To: letters <letters@providencejournal.com>
So many evils of American capitalist society have become painfully obvious during the course of Pandemic 2020 . Our mostly FOR PROFIT hospitals, nursing homes, MAKE-A-BUCK medical doctors and dentists - URGENT CARE centers for the well to do- are a disgrace to humanity.
How to explain -judging from the soaring stock market - why the rich keep getting richer when life is hell for everybody else ?
ONLY democratic socialists -NOT connected to the so called " far left " of the Democratic Party- explain that everywhere the capitalist system is based on exploitation and oppression. And RACISM has a mostly CLASS basis. Both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King - both mysteriously assassinated - were leaning toward some form of socialism. My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood sucker ! "
Yet our legions of high school and college students are taught not even to IMAGINE a different " Way of Life . Any public school teacher or radio talk show host who dissents from the pro-capitalist party line ( the party line of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM , of " OUR democracy ") can expect a very short career.
And since the 2016 shock ( TRUMP WINS ! ) the Democratic Party has promoted a pernicious HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism .
How can WE survive a nuclear war when we can hardly deal with hurricanes, blizzards, forest fires, and epidemics ?

Hi Ron,
I downloaded an interesting FREE bird identifying app and had it conduct a search based on your photo, geographic location, date , etc.
Pretty interesting. The app named "Merlin" is provided by Cornell University. It can also identify birds by recorded sounds.
So, at first try it tentatively identified your bird as a "King Eider" or a "Wood Duck". (See 3 attached screenshots)
There was another possibility that it could be some rare bird which you'll see, but I lost the name and wasn't able to replicate it.
But I don't think it was a "black swan" which would be so fitting for these times.
Talk soon,
Steve
Radical Ron sees health threat long before Pandemic Corona Virus
I am generally pleased with and appreciative of ALL public libraries . Just ONE public health suggestion: could this library and other public libraries please put up a poster reminding chronic coughers to avoid contaminating the air ? Perhaps they can offer the chronic cougher a face mask or a box of facial tissues.
You would think the staff would take some responsibility here . Is it so rude or politically incorrect to enforce public health standards ?
One frequent cougher at the Warwick Public Library was identified as a one time resident of Harrington Hall ( for the homeless ) in Cranston. A friend described Harrington Hall as sounding like a 19th century tuberculosis ward. He should know as he had to spend one horrible night there.]

The specter of " socialism " in the Democratic Party
" N.Y. Rep.-elect warns AOC's influence over state, national politics is growing "
As a life long INDEPENDENT democratic socialist I think that only political illiteracy can explain this weird and false belief that the Democratic Party has anything resembling a democratic socialist agenda. Even that milk toast socialist Bernie Sanders compromises with " OUR way of life " , even this restrained " free market " capitalism ". Nor do any of these " progressive " ( meaning socialist sympathizers ) Democrats speak out with any credible passion against many century old socialist justice issues: tell THEIR president-elect to oppose the death penalty, dismantle our nuclear weapons system, oppose ALL imperialist interventions in foreign countries. Above all NATIONALIZE all vital industries and natural resources. ABOLISH homelessness in the United States by limiting all landlord PRIVATE PROPERTY rights . Compel all licensed medical doctors and dentists to accept ALL Medicare and Medicaid patients in the interests of a real national health care program.
Abolish FOR PROFIT hospitals and nursing homes .
Now that is " democratic socialism " with fangs !

No doubt the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism in the USA -promoted by the Democratic Party since 2016- was motivated by DEEP STATE but BIPARTISAN plans for nuclear world war III with Russia -OR another endless stupid bloody war in the Middle East in support of " national security " for our beloved " democratic " ally Zionist , Apartheid Israel.
Working class Americans have no " interests " in the Middle East , no more than they did in Vietnam in 1965 .

Radical Ron did not vote in 2020 - and why
As a democratic socialist I could not vote for Biden or Trump in the 2020 presidential election. But did not the Democrats from day one in 2016 seek to discredit Trump's election as a Russia hatched conspiracy ? I thought his election in 2016 was at least as legitimate as the flawed Elector College system permits . It is just the Electoral College system which stymies ALL third parties - on the Left and on the eight in " OUR democracy ".
NOTE : I could not vote either for totalitarian " Marxist " parties - all petrified Marxism, Leninism, Trotskyism with some BIG BROTHER waiting in the wings .

