I would not recommend people get involved in politics. I see the Democrats as the party of the insane and the Republicans, the party of false promises. It's the willingness to impose will and the willingness to push your ideas on others that has shown itself to be successful. Maine really is sort of an outlier state for the most part. But there is no easy answer. The only thing U.S. government does particularly well is the interference with the ability of well meaning logical dissidents to change the system against the interest of those who are responsible for corruption and graft.

Episode notes
Carl von Clausewitz described war as politics by other means. In many ways the reverse could be said, with the modern state in the West seemingly arrayed against its own citizens in a constant battle of misdirection and interference in their lives. Tom Kawczynski, author of ‘Surviving the Fall of America’ and former town manager of Jackman, Maine, has actually run for political office in an attempt to address some of these problems. Tonight, he gives us an insider glimpse into how the system actually works, what we can expect going forward, and some potential solutions to what he sees an an almost inevitable decline of a once great society.
