Blanqui actually attempted to do things.  Admiration for him (as for
Garibaldi) became a measure of how discontented people were with the
ongoing radical talk shops.

Btw, the contribution of his organized followers in the U.S. to the
founding of the movement here is particularly neglected.

Karl Marx claimed that Louis-Auguste Blanqui was the “man whom I have always 
regarded as the brains and inspiration of the proletarian party in France.” 
Although largely forgotten today, there was a time when revolutionaries 
throughout the world viewed this nineteenth century French political prisoner 
as a central figure and hero of revolutionary socialism. In this time of so 
much political backsliding and compromise, it is worth looking at the life of 
Blanqui.

"In the scramble to make sense of the post-inauguration world, Amazon 
has been forced to restock a few key titles:
Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four hit No 1 at the end of last week, after 
Trump’s adviser Kellyanne Conway used the
phrase “alternative facts” in place of “some bullshit I just made up”. 
But the surprise hit – being long, complex and
demanding or, as the online magazine Jezebel described it, “extremely 
metal” is Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of
Totalitarianism, first published in 1951. Commentators have been 
referencing the work since Donald Trump’s election
in November but rarely has this spurred so many people to actually buy a 
copy."

[Marxism] Fwd: Email from 2007 ties Trump adviser Stephen Miller to neo-Nazi Richard Spencer | The Electronic Intifada

The Electronic Intifada has uncovered evidence directly tying a senior 
adviser to President Donald Trump to neo-Nazi white supremacist Richard 
Spencer.


Spencer, the figurehead of the so-called “alt-right,” was notoriously 
caught on video after the November election bellowing “Hail Trump, hail 
our people, hail victory!” as his supporters gave Nazi-style salutes.


An email obtained by The Electronic Intifada confirms that Stephen 
Miller, a senior adviser to Trump, worked directly with Spencer when the 
pair were at Duke University a decade ago.


In October, Spencer told Mother Jones magazine that he had worked with 
Miller to organize a debate on immigration sponsored by the Duke 
Conservative Union.


Miller sought to undercut the story at the time, asserting that 
Spencer’s “claims are 100 percent false.”


But Peter Laufer, now a senior professor of journalism at the University 
of Oregon, sent The Electronic Intifada a 26 March 2007 email from 
Spencer that corroborates Spencer’s personal connection to Miller.

NY Times, Feb. 1 2017
Trump Aide’s Deal With Chinese Firm Raises Fear of Tangled Interests
By SHARON LaFRANIERE, MICHAEL FORSYTHE and ALEXANDRA STEVENSON

WASHINGTON — A secretive Chinese company with deep ties to the country’s 
Communist Party has become one of the biggest foreign investors in the 
United States over the past year, snapping up American firms in a string 
of multibillion-dollar deals. But it is one of its smaller deals that is 
apparently stalling the White House career of a top adviser to President 
Trump.


Anthony Scaramucci, a flamboyant former campaign fund-raiser for Mr. 
Trump whom the president has appointed as the White House liaison to the 
business community, has been in limbo for more than a week since he 
agreed to sell his investment firm to a subsidiary of the Chinese 
conglomerate, HNA Group.


Mr. Scaramucci is on the job but has yet to be sworn in, partly because 
of concerns about the Jan. 17 deal, according to two administration 
officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not 
authorized to publicly discuss personnel matters.


It is the second time a politically connected Chinese company has chased 
a business deal with an incoming White House official. And it is 
evidence of the unusual confluence of interests between superrich 
members of the new Trump administration who need to unwind complex 
financial portfolios to comply with government rules and international 
firms eager to buy American assets.


“You are not going to get an administration with thousands of political 
appointees and not have people who have contacts with the Chinese,” said 
Derek Scissors, a China specialist at the American Enterprise Institute, 
a conservative-leaning research organization in Washington.


Still, he said, no one should have any illusions about the Chinese 
motivation behind such deals. “HNA is looking for influence in an 
administration that looks like it is positioning itself to be 
anti-China,” he said. “They all are.”


Previous administrations have rarely faced such issues, partly because 
the surge of Chinese investment in the United States is relatively 
recent. Chinese companies are on a buying spree, investing about $50 
billion in American companies and projects last year alone. HNA Group, a 
conglomerate focused heavily on aviation, burst onto the American 
business scene last year when it bought a quarter of the hotelier Hilton 
Worldwide Holdings for $6.5 billion, and paid $6 billion for the 
information technology giant Ingram Micro.


Last year, Anbang Insurance Group, a Chinese financial colossus, began 
negotiating an investment in a Manhattan apartment tower owned by the 
family business of Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Mr. Kushner, 
36, is now one of the president’s most influential advisers, with a 
White House portfolio that is expected to include handling America’s 
relationship with China. Mr. Trump has taken a hawkish stance toward 
China, threatening to raise tariffs on Chinese imports, and demanding 
that China abandon the artificial islands it has built in the South 
China Sea in an attempt to bolster its claim to the vast area.


Compared to Mr. Kushner, who still has some ties to his family’s real 
estate empire, Mr. Scaramucci appears to be making a clean break from 
his business, SkyBridge Capital. Although the sale price could rise as 
high as $230 million, depending on the company’s future performance, Mr. 
Scaramucci’s payment is fixed, he said in an interview on Monday.


HNA is a newcomer to the asset management field in the United States, 
and companies like SkyBridge — so-called funds of funds that act 
essentially as middlemen investing clients’ money in hedge funds — have 
experienced pain in recent years. Citing high fees and disappointing 
performance, investors have withdrawn billions from such firms. 
SkyBridge’s asset pool has shrunk by more than $2 billion since 
mid-2015, and its flagship fund posted its second straight year of 
negative returns in 2016.


While Mr. Kushner’s negotiations with Anbang apparently raised few 
eyebrows in Mr. Trump’s inner circle, some White House officials appear 
to view Mr. Scaramucci’s sale of his firm to HNA with more suspicion. 
Mr. Scaramucci was left out of the group of about two dozen White House 
aides who were sworn in on Jan. 22.


One White House official cited concerns that it could take as long as 
three months for the SkyBridge deal to close and be approved by the 
ethics office. Mr. Scaramucci’s lawyer said this period of time was 
standard for any large, complex deal.


A White House spokesman did not comment on Mr. Scaramucci’s
