The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1941-06-04
By BEN BUCKLEY

It is almost universally understood
from the lowest to the highest ranks
of society, that the world will have
a change in the economic system. AT
this time there are two possible syS
TENS and two only. One is fasclsm
with absolute control OF the people
by a minority group who must be
more ruthless in their control than
any group has even been known TO
be. Brutality would be necessary in
economics and also necessary to keep
the people in line. The other system
is a peoples government, set up by
the people for the people; with a
guarantee to the people of the right
TO the benefits of the natural re-
sources of the land, the right to pro-
duce and the right to consume. All
the people of the world would inherit
their birthright = the earth and its
fruits thereof.
l believe the common people as
whole are really in favor of a change
to form of government that will
be for their benefit. But how shall
they determine who or what to fol
low? What is right and what is
wrong? Usually a fascist organiza-
ton, especially one that is working
under the mother organization, comes
out as progressive body. In our
political field we have the Democrats,
Republicans, Socialists and Commun-
lists. 1t would, perhaps, be safe bet
to say the two old parties are through.
Their time has expired. The Repub-
lican party is working hard for a
comeback. In their little pamphlet
who Doped the Elephant" they ad-
nit everything, even to the Willkie-
Roosevelt fraud and all the rest of
the rotten political setup But it is
all laid onto the shoulders of Willkie
and a few others, with the intent of
clearing the party's skirts. OF course
the Democratic party, after this adj
ministration, is through. 1t will be
deader than a salt mackerel. But
neither one of these two parties would
be any good outside of the capitalistic
system without being entirely over
hauled. That would leave two very
weak political parties at this time,
and they have been madly maligned.
Lately there have been dozens of
organizations spring into being along
with TechnOcracy. There are some |
of these that will prove to be honest |
and sincere, but the great majority
are merely bypaths cut out by the big
interests for the purpose of splitting |
and confusing the people, and finally |
bringing them together under one |
party head into a fascistic state. |
Then we have the religious organi- |
cations that have been the tools of |
the big interests since their inception. |
OF course there are individuals that |
try from time to time to straighten
them out so they will function in be-
half of the people, but those individ-
uals are always forced back to do the /
bidding of the Church or else they
are forced out. God, through the
Church. will play tremendous part
in putting the people under fascist
rule.
Down through history comes the
colors and the part color has played
in the struggles of the people for free
dom. The sun was the first object
man worshipped, because of its life
giving rays to man and to the fields.
The next was the goddess of agricul-
ture and fruitfulness of the earth and
the next was the goddess of manual
labor, the protectress of working men
and women. So what would be more
natural than for working men and
to clothe their goddess in red
because of their first god the sun? b

great non-laboring classes in ancient
times was white and azure blue;
