Fortunately, the US today has an alternative to its corruption and war-mongering, Bernie Sanders, in the Senate, Barbara Lee in the House, Kucinich, John Lewis of Georgia but the main impetus for social change lies with the Occupy Wall Street Movement which is dedicating itself to an alternative democracy in opposition to the corruption in Washington.

In the Occupy movement, we are all leaders and followers. The General Assembly is a tribute to what real democracy looks like and there is a revolution going on today in the US that can replace the hardened political process that we see in the Executive Branch, the Senate, Congress, and Supreme Court.

Occupy has already influenced the political process here and will continue to do so. Young people all over the world have had a taste of what genuine activism can bring from Egypt to Wall Street and it will only grow stronger.

It may not take the same form as it has now but will become more potent in future years.
Because this is true, the US is not finished by any means. Our Constitution is still vibrant and flexible.

The truth doesn't lie in party politics or existing government that is controlled by corporations, energy, MIC, or Citizens United rulings.

Resistance is a fact of American democracy today as it was in Poland under Communist dictatorship or Mubarak's domination.

You will also see the growth of trade unionism in the US when workers own their condition.

There will be struggles but growth.
