@granolafunk6192 Sure Congress voting to shove the rail contract Greedy Boss Buffet wanted has nothing to do with his two party campaign contributions. It safer to ship oil in pipes as long as they are properly maintained. Rail Boss greed caused the accident in Quebec where a whole town was burned down.

@valverdeguido President Trump in not the President of the World. Nor are the US Marines the policeman of the world. You do not dial 1 800 MIKE PENCE to be appointed President.

@bobbykiefer4306 Except the Arab Muslim's expelled all the Jews.

@LC_1018 Warren Buffet the Greedy Boss of the BNSF and two party Donner is no doubt also avoiding taxes.

@parker469a In my short life time of 66 years I would give exactly zero Presidents the benefit of any doubt what so ever. They're nothing more than the chief representatives of a small group of ruling profit hungry capitalists who seek world domination through military force.

@codo2960 Hamas occupied GAZA and was the de facto state. It was receiving UN and EU refugee aid and instead of building it chose to destroy buying missiles and arms to wage terror attacks because its goal is the anylation of the Jews. Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was in Germany and one of Hitlers allies helping to raise a Muslim militia.

@mr-peabody Actually politicians of BOTH parties should zero concern for their constitutes. None of them had the guts to come out and speak with them inluding Trump himself whio promised to be with them.

@sonofyah-qx8fm The only way forward is for the leaders in Carcass to move forward with nationalization of all Yankee and collaborators property now! Down to the nails in their boots! This is the route Fidel Castro took and the only way to socialism.

@valeriognudi7325 The US government is unhappy because its big companies who pay to elect the two parties can not come into Cuba and do as they please like when Batista was in power. The US government has been punishing the Cuban people for exercising their sovereignty over their own country with a multinational trading blockade.

Stalin someone must have accidentally tipped over the trash bin of history. You and your revisionist history, revisionist theory and current alliance with the bourgeois liberals has nothing to do with the world revolution.

@michaelmullins3396 Its not going to happen overnight. The US government is much weaker than in 1959 but to think that they can be defeated to save a Social Democratic government in Venezuela is just Utopian. Only a revolution like in 1959 Cuba can win.

@guilhermeperazzini Why don't all you Venezuelan capitalists just move to the US? You know how much Trump wants you here so you can vote for him.

@Madasin_Paine If every politicians tax return is made public that creates a ready made enemies list of employers and business associates that can be pressured for unpopular opinions. They avoid taxes by NOT taking income but taking on debt secured with property. Federal tax is on income from work, profession or capital gains. You male a capital gain when you sell property. If you put it up to secure a debt thats NOT income by law. You pay the interest on the debt NOT a tax. You can actually deduct interst you pay on debt from your taxable income.
3
@asmashareef9680 Venezuela can win but only if the follow the Cuban road of uniting the workers and farmers to take power and overthrow capitalist relations. Anything else is pure utopianism. You can not have a country that is 1/2 capitalist and 1/2 socialists.

Democratic liberals are now the ones making moves against free speech. As an example the movement against the 1st amendment to supposedly keep big money out of politics by removing the ability of organizations from entering the political debate. This is to be done through a Constitutional Amendment. A recent decision by the democratic members of the federal election commission which will require the Socialist Workers Party to turn over names of contributors and make them public. This will create a ready made enemies list for employers and anyone else who finds what's printed in the parties associated newspaper the militant or the associated publisher pathfinder press objectionable. The recent efforts in Berkeley by antifa being organized with clubs and shields marked "No Hate" chasing and attacking unarmed people who wanted nothing more than to discuss politics. These efforts under the guise of preventing free speech for fascists will be turned back on the working class in an effort to keep us out of politics. In Connecticut a small rally of Clergy demanded that a list of fascists hate groups be made into a terrorist list and then outlawed. Of course anyone who disagrees with whoever is outside of the two official parties could then be targeted. We've seen this before when the Smith "gag" Act was passed in the late 1930's to stop German Fascists in America and was then used in the early 1940's by the Democratic Party administration of FDR to send 18 members of the Socialist Workers Party and Teamster's union to federal prison. This action was actually endorsed by the Communist Party USA at the time. They would see themselves fall victim in the 1950's doing much longer prison sentences with the same law being used until it was finally ended in the late 1950's.

@tanjudereli3357 I didn't make the US the policeman of the world your Democratic Party colleague President Truman did that. See after WW2 aggressive war was outlawed so the US war department became the Defense Department and the Korean was not really a war according to Truman but a "Police Action". That how the US government became derided as the worlds policeman. US Propaganda used against itself. Truman violated the US Constitution by never declaring war which only Congress can do. That's why he called it a police action.

