I was not surprised this morning ( Aug.31 ) when a man calling local talk radio ( 630WPRO ) identified himself as a 2016 Bernie Sanders supporter who will vote for Trump this time . As a long time democratic socialist myself I can see how the Democratic Party is displaying more FASCIST or STALINIST tendencies than President Trump and the Republicans . For Joe Biden to blame Trump for violence in the streets of the USA is really a BIG LIE worthy of the infamous Moscow Trials of the 1930s.
Completely forgetting elementary CLASS consciousness, the Democratic Party -for decades now - has been promoting truly hateful identity politics and daffy political correctness. It has been promoting the HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism in the tone of Cold War era John Birch Society right wing extremists.
I will not vote for Trump but I will certainly not vote for that pillar of the ONE PERCENT Establishment " Sleepy Joe " Biden.
WE THE PEOPLE need an anti-capitalist ( not Stalinist ) American Labor Party . But the foundation of such a party can only be a revived labor movement, the ORGANIZED working class -not crazed mobs rioting in the street. That will take some time.
The real democratic Left respects the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Christian Civilization ( If you think that sounds daffy, read British socialist philosopher Bertrand Russell's " Wisdom of the West ".
