Plutocrat Trump is a product of THE SYSTEM - not the root of evil


@EB 3000 [ I have defined myself as an INDEPENDENT democratic socialist for a lifetime now. I don't see how suppressing FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT can advance the ABCs of SOCIALISM - which a mostly PROPERTY-LESS MAJORITY easily accepts with FRIENDLY PERSUASION - will lead to any SOCIALIST government . I have a long quarrel with the sectarian TRUE BELIEVER Marxist Left. Their parties and organizations do contain the seeds of totalitarianism. Unchecked PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHT will lead to the collapse of human civilization. UNCHECKED CAPITALISM is a daily threat to safety and the sanity of ALL human beings - even the ONE PERCENT themselves. Just consider the lunacy of TV drug advertising ! ]

No honest " democratic socialist " - influenced by secular or religious humanism - will think that " OUR democracy " is the last word in human social evolution. Critical intelligence has examined American capitalism and American imperialism for more than a century now . This SYSTEM needs daily lies and brutality just to survive. But I don't see how any existing socialist " vanguard " parties can resonate with THE MASSES with their TRUE BELIEVER ( see Eric Hoffer ) dogmatism . To be sure , the Democrat Party is an ideological mess .There not political dogma but ruling class GROUP THINK prevails. GROUP THINK is not less repulsive to democracy than GOD SAVE THE KING ! The slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King had the right idea : ORGANIZE the COMUNITY rather than recruit passionate activists to THE PARTY . Make FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE respected . Otherwise the New World Order will also be a " 1984 " nightmare . No democratic socialist should join the Kafkaesque IMPEACH TRUMP circus - it can only be compared to the Moscow Trials.- this HATE TRUMP , New McCarthyism. Plutocrat Trump is a product of THE SYSTEM - not the root of all evil .
One should listen daily to FOX NEWS just as carefully - with CRITICAL INTELLIGENGE - as one might tune in to the world shaking World Socialist Web Site. How can you refute lies and misinformation if you TURN OFF the voice of the ruling class - lately a very divided ruling class ? Democratic socialists should not scoff at the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. There was an equivalent of our" Anti-Fa " Left in Germany of the Weimar Republic . In his " Mein Kampf " ( brainlessly censored ) a young mostly NATIONALIST Hitler describes how his party 's public rallies and meetings would be disrupted by Stalinist thugs . Was that the way to stop right wing movements in a traumatized post " Great War " Germany ? Is Left wing fascism in the USA today the answer to Trump-ism ? Socialism is coming ?