@guilhermeperazzini We get to say what we want here because people like me fought for the right to do that. I can do nothing to help you leave there. I'm not a lawyer. But if you can get here than you can be part of the fight for immigration amnesty and a rebuilding of the union movement. I'm not signing on to any anti Cuban revolution stuff. It's clear that the US Cuban relationship is one where the US green lighted the Batista coup and has sought to destroy the revolution from the very beginning with or without communism. If you think Mike Pence with his CIA and US Marines are going to solve Venezuelan's problems that you must be wearing historical blinders or have a case of amnesia. The only thing the CIA and US Marines bring to foreign countries is death, destruction and a dictatorship meeting the needs of US Imperialism.
2
@junglechick13 That won't solve anything because its is asking the corrupt two party politicians to do what they can't even begin to do within the current setup. The problem for the working class is having our own political party not trying to reform the two corrupt parties of capitalism. You can't elect a wage increase or do anything constructive without organizing independently from the capitalist classes institutions. A new and fighting labor movement is needed along with a party that represents our interests like the Socialist Workers Party TheMilitant.com
2
@junglechick13 Get yourself a subscription to TheMilitant.com as a first step and check out the books and Pamphlets at PathfinderPress.com Start first with building a movement and worry about getting votes later. Votes will follow a successful movement. Eugene Debs got a million votes while he was behind prison walls.

@emilio2647 The Cuban economy collapsing? A joke based in propaganda only. They've kept going despite Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union going capitalist after a deep shock therapy in the Soviet Union and the US Increasing its international sanctions on Cuba. Socialism was eaten out from the inside in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe using only the old methods of ever increasing incentives and trying to implement an ideological purity instead of relying on the creativity and power of the working people themselves. Dupont is an example of capitalist greed knowing no boundaries selling Teflon all over the world. Now that almost every human being on earth has the chemicals that make it in their blood and DuPont's cover up has been exposed they paid a big fine of 16 million dollars. LOL They probably make that in about an hours time. Do you like having Teflon in your blood? The number who will die and suffer birth defects is almost unfathomable. They kept selling and polluting because of the big profits. They knew at least as far back as the 1960's it was a danger. Its like agent orange in Vietnam. Profits and a victory for capitalism came first. Human health last. After all it wasn't sprayed on the lawns of the rich. Their children weren't sent to die in Vietnam to prop up an American capitalist dictatorship.
2
The problem here is the refusal of the Venezuelan United Socialist Party leaders to move down a real socialist road like Fidel Castro did in Cuba. Instead of constant dialogue with the capitalist opposition and all the talk about all Venezuela's being brothers they need to organize and lead a revolutionary movement that can put Venezuela's working class into power. This is now the second coup attempt the first being when Chavez was President. The idea that the workers in the US can halt the US governments actions on foreign policy is pure utopianism. They can win but only if the follow the Cuba revolutions road. To continue the current policy is doomed to failure. A country can not be 1/2 socialist and 1/2 capitalist. What good is a pink tide if it doesn't lead to real socialism. This dangerous foolishness leads to opening the door to a US invasion and war.
2
@shadowzach00 No the American Imperialist never consulted the American Irish when dealing with the British Imperialists or any ozther sub national group when making foreign policy. They will change course when they realize there hostile policy is a complete failure and will then try and kill the revolution with kindness.

@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134 You only pay taxes on income and capital gains. You avoid taxes as a boss by stock buy backs that drive up stock prices and you take out loans from banks using stock as collateral that way you never pay a tax because there are no taxes on debt. You only pay taxes on a capital gain by selling them. You cost is the price of money instead of taxes. You can also buy tax free bonds and put them up for collateral. They mature to pay the debt.

@Razehell42 The 1st and 14th amendment protect the right to strike.

If systemic racism and re segregation is the problem why is the working class at fault? After all the middle class and ruling class make all the decisions? Seems to me that all the anti Trump forces want a coup d'etat without even a candidate that they can agree on. Every real revolutionary Marxist including Marx, Lenin, and Fidel Castro have always argued against coup d'etat because it produce no real change but just a change in administration.
2
Stalin there is no doubt that you studied in the school of the great idiot, original photo shopper, biggest slanderer and corrupt bureaucrat. After the ordering the signing of the pact dividing Poland with Hitler you put out the word to support NAZI Germany over the West. Once Hitler broke the pact policy flipped to support for the West. The CPUSA now became the best strikebreakers and your stooge Earl Browder held a national meeting where after a singing of the National Anthem a unanimous vote was taken dissolving the Communist Party into the Communist Political association. At the end of WW2 The Daily Worker announced an end to the Class struggle and permanent victory of the Soviet Union.
2
Let's get the oil rig business straight. With capitalism one person robs ten to build an oil rig not the other way around with socialism 11 people work in the oil business. America is a Republic because the founders didn't want a kingdom with a parliament like the English had. So it is both a republic and a democracy. Not just a Republic without democracy like a military dictatorship.

