The End of Political Parties In The US

Perhaps I should've titled this piece 'The End of The Vanguard.'

There is no end to political parties in government. There is however an end to the vanguard in the US.

Occupy Wall Street was an ostensibly horizontal social movement. It was a prefigurative political movement, and therefore it is a glimpse of the society occupiers envision and therefore it is the beginning of the end of political parties.

What do you think?

Socialist Review: The generals, the Islamists and the Egyptian Revolution

The Socialist Review posted an article today detailing the current state of political affairs in Egypt. They explained that the recent election of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is facing opposition by citizens that relentlessly demand the abdication of the military.

The article also explains that the Muslim Brotherhood's core membership consists of conservative businessmen who are likely to not meet the demands of the protesters. The Brotherhood has stated that the military will step down when they are ready.

After a year of struggle, the Egyptian people continue to protest and now are in a position where they may have a new opponent -- the muslim brotherhood.
