A militant INDEPENDENT democratic socialist's attempt to expose the truth of our culture – in all its rich irony and absurdity.

Just a HATE rally in Boston today ? No ideas worth thinking about ?
Speaking as a democratic socialist, I think it is wrong to disrupt the FREE SPEECH rights of " right wing " people who wish to make their ideas more openly public.
I will not let the pseudo-liberal mainstream news media decide for me that THEY - the people attending the rally - are all about " hate " and nothing else.
In general, individuals looking for trouble invariably find it.
For several decades now neo-liberal " identity politics " has shown itself highly competitive in this HATE business. And often lacking in respect for the FREE SPEECH tradition in the United States.
There is no evidence at all that the right wing populist President Trump is a pro-Nazi, White Supremacist " hater ". Nor is he an agent of Russia and Vladimir Putin.
No BIG LIE can serve working class Americans.
The Democrats with Hawk Hillary as their leader have evolved into a neo-con War Party . Nothing hateful about that ?
[The Socialist Workers Party opposed the racist actions and stands with those who oppose their anti-working-class perspective.
The white supremacists were outnumbered at least two to one by counterprotesters. But prominent in the counterprotest were groups that promote the dangerous and false view that racism and fascism can be stopped by small groups confronting the rightists arms in hand.
At the same time, the liberal capitalist media, Democratic and some Republican party politicians, and the middle-class left used the ultrarightist actions and resulting deadly violence to blame President Donald Trump — and especially the workers who elected him — for what happened. They view everything in politics today through the lens of how to get Trump indicted or impeached.
They claimed that the white supremacists are Trump’s “base,” slandering the working class, particularly workers who are Caucasian, as backward, racist and reactionary.]
