Hartmann well knows that Roosevelt wasn’t actually a president of the people; he was an opportunist who was pushed by communist, socialist, and union movements to push back against Wall Street. But today, this is all moot. There are no effective peoples’ movements with any power today. Hartmann’s mates in Wall Street have made sure the peoples’ movements were their first target of the plutocrats after 1933 in response to the New Deal. The plutocrats’ strategy was well documented in Princeton History Professor Kevin Kruse’s book, “One Nation Under God; How Corporate America Created Christian America”, and these Liberal and Republican capitalists still hold all the power with barely a real Progressive in sight.
So Hartmann wants you to believe without these peoples’ movements of the 1930s, the people still have the leverage to instigate another “New Deal”. If you can swallow that, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. Sorry, but that ship has long since sailed and the people are scattered and ignorant; just the way the plutocrats want. When you are in any war (Class), the worst mistake you can ever make is underestimate the capabilities of your enemy and that’s exactly what Hartmann wants you to do. Without a strong collective consciousness, no one has a chance and a collective consciousness starts at a local and state level.
So while Hartmann convinces you yet again, to vote for the lesser evil and maintain the plutocrats’ status quo, he will be well paid for his treachery. If you start talking about viable third parties and alternatives to the Wall Street owned bipartisan scam, Hartman will start ranting about wasted votes and probably raise the spectre of Ralph Nader or Ross Perot. Just remember, the DNC is a corporation owned by the plutocrats and this treachery isn’t just a recent phenomenon; the plutocrats and their Liberal cohorts removed Henry Wallace in the 1940s and they will remove any viable candidate of the people that may raise their head in this turkey shoot. There was a reason Reagan pushed the idea of individuality and Thatcher said “There is no such thing as society”; and that was to remove the last remnants of a collective in the minds of the people.
