Print: $18.00 Download: $15.00 What is Radical Equality?
Radical Equality conquered the old-world feudal alliance of economic monopolists (landowning English nobility), religious authoritarians (the Church of England), and mercenary brutality (redcoat soldiers) by instituting the one person, one vote principle, the doctrine of separation of church and state, and the placement of the military under civilian control. Radical Equality is understanding how these three most important constitutional pillars have been overthrown by a modern version of this old feudal alliance: Big Business, the Religious Right, and the Neo-Conservative intelligentsia. Radical Equality is the antidote to the fraudulent ideologies used to mask the overthrow of our democracy: free-market fundamentalism, password Christianity, and benevolent hegemony. Radical Equality is how today the American people can achieve an enlightened self-understanding sufficient to end authoritarianism and inspire the pursuit of a higher level of humanity all around the world!

Dedicated to Barack Obama, this book updates The Declaration of Independence, arguing that we need to better understand the principle of human equality and to stop relying on the excuse that our equality is merely "self-evident."
