The American working class is anti-fascist

Blame capitalism

   Conservative Republican Donald Trump is scheduled to come to my state of Rhode Island this week. We have a primary later this month . Trump is popular here with parts of the disillusioned white working class and the mostly ruined -or extremely stressed- middle class.

   I intend to vote for that ” socialist ” Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont in the Rhode Island Democratic Party Primary.

   If the Republicans -according to the excellent article above- are pushing neo-liberalism, what does the writer think the Democrats are pushing ? They betrayed the pro-labor, pro-union, pro- working class ideals of FDR’s New Deal era decades ago. It began with the Clintons !

   The Neo-Democrats – like Hillary Clinton and President Obama- make Franklin D. Roosevelt look like a flaming Bolshevik.

   Fatuous pseudo-liberal ” identity politics ” has ignored a little thing called the class struggle. In the chaos and confusion of the Great Recession fascist minded demagogues may have a certain mesmerizing appeal- as Hitler did with his Nazi movement , his ” national socialism “. Trump wants to ” make America great again “.

   But the Bernie Sanders campaign has tremendous momentum. He focuses on unacceptable economic inequality. A lot of working class Americans are just beginning to ” feel the Bern “.
