Dear Bernie: join forces with the Greens, otherwise there will be no political revolution!

A straight message to Bernie Sanders


In his latest article in New York Times, Bernie Sanders concluded that the political revolution should be continued. He is right. In fact, the political revolution through the huge movement that he created, just begins. And, paradoxically, the Trump presidency may accelerate it, depending on whether Trump will expose his real face in his first term. A face which reveals that he is only a reserve of the establishment, in order to maintain power.

In previous article, it has been mentioned that “The establishment starts to sense the first cracks in its solid structure. But Bernie is only the appropriate tool. It's the American people who make the difference. No matter who will be elected eventually, the final countdown for the demolition of this brutal system has already started and it's irreversible. The question now is not if, but when it will collapse, and what this collapse will bring the day after. In any case, if people are truly united, they have nothing to fear.

Yet, what Sanders fails to identify for the moment, is that the bipartisan establishment cannot be defeated from the inside.

At the beginning, Sanders correctly states that “It is no shock to me that millions of people who voted for Mr. Trump did so because they are sick and tired of the economic, political and media status quo.”, but then, he writes that “In the coming days, I will also provide a series of reforms to reinvigorate the Democratic Party. I believe strongly that the party must break loose from its corporate establishment ties and, once again, become a grass-roots party of working people, the elderly and the poor. We must open the doors of the party to welcome in the idealism and energy of young people and all Americans who are fighting for economic, social, racial and environmental justice.

As pointed previously:

... what these Leftist leaders don't seem to realize, is that the global neoliberal monster can't be defeated from the inside. If anyone attempts to do this, he will be gradually assimilated by its powerful network. We saw this already in Greece. After Tsipras surrendered to the European Financial Dictatorship, his party split losing its most radical elements, exactly as planned by the bureaufascists. Iglesias in Spain didn't manage to increase power, despite the coalition with the Left. Corbyn is already being threatened without even giving a single fight and Sanders capitulated without even attempting to create a third, purely anti-establishment pole, despite all the momentum by millions of Americans. Well, they should start wondering why they can't persuade anymore and why they are got trapped in this stagnating situation where the neoliberal monster is ready to swallow them. They should listen to millions of voices around the globe saying 'this is not the Left we want'. We need a completely autonomous Left with its own agenda, ready to fight against both the two monsters of the neoliberal establishment and the Far-Right.

So, the Democratic party cannot be transformed to serve clearly the interests of the majority of the American people because IT IS part of the economic, political and media status quo that Bernie writes about.

Decades of corruption through a 'love affair' with the bankers and the corporate lobbyists, made both the Democratic party and the Republican party fundamental components of the establishment's evil mechanism. The mechanism that produces constantly more inequality, more profits for the banking parasites, more poverty for the majority of the American people, more dirty wars with endless deaths, refugees, failed states, complete destruction.

People have been tricked so many times in the past and therefore, naturally, they have completely lost trust to the political duopoly. They have been tricked one more time with the Trump manipulator. Once they will realize that they are victims of one more fraud, the mass movement will be ready to erupt and create an unprecedented political revolution. But it needs to be done out of the bipartisan dictatorship, through the unification of all the available forces of the Left.

Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders represent exactly the same vision about a different America. There is no time and "luxury" for division between the Leftist forces. It is time for them to unite and offer a real prospect to the Sanders movement, so that to find the suitable environment to grow further over the next four years and become ready to take the power.

So, our clear message to Bernie is this: join forces with the Greens, otherwise there will be no political revolution!

  1. How many people are willing to risk their lives, when it comes to standing up against the sinister powers they have to fight against, because most people remember the Kennedy brothers and how they met their end. As long as the banking system remains in private hands, it can only get worse, never better. That power really belongs in public hands, just like all other essential services. What rules the world right now can only lead to a total slavery regardless of race, the likes of which the world has never known. It is not a nuclear exchange alone, that can make the living envy the dead. Slavery without any hope or recourse is just as bad.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide. 

