The American Gulag - run mostly by the likes of Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson- is just a preview of coming American fascism. Such individuals show any honest journalist the true nature of the capitalist state . As Lenin put it in " State and Revolution " : the state is fundamentally an organization of armed men in the service of the ruling class property owners.
As capitalist oppression and exploitation become more and more self-evident to working class Americans we might recall that this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. " Ten Days That Shook the World " ( author John Reed ) .
Looking at all those wretched, cold , wet , hungry, terrified victims of Hurricane Harvey in Houston Texas - another Katrina disaster - I think it is all too clear that this capitalist system could not survive another day without lies and brutality .
The mainstream news media supplies the lies . Police state heroes like Sheriff Hodgson supply the brutality. The " man on horseback " , the Great Leader, the arch plutocrat President Donald Trump.
But don't expect the neo-con War Party Democrats to stop fascism in America
