More Evidence ‘Centrist’ Solutions Can’t Save Us

2. Things are bubbling beneath the surface in the world, and the heat is rising.

We've had a Greek winter, and are maybe headed into a Spanish spring.

The shape-shifting Occupy movement, Piketty, the Draft Warrenites, the Republicans starting to pretend they care about the peasants, studies like this one. The economic focus is shifting; people are rejecting austerity and the upward suck as the dominant themes of the world's economy.

More than 2 centuries ago, the sparks from our revolution were carried by the winds to France, where they started another conflagration. Now the whole world has become a tinderbox, ready to receive the sparks from flashpoints like Greece.

I get the feeling that the Arab Spring-->Madison Uprising-->Occupy movement was just a practice run.
