300,000 Millennials In Kansas

   Bernie Sanders will not be President of the United States. Millennials must now accept in their hearts what all older Americans know: the  Washington government is gone from us, institutionalized, both self-centered,and world-oriented,  pinnacled high above the fray faced by lesser American governments dealing with regular everyday political tasks. The Washington legislature controlled by a Republican Congress acts for the profit of the rich. Few millennials are rich so they can be sure it will not act for them. Most Americans traditionally have wanted nothing to do with the Federal Government in Washington. It is like a great stone face on the top of a mountain gazing off into the distance and so fixed in stone that it can not look down at us. We should remain loyal to it but look up at it as little as possible.

  How about 300,000 millennials moving to Kansas?  The 14th amendment to the Constitution says that all Americans have double citizenship, that they are citizens of the United States and of the state where they reside. A great positive revolution could happen politically if thousands of millennials take up residence in Kansas. They could vote for their own candidates for state offices and control the state government. They could pass a bill in Kansas making all state universities tuition free and $15 an hour the minimum wage in Kansas. They could pass bills in their state legislature only for the public good and none for private interests. Martin Luther King gathered thousands of protesters in 1963 in Washington to try to draw a few tears of pity for the poor from the great stone face which is the Washington political establishment. He should have gathered them instead in some place far from Washington like Kansas. The political goals of all the citizens in all the 50 American states can be reached mainly where democracy still exists as a vital political tool, in states, because that’s where most of the problems are and the only places where they can be solved.

The World Needs More San Franciscos

   The only problem for serious progressive thinkers in the 21st century is the same as that  during the heydays of bourgeois-controlled industrialised nation-states in the 18th to the 20th centuries: how to transfer a significant part of the wealth of the class controlling capital, technologies and industries into the hands of workers and the poor who were forced by the top-down control of riches by the governing class to sell their labor cheaply. Now instead of a narrow-minded bourgeois class in various developed nation-states, we have an international-corporation class operating globally possessing an abundant supply of capital and technologies and still there is no method in the economic systems, either national as in the past or now global, to increase the wealth of workers and the poor significantly in either developed or underdeveloped countries. The only conclusion possible is that the capitalist system in its present form is incapable of a just distribution of wealth anywhere even though aggregate wealth has steadily increased worldwide for 3 centuries and is continuing now for a 4th century.

   The one capitalistic system that escaped to a significant degree from the dilemma during the 19th and 20th centuries was the United States. While businessmen supported by politicians in European nation-states were selling the natural resources of poor countries in their colonial empires in rich countries at enormous profits, the United States created 37 completely new sovereign states in its union that it equipped with the same highly developed political, legal, financial and educational systems that were already working profitably and orderly in its 13 older and advanced states in the east. In 1837 a sailing vessel from Boston in the state of Massachusetts sailed into the great bay at San Francisco and there were  just a few people there herding cattle.  San Francisco was booming in 1867 and by 1937 it was as highly developed as rich cities in Europe. Underdeveloped countries cannot develop economically in a way that will distribute more wealth to their poor unless they import into their states a complete new advanced political system as did the 37 newly admitted American states by joining the American union. There must be a United States of the World in the future or there can never be some new more expansive global economic system where wealth is distributed more justly.

The Threat and Hope of Washington's Powers

   The American Constitution of 1790 created a new government that was not a state and not located in any state and had no fully sovereign powers except over the military and diplomacy. Thirteen sovereign states gave up forever their right to make war on foreign states or have diplomatic relations with them. One man, a president, was made the commander-in-chief of the military and diplomacy. These powers are ordinarily exercised by heads of states but in the United States the powers were assigned to one man who was not the head of any state. He was stateless but he had the power to make war on any state he wished backed up by thirteen states. Washington used its war power first in 1812 against Britain and last against Iraq in 2003. Washington had another major power granted by the Constitution. Article IV Section 3 gave Congress the power to admit new states. It used the power 37 times between 1791 with the admission of Vermont and 1959 with the admission of Hawaii. The central government of 13 states became the government of an empire of 50 states. It invited over the years more than 30 million immigrants from all over the world to live and work in any of its states with double citizenship both in the United States and in the state where they decided to live. Humanity at last had a vast continental and oceanic reach of states where it could live and create freely without living in the narrow and restricted environment of a nation-state.

   But the power of a few men in the government in Washington is both a military threat to humanity and the only serious hope of secure freedom and peace for humanity in the future. What states in the world will dare to trust their people’s hope for a peaceful democratic and prosperous future to a stateless government in Washington with the power to make war on any state it wishes and at the same time to admit  states to its union who are willing to give up forever, as did the 13 original American states, the power to make war? And where will they find the worldwide unity necessary to oppose the threat of Washington’s powers if they refuse the only real hope of worldwide unity that Washington offers?

What If Trump Moves Left Of Clinton?

   What if Donald Trump moves left of Hillary Clinton and begins promoting himself by promising to pass bills aiding Americans concretely? He will have the power as president to get them through Congress. Presidents in the past have played hardball dealing with Congressmen and Senators, a power play that President Obama did not use. Suppose he gets concrete, selects a woman for vice-president, and gets specific about bills aiding education, employment, health, retirement, infrastructure and transportation? Who can stop him if he sounds like a real American out to solve real American problems? Republican establishment politicians are openly declaring themselves against him. They are pushing him to the left of Clinton. She is actively seeking the votes of Republicans fed up with Trump and thus she is already moving to the right. She and other power brokers against Trump along with the media also opposed to him might force him to run on issues that would make up for the first time something like an actual positive policy of the American government for the American people! Both the Republican and Democratic establishments are fearful and even distraught. A president in Washington whose priority is America rather than the world? It’s unthinkable. It would create financial instability worldwide. But perhaps states in the world need to flounder off balance until they see that the best way to develop securely in the new worldwide economy where traditional states are failing is by becoming new states in the American union of states. They should help Americans balance for the good of humanity the worldwide operations of Washington and not just sit on the sidelines enjoying Washington’s favors passively.

Trump and Clinton On Paths To Nowhere

   Most Americans want the United States to be a nation and to act like other nations in the interests of its own people. After years and lifetimes being told by the media and the government that we are a nation, we Americans want Washington to lead us as one. It’s impossible. Washington was never set up by the Constitution to be a national government and the more power it has gained since the Civil War against the power of the states, along with enormous monies from borrowings and tax receipts, the more it has become radically distant from any serious and practical national projects funded by its money. Donald Trump has benefited directly from a profound need in the people to feel that Washington can be made at last to act exclusively for them. He says he is going “to make America great again”. Washington power brokers in Congress and in the bureaucracies, especially those in the military and diplomacy, will allow him to make America great only for themselves and for the world not for Americans. Hillary Clinton has been schooled for years in a fundamental Washington political truth: Washington’s continued power and American security at home and abroad depend directly on Washington being the military, political and financial leader of the world. It can not continue this role unless it continues sacrificing American’s economic interests for the sake of the worldwide economic unity that transforms it from its lowly and isolated role as the central government of a union of states, located not in a state but in a the District of Columbia, into a gigantic political leviathan free to swim anywhere in the world like Moby Dick, smashing its powerful white tale against any opposition from its own states or national states. Alas, President Trump will find America has  too soggy a ground for latter-day nation-building and President Clinton will discover that continuing to support world unity by backing nation-states worldwide is a losing policy because even mature states can no longer govern themselves well and too many states are crumbling or about to crumble.
