Funny thing, but these days even bright 15 year old kids know that Marx was right about "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie". They would not of course use that phrase; they would put it in their own words. Point is that almost everyone of moderate awareness and intelligence knows that the U.S. is not a democracy, is not of by and for the people, but rather is a corrupt oligarchy of by and for the wealthy and the corporations. It is more or less common knowledge at this point. Marx' words may seem peculiar but they describe things well enough. I like the fact that there are two contrasting phrases, one of them suggesting that a better government, and hence a better world, is possible, rather than just focusing on the current depressing reality.  Go Green!
