Cloggie: Politics

Politics

This is a place for me to park longer articles and rants of a political nature.

Socialism
What socialism means to me.

Linkse Links
Links to Dutch leftwing, socialist organisations. Unfortunately in Dutch only.

The Republican coup
It seems to me that what happened during the 2000 US elections was far more worrisome then most people realise and that it amounted to nothing less then a coup on the part of the Republican Party's leadership and the Bush campaign. Therefore I refuse to accept Bush as the legitamite president. Al Gore won the elections; Bush stole them. This article is an attempt to gather evidence and a timeline for this coup.

Civil rights and the "War on Terrorism"
The socalled "War on Terrorism" has led to an incredible erosion of civil rights in the US and it looks to me that it's being used as a cover for a powergrab by the Bush administration. I've tried to document as much as possible here.
