The divide and conquer game of the American ruling class


Very much ON THE LEFT myself I consider this neo-liberal " identity politics " endless war on SYMBOLS important only to neurotic pseudo-leftists. This obsession on symbols of imagined " hate " conveniently forgets the truly malignant ruling class plutocracy. The ONE PERCENT afflict more real misery on working class people of all races and ethnic groups than any fringe groups of neo-Nazis and WHITE POWER fanatics. The insinuated villains in all this racial melodrama is the much maligned white working class - those " deplorables " to which the old N-word now ironically applies ? 

American capitalism in crisis needs a scapegoat . Do affluent and politically influential American Jews imagine they are in any real danger from neo-Nazi fringe groups ? Does it help their cause to support with great public fervor Zionist Apartheid Israel ? 

The American ruling class uses its control of the mainstream news media to play a divide and conquer game with working class America. Get their attention focused away from the ONE PERCENT , away from everyday capitalist exploitation and oppression and economic misery. And prepare for imperialist war while telling working people that all they need LOVE , LOVE , all they need is LOVE ! 

To be sure, RACISM and HATE are not the real big issues in decaying capitalist America. I give credit to the Bernie Sanders campaign for focusing on terrible and unacceptable economic inequality. But Bernie should never have endorsed " Wall St. Hillary ".
