Ending racism in all of its forms would serve the purpose of social reconciliation and ending social injustice. The aspect of racism that is most readily resolved through political means is institutional racism, economic outcomes that are differentiated by race. Economic democracy is a term for the elimination of coercive economic power. The New Deal took steps in this direction. But it was motivated by the desire to save capitalism, not from an enlightened view of social reconciliation through the elimination of class conflict. Economic democracy would end the motivation for institutional racism.

This means there is still a massive opportunity available.   An opportunity to build the first political social network that replaces a traditional party apparatus.  One that operates completely different than any political party we've had in this country.   A political platform that provides direct participation (think apps) in the political process on a daily or hourly basis rather than once every two years.     A platform that could grow to 60 m active participants in less than two years.   A platform that establishes norms of conduct and expectations of the future rather than rips them down.   A political network that allows us, as a country, to aspire to greatness again. 

This window of opportunity will close fast.
