1. The new level of oppression is national and, with ups and downs, never-ending: ICE terror; rollbacks of food aid and labor rights; hemming in the unfettered right to vote; suppression of voices in academia. The victims suffer whether you call it fascism or not. 2. The front man tears up the old ideological covers of U.S. "democracy." His venom, vulgarity, and stupidity are unmatched in presidential history. 3. The capitalist class, the ruling elite, any significant section of them have not moved to shut this sh*t down. This is a turnaround from when they pushed out Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. Gandall is fixated on a historical comparison: the masses are not in motion toward revolution, so the ruling class cannot have turned to fascism. If an old pattern does not fit new developments, don't deny the facts –learn what is new. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
