderland.    The political
wars of 18th and 19th century England are quite inspiring, but then real
dissent in it's myriad wonderful forms seems not longer allowed after the
West became taught how not to dissent by the political Red Scare that seems
to shut everyone up but those who were 'Right'.  That was the gold of
Communism it offered a real check and balance to capitalism. As far as I
could understand.  Which is too little.

I was interested to read the name of the California Chandlers as they are
the uber wealthy clan who chose and put into power Ronnie Reagan, allying
themselves with the US oil corporations at the time.
What a horrible man he was!  They extending the paid propaganda methods of
destroying Sinclair to do the same thing to put Reagan in for 2 terms.  A
sad electoral system it is.  The Chandlers were the leaders of the millions
who felt Roosevelt was a traitor to his class, which he was!   To lead, he
had to be.  The Chandlers are a very private group.   The famous movie
about the California water wars should be remade...into the political wars
from 100 years ago....as looks California may turn into desert from China's
coal smoke clouds trapped in front of the Grand Canyon.   And Fukushima
fallout.  Quite a state.  Such injection of history makes today make more
sense.   Suzanne