No war on Iran !
If mainstream news media reports - always deceitful - are true, President Trump was just talked out of an international war crime - a surprise bombing of Iran . Since Iran is still a puny threat to the security of the United States, the real democratic socialists of the world ( not based in the Democratic Party ) can surmise that Trump wanted to do a spectacular and horrendous favor for our oh-so-Democratic ally in the Middle East Zionist Apartheid Israel. I doubt if the militant Zionist clique in the oh-so progressive Democratic Party would strongly condemn Trump- still popular in Israel - for this definite war crime.
An Iran without nuclear weapons would be a rational response to an Israel without nuclear weapons, to a United States without nuclear weapons .
Clearly the United States has been devastated by the Corona virus pandemic - a national emergency . We can hardly cope with this national emergency : What " crackpot realism " ( to use American radical sociologist C. Wright Mills'phrase ) would advise ANY US president that nuclear war is winnable and limitable ?
DEFUND THE AMERICAN MILITARY makes just as much sense in 2020 as DEFUND THE POLICE.
Both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King were openly anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist at the end of their lives ( both suspiciously assassinated ) .
They made a connection between racism and capitalism , between racism and imperialism.
My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a bloodsucker " "
Does " socialist " Bernie Sanders , who supported that pillar of the Establishment , that friend of the military industrial complex , now President Elect Biden , appreciate the words of Malcolm X ?Does a portrait of Eugene V. Debs still hang on his Congressional wall like the portrait of " Dorian Gray " Bernie ?

Freed from the arch-villain of " OUR Democracy " , President Donald Trump , what will the considerably less than triumphant Democratic Party have to offer, beaten down on all fronts, working class America ?
The mainstream media over-vilified -often smeared-Trump since his first day as LEGITIMATE president of the United States . Since the 2020 national election resembles so much the 2016 national election, how can the 2016 election be branded " rigged " ( by Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin ) ?
Are not Trump supporters justified in questioning the moral legitimacy of President-Elect Joe Biden ?
Speaking as a lifelong democratic socialist I think that the Democratic Party loyalists gave us more lessons in FASCISM than conservative Republicans. Again and again they mocked the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization . They showed a supercilious attitude toward devout Christians and religious freedom in general.
What kind of " socialists " in the Democratic Party could embrace US militarism ( " The Arrogance of Power " ) and snuggle up to DEEP STATE intrigue ? What was so progressive about the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism ?
Amazing how many so called radical leftists smear the white working class in the United States - which owns and controls NOTHING - as incurably racist, sexist , and homophobe. Whether attached to the " far left " of the Democratic Party or to various sectarian Marxist parties these " radicals " can only offer the world STALINISM REDUX , what the American philosopher Eric Hoffer would call " True Believer " totalitarianism.
" Science " was also a god that failed in the vanished Soviet Union.

Social scientists- as opposed to academic charlatans- have studied the CLASS nature of " OUR democracy " for more than a hundred years. Read Theodore Dreiser's ( author of " An American Tragedy " ) political autobiography " My Newspaper Days " ... " About Myself ".
Way back in 1920 the American socialist Eugene V. Debs lectured the country about the fraudulent nature ( with or without " fair " elections ) of the Two Party System . BOTH parties, Debs contended , served the ruling capitalist class, the American plutocracy , really LESS than the ONE PERCENT.
Since the majority of voters are still WORKING CLASS by any criterion you would think that true democracy would produce a victory for WE THE PEOPLE in every election.
In 2020 the American voters are NOT divided into working class white supremacists for Trump and " progressive " idealists voting for Joe Biden.
Clearly the corrupt TWO PARTY system is in meltdown. The very idea of SOCIALISM is anathema to both the hard core leadership of the Democratic Party and the OPENLY pro- capitalist business interests Republican Party.
If the plutocracy has turned against President Donald Trump ,it is only because he too well represents this class. Police brutality and a BIG LIE mainstream news media are inevitable under decaying capitalism.
The only way out of the now permanent crisis of the TWO PARTY system - a PEACEFUL way out - is the quick formation of a mass Labor Party in the USA - similar to the British Labor Party but more class conscious and militant .

Sober Republicans -not Trump die hards - have every reason to suspect SUDDEN DEATH results in a half dozen battleground states controlled by Democratic Party machines as corrupt as ever.
But a national government meltdown might be avoided if the Congress and the Senate can declare - without changing the Electoral College stature in the next election -that the winner of the 2020 presidential election is the winner of POPULAR VOTE. Guess who ? And get the Supreme Court to bless the bipartisan decision as justified by a national emergency. The votes counts and recounts after November 3rd not being above suspicion for either side.
As a life long independent democratic socialist I cannot bless the growing fascism in the Democratic Party . Yes, they are socialists only in the sense that Mussolini was in his notorious " March on Rome " in the 1920s.
President Donald Trump seems more like a " Last Hurrah " conservative than an American Hitler.
The present political crisis in the United States is a death agony crisis of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM . Democrats vs. Republicans just cannot regulate or contain the CLASS contradictions - and the culture wars - arising from the capitalist system. But WE THE PEOPLE do not need a Stalinist totalitarian revival .
Joe Biden in an odd non-sequitur : " God protect our troops " . Is this DEEP STATE praying ? Recall it was Biden's Democrats who promoted the HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism . How oh so PROGRESSIVE ! The military industrial complex breathes a sigh of relief !