@davemalone4421 A lot of people would like to know what role FBI confidential informers played. The FBI is well know for Engineering Frame Jobs and other secret police political disruption tactics.

We see how happy you are when the Teamster's roll up in some big paper recycling trucks to those big wall street firms with a Smith and Wesson on their hip and a union button on the lapel and read an announcement that the revolutionary government has ordered the confiscation of all stocks, treasury bonds, mortgage contracts and commercial paper for immediate recycling and if that isn't enough the IBEW will provide electronic technicians and electricians to take down any computer hard drives that need hard drive wiping of electronic property records. Once that happens it will break the back of any capitalist resistance and you thought foods stamps were expensive?

@pattyrobin58 Wrong it is dependent upon Canadian tar sands oil other wise their would be no need for a pipeline down to the Texas and Oklahoma refineries from Canada. Oil comes in different types of crude heavy and light. A mixture is best for refining which is why oil gets transported around the world. Plus most of the oil companies belong to American big business and the profits go into their pockets. Even BP is owned by US investors.

@gloriamartinez4371 Ask them what?
2
Russia and the Nordic countries are all capitalist countries with stock markets and their capitalists all invest in foreign countries where they export more capital than they import making them Imperialist nations.
2
@gloriamartinez4371 "...they don’t do what the US wants..." Sure they do. The New York banks though the International monetary fund and the World bank demand payment on loans and so demand cuts in social services just like the capitalist state and federal government do here in the US. Isn't nice to lend money and get paid back with interests on national and state debt instead of having to pay taxes. You call it a Free Market. I call it being made into a government controlled over taxed debt slave.
2
Russian and Chinese capitalist are both competitors and supporters of capitalism. In all various trading bloc agreements govern who can sell and buy what where. This is what the Trump trade initiatives involve. He seeks better trade deals at the expensive of the EU, Mexico, Canada, China and other trading blocs like the TTP.

I don't have to demonize Stalin. The Khrushchev revaluations of 1956 did that. They were an admission by Stalin's close if not closest ally. That the 1930's purges included loyal communists. You want to buy into the theory that Lenin surrounded himself with fascists to make the second socialist revolution that's your choice not mine. As for the 60's generation I'll take Malcolm X over Angela Davis any day.

@MaloneMantooth When the US government gives help it comes with strings attached. They provided lots of military aid, military training and sales to friendly dictatorships like Saudi Arabia and to the old Latin American dictatorships. Other countries asking for help like the US installed puppets in Vietnam and Korea.
2
@MaloneMantooth Who asked for help and what kind of help did they get?
2
@cidsapient7154 They don't pay income taxes because they own property and take out loans based upon collateralize debt. That is why many big companies no longer pay dividends but do stock buybacks and make the value rise. Which would you rather do take out a loan based upon collateral or sell property? Pay interest or Pay the tax. Now remember that property value rises with inflation unlike wages in fact if wages are held down profits rise but instead of paying dividends they do stock buybacks. Federal taxes are only collected on income and capital gains when property is sold. so a tax is paid by those who sell their property not those who buy.

@teriturkett1 He took an oath to Defend the Constitution of the United States which is more than Democracy Now which accepts without question the FBI spy agency actions now.
2
Stalin the only reason you won and Hitler lost is because you hadn't finished another deadly purge. This time of Red Army officers before Hitler broke the pact dividing Poland between you and him. If you had finished the purge early or Hitler could have waited a month or so Hitler's armies would have marched all the way to Vladivostok. The smell is so bad I can only conclude that someone must have opened your casket by accident.

@frankiliano7656 Simple Trump has no internal opposition in North Korea that he can use to maneuver against Chairman Kim. Maduro refuses to lead a revolution to overturn capitalism in Venezuela instead he like Chavez thinks Social Democracy is the correct route to follow by leaving the Venezuelan capitalists in power with regulations and state interventions. You can't have a 1/2 socialist and 1/2 capitalist country. . Maduro has allowed the capitalists to trade Bolivars for Dollars at a below market rate which is now creating even more problems with corruption and inflation. This is an example of the worst Utopianism of Social Democrats with their foolish policies of uniting with 'progressive' capitalists. Today the Generals are with Maduro. Tomorrow another Pinochet may seize power and destroy all the gains the Venezuelan working class has made.
2
The 'tomato' alliance was always one that promoted the containment of communism and the possibility of rolling back communism. Now that Soviet Union no longer exists it has taken on the role of advancing the interest of the US Empire up to the Russian border. Trump's decision to make other powers pay for the military aspect show as a desire to place costs of Empire upon other junior partners while realizing Russia is just another capitalist competitor nation.