Exposed: USA plans to use this country to hurt China & help Israel

Iranian Seyed M. Marandi: What REALLY happened in Iran & why U.S. wants to destroy the country

Israel & CIA Behind Iran Protests To Get U.S. To Attack!

The Jimmy Dore Show    As protests in Iran have heated up, western media has actively exaggerated and selectively framed the violence by using casualty figures from U.S.- and Israel-funded NGOs — all in order to build public support for another regime-change war. Former CIA officer John Kiriakou and guest Scott Ritter claim protests were infiltrated by foreign intelligence networks and that Israel and the U.S. are using “human rights” narratives similarly to the way they were used in Iraq and Syria.   Dore and Ritter contend that Iran’s government responded to armed unrest rather than peaceful protest, while mainstream outlets ignore attacks on police and public infrastructure. They warn that propaganda, sanctions, and media coordination are laying the groundwork for a wider U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran.

Ο βασικός λόγος που ο Τραμπ διστάζει να χτυπήσει το Ιράν

"Μικρά και ασήμαντα" από τον Πίκο Απίκο Ο βασικός λόγος που δεν έγινε η επίθεση στο Ιράν, είναι το γεγονός ότι πρόσφατα, το Ιράν αποχώρησε από το δορυφορικό σύστημα GPS που είναι Αμερικανικό και εντάχθηκε στο Κινεζικό BeiDou. Που σημαίνει ότι οι Αμερικανοί δεν έχουν τη δυνατότητα να σαμποτάρουν τους Ιρανικούς πυραύλους.  Έτσι εξηγείται και το μεγάλο ποσοστό ευστοχίας των Ιρανικών πυραύλων στην τελευταία σύγκρουση με το Ισραήλ, μέσα στο Ισραηλινό έδαφος. Αλλά και το γεγονός ότι πριν λίγες μέρες, οι ίδιοι οι Ισραηλινοί ζήτησαν τη διαμεσολάβηση της Ρωσίας, προκειμένου να αποκλιμακωθεί η ένταση με το Ιράν, αφού Ισραηλινές εφημερίδες και αξιωματούχοι είχαν παραδεχθεί ανοιχτά την παρουσία πρακτόρων της Μοσάντ σε Ιρανικό έδαφος και τον κομβικό τους ρόλο στις πρόσφατες εξεγέρσεις. Οι Αμερικανοί επομένως γνωρίζουν ότι αυτή τη στιγμή οι Ιρανοί έχουν τη δυνατότητα να χτυπήσουν Αμερικανικές βάσεις (όπως απείλησαν ότι θα κάνουν αν ο Τραμπ κάνει πράξη τις απειλές του), χωρίς να μπορούν να ...

Jeffrey Sachs: The US is a violent regime

CGTN   Shortly after US President Donald Trump announced on social media that American forces had carried out military actions against Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were forcibly taken to New York City to face US charges including narco-trafficking. Speaking with CGTN's Tian Wei, Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs warned that such actions reflect a broader pattern of militarized US foreign policy. By sidelining international law and disregarding the UN Charter, Washington is undermining the very framework meant to safeguard global peace and prevent another era of devastating wars. 

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Billionaires are social distancing in super yachts as tens of millions lose jobs

Everyday, it becomes clearer: the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting poor, working, and marginalized communities the hardest. Millions of workers – especially low-wage retail, food service, hospitality, and care workers – have faced the terrible choice daily between going to work and risking their health, or staying home and risking their paychecks. Many other workers don’t even have that choice, with around 30 million people in the US filing for unemployment in the past six weeks. But billionaires don’t face these same problems. As tens of millions have lost their jobs over the past two months, billionaire wealth soared by a whopping $282 billion between March 18 and April 10, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.  And while finding enough space to wait out the pandemic is something many struggle with, billionaires have been escaping to their second (or third, or fourth) homes to ride it out in luxury – all while they position themselves to ...
