Part One

Introduction

The United States shook the world when it earned its independence through musket, sword, and cannon against the British Empire. One could say that with it, the age of Liberalism began, and eventually, the dawning of Communism. Today, the United States contains within its borders immense stores of wealth, natural resources, means of production, and a well-educated Proletariat with exemplary efficiency in utilizing means of production.

However, just as much as it is a land of blessings, so is it a land of curses. The iron grip of the Bourgeoisie is arguably stronger here than anywhere else in the world. The Proletariat labor and toil for their daily bread and are increasingly subjected to the squeeze of efficiency that is the hallmark of Capitalism. The left and the forces of the unions are all but extinct in this land, and any advocates of the former are generally too ineffectual to establish any meaningful change, and the advocates of the latter are either terminated from employment or blacklisted before any organizing and Proletariat unity can be had.