The US will only accept reunification on terms that would allow US troops on the Yalu river. The North will not accept US troops in any reunification deal. China will not abandon N Korea because it won't accept US troops on the Yalu river either. The masses of people in the South don't want another war. Japan isn't suppose to have an army except as defense force after WW2 so even if they wanted to impose their will in Korea they can't. The only ones who are reckless enough to see war as a solution is the United States ruling class.
1
There may be a few liberals who toy with the idea of reunification and withdrawal of US forces but the reality is otherwise. How many bases has the US left without a big movement to see them out. France is a Nuclear power so it could leave NATO, Vietnam forced them out militarily while big protest movements forced them out of the Canal Zone and Subic Bay the Philippines. In fact they got a new agreement to begin returning to Subic bay.

Stalin biggest enemy wasn't Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, or Tojo. It was paper, ink, the pen, the typewriter, the mimeograph and printing press. His idea of revolution was to be the losing player in a game of whack a mole where the revolutions were the moles and the imperialists the winning wackers.

Weill Cornell West admits to the bankruptcy of Gandhism and the nonviolent MLK approach vs the Malcolm X defensive approach. "We were there to get arrested but the police pulled back, we couldn't get arrested and then we needed the protection of Antifa and Anarchist folk because the Fascist were coming." "The KKK are just police in different uniforms." Malcolm X.

What's important isn't the oppression of the working class but our ability to combine and fight back. We are the revolutionary class not the middle class with its petty privileges and prayers for salvation.

Stalin you and your gang of corrupt bureaucrats are the reason the Soviet Union collapsed and the Chinese announced the victory of a new Social Democracy complete with a stock market. You dug your own grave and no one wants a corpse as a leader. If you actually read the article you boast about you'd see that on a per capita basis the Black community, over whelming working class, receives about twice the rate of food stamp help that all other races receive. You like your mentor are complete idiots.

Stalin go back to the grave you body smells bad. You died on a floor because no one including you trusted bodyguards wanted you to wake up and order another deadly purge.

leonardimas1 Forget about boycotting Israeli products. Their is nothing progressive about Hamas. In Israel itself we are seeing joint strikes being carried out dispute nationality. Boycotting Israeli products is counter productive since no significant section of the working class leadership wants it. Hamas is a reactionary Islamic sect.

It's out of control authority yet it is even more out of control when the person is black. Having Back policeman on the force doesn't make it any better. Cops know Black people don't have the same resources to fight back unless they are organized. How the cops act is determined by the number of mercedes in a neighborhood.
1
Nevertheless the cops do kill some caucasians. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ooa7wOKHhg Right now these killings however usually occur as a single person at a time. When multiple people are killed at a time it is usually in the context of a political one. The killing of four caucasian students at Kent State was done by national guard and resulted in a nationwide student strike. The Black movement to overturn jim crow discrimination in the south and discrimination by custom in the north faced a much greater use of police violence that compares only to attacks waged upon the labor movement as a whole.
1
Ten people were murdered on memorial day 1937 in Chicago when cops opened fire on unarmed striking steelworkers another 50 were victims of gunshot wounds and another 50 were severely beaten by the cops. How many were people of color? I couldn't find that stat. Remember this was before the second mass migration of Black people to the industrial cities of the north starting with WW2 and the preceding military buildup. This was more unarmed protestors murdered by the cops or klan in single day then any day of unarmed civil right protests after WW2.
1
If anyone is dividing people it is the police by the actions they take and the politicians who refuse and delay seeking justice for those unjustly killed by police. Corporate media must report or see themselves out reported on social media.

@damienhaydon2703 No that is not the way the system works the people who will get taken to the cleaners are those with liile because all the rest have lawyers to hide behind.
1
@damienhaydon2703 They way the avoid taxes is not to take an income or claim a capital gain instead you take out loans secured by stock Sp ypu never pay a tax on debt and only interests as you gi buying money when needed.
1
@cidsapient7154 Sure you can because taking on debt is not the same as income. I have to sell the property before a capital gain occurs. You have collateral a bank is happy to lend you pay NO tax on a debt.
1
@m6a1u57 Why sell property if you can take out a bigger loan to repay the loan. You pay only interest on a loan you never have income because you take out loans and the value of property rises deflating the value of the money and loans. Would you rather pay interest on loans or taxes on income? Put up property for collateral or sell property for a capital gain? Upon death you lose the property as collateral. Nothing is a certain as death and taxes. When I say property I mean any kind of property not necessarily real estate. This is why some companies don't pay dividends. They do stock buy backs to boost the value of the property so they can take out loans instead of declaring income. Amazon has never paid a dividend.

