Today was a hard one seeing as most of the day on Daily Kos was spent rooting for the terrorists to mess up the elections in Iraq, but that’s not so much stupidity as sheer lack of any morality. So without further ado…

The World Social Forum opened on Wednesday in Porto Alegre, Brazil. While there’s not been much coverage of this–the fifth WSF–in the mainstream media, there’s also been very little mention of it here at dKos. Odd, given the claims we have here of supporting grassroots, progressive politics. The WSF is a venue where those folks actually doing grassroots, progressive, anti-corporate, anti-militarist, anti-imperialist politics in the day-to-day come together. It is also a display of the power of civil society– a social sector progressive Democrats would do well to strike up a renewed acquaintance with.

Yes, that’s what the Democrats need… more anti-corporate, anti-militarist, anit-imperialists. They still don’t realize people in America don’t believe in the failed socialist dogmas.

This is what I call a good work day.
