Our colleague in struggles against the corporatist status quo Thomas Baldwin has requested we give the following material some publicity, and we are happy to do so.

In this brief blog, I want to call everyone’s attention to a book I recently discovered which can serve as a very good guide to activism. Although the subtitle mentions most prominently “Populists” it can serve equally well for those who advocate for “Progressives.” And goodness knows, we need some more effective activism in this totally corrupt and dysfunctional political environment. The time for Americans to revolt is becoming very late as Corporate Fascism with the wealthiest elite have gained total control of our political duopoly.
The book, “GET UP, STAND UP” was written by Dr. Bruce Levine, a clinical psychologist, in 2011. It is subtitled “Uniting Populists, Energizing the Defeated, and Battling the Corporate Elite”, an even more relevant subject today. I will give a specific reference below. It has some excellent brief reviews along with the publication notice and I will provide some excerpts and then comment.