@thomasjosullivan9179 Why call a ceasefire on Hamas which started the war and is a NAZI like group that tolerates no disent in GAZA. Israel is NOT South Africa. Jews are a majority in Israel and had their land stolen from them in both Europe and the Muslim countries.
1
@Edilio A Cuba just had elections.
1
@annfrancis6287 The Jews bought a lot of that land from Arab landowners. Jews in Arab states were driven out and into Israel. Lets not forget the reactionary role played by Arab landowners and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who sided with Hitler and Raised a Muslim Militia for Hitlers final solution. Twenty percent of Israel's population are Arab citizens. They go on strike together, that didn't happen in South Africa before the end of Apartheid, and an Arab medic stayed behind at the music festival only to be murdered by a Hamas terrorist while bandaging the wounded. After Hamas won its election in Gaza it fought a civil war to murder its opposition. Teachers striking for back pay were fired. Calling Hamas a NAZI like organization is not rhetoric but truth. They aren't interested in developing the economy of Gaza they have their billionaire leader hiding out in Qatar. They are investing in war and political terrorism for their stated goal of a Jew free world. They killed 25 Jews in Argentina. Hamas murdered all political opposition so why do you want to leave them in custody of the innocent people in GAZA? How do you propose to remove them? with a die in for palestine protest? Why do you go to them waving a white flag and see how long you last?
1
@katespinosa3561 Are they their now? Where did the 148,000 in 1948 go to and how many are left? The British and French Imperialism played a reationary role everyone knows that. Anyone who actually owned a farm in a village before the 1948 "Nakba" is to old to do any farming. Workers don't own anything anyway we end up leaving home and going elsewhere anyhow.. The people spewing all the venom are the middle class who think they can get rich by playing the victim card. Hamas leaders and Iranian government investing in arms and attacks upon the rights of their own working people. Why should we support them?
1
@mariahewitt9787 Hamas bosses Khaled Mashaal and Ismail Haniyeh are worth an estimated $4 billion each, and political bureau leader Mousa Abu Marzouk is worth $3 billion. They live in Luxury in Qatar! Iran provides them with weapons and the steal humanitarian aid for weapons. Hamas murdered all political opposition in Gaza. in Israel you can cricise politicians and workers both Arab and Jew can and do go on strike together. No such freedom in GAZA. Hamas is responsible for Israeli attack in Gaza!!! It said it was going to win a great holy war and told believers ti go to Mosque. because Israel was going t be destroyed.

@AHappyCub You've noticed one of my weaknesses English language spelling.

@alexandrasymeon5893 You can bet the racial characteristics of Jews who lived in Muslim lands was very similar to their Muslim neighbors. Hamas, the NAZI like prison guards of Gaza are waging a holy war that they call upon all Muslims to fight to destroy the Jews in a genocide. The leaders of Hamas are Billionaires living in luxury in Qatar.

@taxpert2999 Before 1948 Zionist settlers purchased lands from from Arab landowners. The British and French controlled the Arab territories as colonial powers. With the end of the war the Jews were left as displaced person in the concentration camps and housed in Italian and German military barracks. Zionism became popular because the US/UK had refused the Jews of Europe Asylum and Hitler's rise to power was made possible by Stalin's misleadership of the Communist International. The Jews were a majority in Jerusalem. The end of the war sawc the creation of many new states and new borders including both those of the Arab, Muslim, Jewish, Hudu, and European lands. Arabs states decided they would not accept the lines drawn for the partition of Palestine/Jordan. They tried to use war or politics by other means to win their objectives and lost because they could not put forward a program of socialism of justice for the masses of Aranb workers and farmers. Instead now you see a corrupt Muslim leadership of capitalists businessmen and landowners wanting more for themselves.
1
@johnathandoe9804 That's because you live in capitalist society towards the end of capitalism. You have a ruling class that owns everything and gives orders based upon making profits. Big business doesn't work the same way small businesses do. They want to hide the truth abut how it works and even to themselves because if they told the truth it would be revolutionary because truth is always revolutionary. So they give orders and comannds that don't make sense because they are always try to cut cost and save money for themselves. They create massive debts and demand payment when the debts can no longer get paid. They shut things down so they can save money while producing more but then we can't buy back all that can be produced.

@bebetterthanyesterday7 The leaders of Hamas are billionaires living in luxury in Qatar. There riches depend upon creating sympathy for the refugees created by wars the Arab leaders fought to wipe the Jews and Israel off the map . The goal of Hamas is endless suffering caused by wars to gain more UN aid which they can steal for use in more wars which cause endless suffering. Hamas clearly states that the Refugees are the UN's problem not there's.
1
@printsspravedlivy31 How many crimes by the NAZI like regime of Hamas are the Great Russian chauvinists willing to tolerate? Putin invites the leaders of Hamas and Iran while claiming to be fighting a war against fascism in Ukraine. Hamas and the Iranians murdered all their communist opponents but just like Stalin you have no problem with fascism when it raises its ugly head. Instead you look for reasons to compromise with counter revolutionary organizations. People like yourself will never be able to defend their own rights when the fascist gangsters come for them.
1
@ghosthunter0950 Now your starting to understand the truth about Israelis and Palestinians. Hamas and it leaders only care about their own billions and how much they can loot from UN and EU aid. If the conflict ends than so does the need for aid to refugees. Hamas murdered its secular opposition in Gaza. It gets support from Iran which seeks to create nuclear weapons and supports Islamic terror organizations.

