"The revolutionary left speaks an unvarnished truth about corporate power and calls out the entire political ruling class for its complicity."
Not easy to recognize the REVOLUTIONARY Left in contrast to the self-proclaimed ,dozen or more , Marxist sectarian VANGUARD parties - out of touch with THE MASSES for more than a century . There is NO " revolutionary left " operating within or with the corrupt , plutocracy controlled Democrat Party . No, not even hapless " socialist " Bernie Sanders .
A little respect for despised " bourgeois " democracy and the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization might help in the present chaos . NIHILISM will not create any" workers paradise".
Last time I checked THE MASSES were hardly confirmed haters of " God & Country ". Nor are they languishing for the " dictatorship of the proletariat ".
Honest democratic socialists must create a picture of the world they imagine POSSIBLE ( with or without permission of the plutocracy ) .
There was a reported " LEFT " inspired IMPEACH TRUMP rally at the Rhode Island State House last night. It attracted a few dozen DNC robots.
To be sure President Donald Trump is NOT the root of all evil in " OUR democracy ".
As a democratic socialist I OPPOSE the Kafkaesque Trump impeachment circus . There is nothing PROGRESSIVE about it . Anti-Fa fascism in action.
British philosopher Bertrand Russell , a lifelong socialist , wrote that nothing is so scary as " ignorance in action ". He also observed long ago that George Orwell's nightmare " 1984 " applied to the United States .
What else is the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism all about ?
