11.02.04 got you down? Maybe you shouldn't read "Iron Heel" by London?
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 11:20 AM by JanMichael
Here's the digital version.

A tale about a Fascist "Corpo" take over of eary 20th Century Amerika. Written as the "recently" discovered journal of a woman who was the wife/comrade of a anti-Corpo Revolutionary. Yeah, the first 60 pages are polemic, but since were in the midst of an all out Corpo power play it should be fun anyway.

And just for giggles why not try "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis! Once again there's a digital copy just waiting to be consumed. An independant newspaper editor in 1930's New England gets caught up in politics when a Nationalistic, almost Nazi-like, groups takes power.

Needless to say the term Cooperative Commonwealth comes up occasionally so watch yourself...Whoops! I almost forgot to add that Kerry had "It Can't Happen Here" sitting on a desk for some talking head show. I guess he's read it.