It was Stalin and the privileged Soviet Bureaucracy that drowned the revolution in blood and ultimately lead it back to the capitalism of Putin and the Russian oligarchy. Fidel Castro lead the Cuban revolution which was made under the very noses of the American Imperialist and continues today despite a cruel 60+ year blockade.

@lindadavis5668 Few men have accomplished what Adolph Hitler did .The Clinton's did what Reagan couldn't "Ending Welfare as we know it." She's just another Democratic 'Imperialist" politician. She was a "Goldwater Girl". Graduate of the elite girls finishing school Wellesley College and Yale law. Know for her "militant" leadership of Wellesley college parking lot protests. Failed the DC bar exam. Stood by will Bill took time off from the campaign trail to execute a Black man who saved his jello as a post execution desert. Put in charge of a secret plan for universal health care she designed a national Health ID card. "Abortion should be rare but legal" like it is now. Rare for the majority legal for the elite.

I get tired of hearing Chomsky drown on and on about how the US is a big monster that has never been defeated. They were defeated in in China and they spent the next 10 years complaining and pointing fingers at each other about how they lost China. In Korea because they didn't get what they wanted which was all of Korea. Fidel Castro kicked out their chosen dictator Batista where they brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. In Vietnam where they were clearly left after losing the desire of the soldiers to fight and a movement that would eventually push Nixon into resigning in disgrace for his enemies list and revealing US FBI secret police J Edgar Hoover' as a spymaster. There is every reason to be optimistic about defeating them.

This only furthers the belief that these "Progressives" are fake as they rely on the same capitalist institutions they claim to be fighting against. The fact that they are calling them "Double Agents" shows the very bankruptcy of the "Progressives" who have adopted conspiracy theory terminology.

The main aim of the fascists is always to shut down all free speech even if that means losing it themselves. Do not easily be fooled into passing anti fascist laws or thinking the police will protect you from them. Only huge protests by all those wanting political debate, democracy and who reject racism even if they don't really understand all the fine points will drive them back under the rocks they hide under.
1
We have the experience of government writing special laws against free speech for German NAZI's before WW2. It was called the Smith 'gag' Act. The first people arrested were actually NAZI's and they were found not guilty. The next people were Trotskyists members of the Socialist Workers Party and the Teamster's Union. The actual trial transcript of Party Leader James Cannon was and still is published in, "Socialism on Trial". A large protest by union locals nationwide was organized. The comrades did 18 months in prison. The Communist Party USA hailed the convictions as necessary for the war effort. They spent the whole war being the best strikebreakers money or should I say Stalin could buy. At the end of the war they announced the permeate victory of the Soviet Union and an end to the class struggle. During the 1950's the Communist Party being rightly hated by most of the working class had the same law now used against them with long sentences of five years. They claimed about 100,000 members in 1949 and by the time of the Cuban revolution turned back the second red scare the had maybe a 1,000 members. Now we aren't going to provide lawyers for the fascists if they need them the capitalist will provide them. If the set up a table and try recruiting people for murder by using the words you said they'll be arrested for murder solicitation which is already illegal. If you're interested in more on that subject I suggest Fascism What It Is and How to Fight it by Leon Trotsky. Mostly there are already enough laws to arrest Fascist for their actions and no new ones are needed. Remember they only got 500 people for the biggest national action in decades and the counter protest around the country way out numbered them.

Why go to college and listen to idiots like Professor Cornel West at Harvard when you can read Marx, Lenin and others on the internet. West and friends will be shitting their pants come the revolution. In the case of West he can't think in the box never mind in or out of the trailer park. It's to far from the simple mind of the well off and educated with the proper manners of a Professor. His idea of revolution is opening up new schools for proper edicate and raising more monuments to great thinkers like himself.

Stalin was part of the gang of corrupt and privileged bureaucrats that hijacked the Soviet Union.

@Jebus Hypocristos First for the time being neither party openly wants fascist like the KKK. However in the past the KKK was an arm of the Democratic Party. Fascists are a movement which always includes anti labor thugs whose purpose and only principle is to shut down political discussion space by the use of violence. The ruling class only looks to them when the class struggle heats up. Otherwise they just as well send them to jail after they commit terrorist acts. Trump is not a fascist and the Republican party is not a fascist party any more than the Democrats are. If you need Democratic Party Saints to save you then you might as well look to the Pope for guidance since he has many real saints to provide you a path to heaven.

We don't go with the albolsh ICE because all that means is changing the name. Instead we want to see an amnesty like the one that Reagan agreed and signed.

