The United States’ “representative democracy,” crippled by “too much [corporate and military] representation and too little [actual popular] democracy” (Arundhati Roy) abounds with Kafka-esque, Orwellian, and Vonneguttian absurdity. Take, for one example among many, the determination of the United States Congress’s fifty-two “Blue Dog Democrats” [1] to de-rail any sort of mildly robust public health insurance plan that might be able to remotely counter the nation’s for-profit health insurance firms.
