Anybody who thought the idea of a Department of Peace was a wacky idea might want to rethink that.

It is a beautiful idea, but to get it done, both parties must be dismantled. It is a huge mistake to think that the Dems can be pushed left towards progressive ideas of peace. The party must be gutted and the rich kick out of government.

The Ministry Of Peace sells arms to our allies so that they might preemptively strike, invade, and occupy our mutual enemies. Just as the The Ministry Of Truth dictates reality, and punishes those whose perception of it doesn’t conform.

I love it, but how does the government fund it without threats of violence towards those who don't pay taxes / resist imprisonment?

When you appoint people like Neera Tanden - Departments are pointless

I remember Dennis Kucinich ran on that back in 2008. He said, "if a Dept. of Defense creates a consciousness for war, then a Dept. of Peace would create a consciousness for peace." This idea should be a no brainer, and I would bet that so many Americans would happily volunteer.

The opposite of war isn't peace. It's creation!

Ask them how they felt about space force ? Especially when clean water in our country is an issue or bad roads and bridges are issues.