1
The social democrat is the political expression of the conservative trade union official with his belief in reformation of the capitalist state power into a state power that he can wield in both his privileged interests and those of the capitalists so as not to disturb or frighten the non existent 'progressive capitalist' who has signed a union contract.
1
The thing he has no solutions only complaints. I would like read somewhere that other than ending something he actual says he is for something other than a very vague anarchism or in this case he seems to find the bourgeois state quite adequate for surrendering to in face of overwhelming force.
1
in fact he seldom even uses the word capitalism or capitalist because for him it is unnecessary rhetoric. Instead he prefers elites. That way he doesn't disturb his middle class followers with such sharp words.
1
Karl Marx relied upon words having a meaning. An elite could just as well mean the Roman Senate of Julius Cesar or the court of a European Monarchy. A capitalist is clearly a person who's livelihood relies on their business ownership of companies that manufacture commodities and the financing of those business'. Capitalist own and run business' usually through the ownership of joint stock companies. Their wealth comes in the form of profits made by exploiting wage labor. A slave owners wealth came from owning a slave and requiring him to work at his bidding.
1
No doubt the DSA is social democratic. The are much like the Russian Mensheviks. While they talk socialism the reality is they are quite willing to accept a capitalism with a few reforms putting socialism off to a later day. The logical outcome of the class struggle for the working class and small farmers is socialism. What move the class struggle forward is independent political actions by the working class and small farmers not an alliance with Democratic Party liberals and progressive capitalists.

@josephjohnson701 You can argue about when the Communist Party of America - Communist Party USA leadership became a lifeless sect of Moscow cheerleaders but not was the party leadership a lifeless body of Moscow Cheerleaders. Was it when they kicked out Jim Cannon and anyone deemed a supporter of Trotsky in 1928, When the Germany Communist Parties (second it size only to the Soviet Party) leaders retreated to Moscow 1934 Instead of fighting Hitler to the death not even so much as throwing a punch at the NAZI's. When the American party hailed the 1936 Moscow trails of the old Bolsheviks. Lenin's closet comrades in the Russian party now framed up, tortured and executed. When Stalin dissolved the Communist International as a favor to his Democratic Imperialist Allies in the middle of World war two. At the end of WW2 when the party announced the permanent victory of the Soviet Union and the end of the class struggle. When in 1945 they though they would be shaking hands of the monopolists because the Stalin regime had won the war. When in a unanimous vote they dissolved the Communist Part of America into the Communist Political Association. Then in another unanimous vote about a year later became the Communist Party USA blaming a single man Earl Broader for everything. There were those in the American Party who sided with Trotsky as early as 1928 and began the task of first trying to convince the Party until 1934 and then began the task of building a new party. That new party is the Socialist Workers Party. The party press can be found at TheMilitant.com and pathfinderpress.com

Angela Davis was not just a Communist party member but also a leader. She ran with Gus Hall as the Parties Vice Presidential candidate in 1980 and 1984. She can't as an American intellectual claim she didn't know of Stalin's crimes against the working class. That she didn't know what Trotsky had said about Stalin and the communist parties. That she didn't know about the Khrushchev revaluations in 1956 about how Stalin had framed and executed loyal communists. She didn't live in a country where the working class was kept muzzled by the lovers of dacha's. Where Marx and Lenin had their ideas and methods turn into a new religion with a set of priests, bishops, and a Moscow pope who could punish heretics with prison and death. No she lived in a country where the workers had fought against the methods of Stalin and his rotten clique. Where the revolutionary workers had long ago rejected such methods.
1
@josephjohnson701 I read your couple of sentences did my best to explain why the CPUSA was not a revolutionary organization. You can believe whatever you want but you can't erase history. When Hitler set up his concentration camps he could care less if you were a Social Democrat, Communist (Stalinist or Trotskist) or Anarchist anyone speaking against dur fuhrer was headed to the camps. What makes you think the US ruling class is any different? How should you respond to attacks on the movement? Like the Communist Party of America did in 1940 hailing the arrest of the counterrevolution Trotskites under the Smith 'gag' Act law? Or should it be like the early Communist Party of America who defended the anarchists Saco and Vanzetti in 1928 where an injury to one is an injury to all? At that time period those not members of any particular socialist group called ourselves not 'activists' but radicals. Everyone knew she and the Black Panther Party were under attack for being radicals not because of what she thought about the Soviet Union. That's why you would here the slogan "Free Angela Davis and all Political prisoners." at anti war protests.
1
It seems to me that you want to change topics. That your new goal is to prove the Soviet Union was not socialist by virtue of a collection of quotes. I don't think the name matters so long as we understand what the Soviet Union was, what it became, its class nature and why it broke up.

Now you imply I am a police agent.."""(nor any one of your or your handlers)""" Classical Stalinism on your part.

