People are saying a lot about Trump. He is the immediate problem but let’s reject personality politics and not be mesmerised by him. Trump and other leaders, whether mainstream or other populists like Farage, Meloni or Milei, are only there because political movements put them there. Our job is to identify these movements and...]]></description><link>https://www.uspol.org/post/blog-19-its-not-about-trump-its-about-the-american-d-elusion</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6975137d16ee2e05645d5c7d</guid><pubDate>Sat, 24 Jan 2026 20:13:59 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>A System Analyst</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blog 18 - 'Class' now in title]]></title><description><![CDATA[Standard Header - Current politics de-mystified by the basic relationships explained in ‘Us, Politics, The System, Class.’  The Blog resumed here after a hiatus.

They  think political parties and governments 'run the country'. They don't. Crucially, they don’t run the business and work activity in free markets where we produce goods and services to make a living (and some get wealthy). That's the point of free markets.   In free...]]></description><link>https://www.uspol.org/post/blog-17-the-micro-summary-of-us-politics-the-system</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68e9407551f676ec2abef3ff</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Oct 2025 17:32:03 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>A System Analyst</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blog 16 - Tax Them and Spend]]></title><description><![CDATA[Standard Header - Current politics de-mystified by reference to the basic relationships explained in ‘Us, Politics and The System.’  A...]]></description><link>https://www.uspol.org/post/blog-16-tax-them-and-spend</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68debd923d4aa73574ef7af7</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Oct 2025 18:02:55 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>A System Analyst</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blog 15 - The Business Class Exposed]]></title><description><![CDATA[Standard Header - In these blogs, current politics are illuminated by reference to the basic relationships explained in ‘Us, Politics and...]]></description><link>https://www.uspol.org/post/blog-15-the-business-class-exposed</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68d537204e05786c1c92f55e</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Sep 2025 18:17:35 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>A System Analyst</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blog 14 - Re-directing the poison]]></title><description><![CDATA[Standard Header - In these blogs, current politics is illuminated by reference to the basic relationships explained in ‘Us, Politics and...]]></description><link>https://www.uspol.org/post/blog-14-re-directing-the-poison</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68cd8d4b6876abf021967c0b</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2025 17:09:27 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>A System Analyst</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blog 13 - Tackling Reform]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Business Class, the Business Class - exploding the insider promise.