West is just another professor who thinks he's leading the revolution. Now a days they want you to swear allegiance to the "Anti Trump' forces before they can engage in talking with you. In this case West was leading another 'arrest protest'. Where the police arrest him and other 'progressive forces' after which he will denounce the system. In this situation he couldn't get the police to arrest him and now he had to face the fascist forces without any preparation whatsoever. Good job Cornell!! With your kind of leadership where loss is victory we are sure to lose under your leadership.
1
In times of little class struggle the police force may seem to be there for preventing crime. However the real role of police is to enforce ruling class policy. Ruling class policy since the end of the radical reconstruction has always been one of attempting to contain class struggle within the boundaries of the two parties through voting. The last election saw both parties breaking apart under the impact of the great recession and do nothing policy of Obama. The Democratic machine was able to hold off the Burniecrats but the Republicans were unable to stop former New York Democrat Trump turned conservative Republican. Trump made appeals to the working class while Clinton assumed she had their votes through union officialdom support. Nevertheless she felt it necessary to attack coal miners and call us irredeemable deplorables just for listening to Trump. The same workers who elected Obama now voted for Trump. Trump has given some voice to those the system despises and this is what has gotten the rest of the ruling class so angry with him. The rulers demand that a president listen only to them and their needs while paying only enough attention to the working class that will keep us in line and out of sight.

Victoria Cornel West went there to have himself arrested. He admitted that in the video himself. If your against all that claimed why surrender yourself to the enemy? After all the fascists always have ties if not outright dual membership in the police agencies. You might as well surrender to the KKK or NAZI's when you give yourself up to the police.

Stalin what didn't you like about all the rest of the original October 1917 Politburo that made you declare them all fascists and organize all their frame up trials and murders? Why go after Trotskyists? What didn't really like about us?
1
If he wanted to point that out by getting arrested than he could just go to any prison or jail and get himself arrested. I'm sure the'd be happy to take him prisoner. Then again the police stopped arresting people and filling the jails during the civil rights movement throwing a monkey wrench into Doctor Martin Luther King's nonviolent strategy. King also held an undefended meeting and when the racists showed up he had to call Bobby Kennedy to get protection. Kennedy had to hurriedly deputize mailmen as federal officers to prevent those inside from being killed. At no time did he say that he was protesting the prison system. In the first part of the interview he complains about the police not being their to protect the church service and in the second part he says we were they were their to get arrested but the police pulled back. The police follow orders. That's the first skill they expect from the police. Now if the police arrest Professor Cornell West and they know who he is you don't think they will treat him the same way they treated Freddy Gray do you? They'll have him in the squad car and they'll ask him, "Professor West is it comfortable back there?"and he'll say, "Oh yes my brother I am very comfortable." Then they'll ask him, "Are the handcuffs too tight Proffessor West?" and he'll respond, "Oh no my brother there just right." Eventual he will wind up in front of a judge or a bail commissioner. They'll set bail and he'll ask, "Do you take American Express or Discover Card?" A completely different experience from what a black teenager can expect when being arrested.
1
Victoria I saw the last antifa action in Berkley. A truck pulling up handing out clubs and shields saying, "NO HATE" and then attacking unarmed people just wanting to have political conversations is clearly a sign that those people were actual fascist themselves. Since they are hidden by masks and the police made no arrests it points to the possibility of the whole thing being organized by the police themselves and police involvement in things like that is almost always assured through informers and provocateurs to begin with. Now once again if you listen to Professor Cornell West himself in the video he thanks antifa and anarchists for saving him and others from being crushed. Were theses antifa the same as in Berkley? I'm not really sure but this whole strategy is wrong because it relies on only a few people willing to be arrested and a only a few armed saviors if the arrest strategy fails. It completely ignores the masses of people who can be brought out to protest against these kind of fascist actions. We want to always keep any type of violence that occurs clearly the responsibility of the police or fascists groups. The police and the fascist don't care about free speech because all they want is to beat everyone into submission. Now I was a young person around in the 1970's and we made similar mistakes but Professor Cornell West and Amy Goodman should know better. Give this some thought and go from there.

Suspicion of selling untaxed cigarettes? It's a sin tax because everyone knows cigarettes are bad for you. New York state tax is $4.35 and add the city tax of $1.50. Add them up and you get $5.85. Now he could have bought his cigarettes in Jersey and paid a $2.35 tax or maybe he bought them online from a company in Missouri and paid only S0.17. Anyway he paid at least some tax but they arrested him because he was selling individual cigarettes without a tax stamp. How many people buy from Amazon and don't pay the state sales tax? Yet do they send out the cops to spy on you and arrest you for not paying your tax because most state laws state you must pay the sales tax even if Amazon doesn't collect it. The city settled for 5.9 million not including the cities legal costs. That means the city will have to sell about a million packs of cigarettes to break even.