As a lifelong democratic socialist I could not even find a " lesser evil " in the 2020 American presidential election. The Electoral College system seems to defy popular democracy in principle. Granted that Joe Biden, like Hillary Clinton in 2016, won the popular vote, the American Constitution still recognizes the Electoral College as decisive . The sudden -and suspicious- change of fate for President Trump in contested states like Pennsylvania will make the election of Joe Biden seem rigged ( by DEEP STATE ?) to millions of Trump supporters. Could WE THE PEOPLE end up with a dual presidency with Trump the New York City based president and Joe Biden based in the White House ?
Remember ancient Rome once had two kings !
I could not find even a lesser evil third party presidential candidate. The very sectarian Marxist socialist parties are completely out of touch with the working class they would lead -and weirdly enough have all turned Stalinist, enemies of the Free Speech, Free Thought tradition of Western Civilization.
The type of " socialists " paranoid Republicans see taking over the Democratic Party are certainly not traditional socialists .They are just illiberal liberals flirting with Anti-Fa fascism.
In the 21st century the socialist ideal can only survive as a quasi -religious movement not obsessed with conquering state power.

Not WHO but WHAT hates President Trump ?
I am a longtime independent democratic socialist. In 2016 , a letter of mine published in the Providence Journal gave critical support to " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders. Bernie attracted an excited crowd of some 7000 to Rogers Williams Park on a pleasant sunny day in April. Later that month he won the Rhode Island presidential Primary Election. " OUR democracy " in Rhode Island , led by " liberal " governor Gina Raimondo, delivered the nominating votes to Hillary Clinton at the national convention.
The first victim of the DNC based New McCarthyism was Bernie Sanders and his followers. They were smeared as having a " propensity for violence " and being soft on Vladimir Putin's post-communist Russia. Then more than three years of " Russia collusion " investigation lunacy. Happily Trump survived the impeachment vote. I speak on the " far Left " !
The source of the HATE RUSSIA hysteria was most certainly DEEP STATE , the CIA , the Pentagon, high level generals and admirals in the Army ,Navy, and Air Force .
IT - the satanic , sinister military industrial complex - not Trump's abrasive personality , his " racism " , sexism , homophobia , ( anti-Semitism ??? )- is behind the daily smearing of Trump . Trump is just too independent minded for the DEEP STATE . His sin against the Holy Ghost : refusing to start nuclear World War III or another endless and stupid war in the Middle East.
Not Trump but DEEP STATE ogres are planning to sabotage the 2020 presidential election.

Clearly the " identity politics " fanaticism of the Democratic Party resembles neo-Nazism far more than these pro-Trump rallies . As a long time democratic socialist I can only deplore the New " New Left " contempt for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.
What can be more bigoted than trying to herd whole races and ethnic groups into some circumscribed political camp ?
I hope Election 2020 does not culminate in rioting and street violence. There can be no SOCIAL JUSTICE if civilization collapses.
No honest " socialist " should be supporting " Corrupt Biden " in 2020 anymore than " Corrupt Hillary ", " Hawk Hillary " in 2016.

Would " Black Lives Matter " -as a political movement - fade away if they never hear the N-word again, , if cops are visibly more courteous to black suspects in custody or caught in a chase , if all offending historic monuments were demolished with " progressive " crowds cheering ?
How about a permanent AFFIRMATIVE ACTION program for under-employed and un-employed black citizens ? And reparations ? And leave white working class people out in the coming Great Depression ?
In a published interview famous American playwright Arthur Miller ( creator of " Willie Loman in ' Death of a Salesman " ) said that CLASS oppression was the basis of racism. Miller grew up in Harlem.
Black Muslim Malcolm X said : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a blood sucker ". Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism , between racism and imperialism. So did Martin Luther King who wrote to his wife in 1953 that he was leaning toward some form of Christian Socialism .
Can " liberal " Democrats find some way to UP-CLASS working class black people ? Do they have a plan to ABOLISH American capitalism , American militarism ?
ALL working class Americans have a lot in common . We have all been endlessly patient in enduring capitalist exploitation and oppression. We deserve more than " socialist " charlatan Bernie Sanders. We need an American Labor Party - like the British Labor Party but more militant .

[TRUMP ESCALATES THREATS OF VIOLENCE AND DICTATORSHIP
In the state where his far-right supporters plotted the assassination of the governor, Trump renewed his appeals to violence and denunciations of socialism. ] From today's World Socialist Web Site.
As a long time independent democratic socialist I can see no truth in smearing the right wing conservative Trump -the leader of a powerful sector of the American plutocracy - as another Hitler; and white working class Trump supporters as white supremacist , neo-Nazi recruits.
Since the 2016 presidential election the Democratic Party has wallowed in illiberal liberalism , promoting the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism , scorning the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization , winking at thuggish street violence and brainless vandalizing of historic monuments ( at most in need of editing plates ) , attacking religious liberty !
" Liberal " Democrats have been slobbering over DEEP STATE institutions : the FBI , the CIA , Pentagon generals and admirals. Has Joe Biden set himself up as a foe of the notorious " military industrial complex " ? As a foe of stupid and endless new wars in the Middle East , as a peace maker with nuclear armed Russia and China ?
Irony of ironies President Donald Trump talks and acts like the proverbial LESSER EVIL of guilty conscience liberals .

Trump copies Hitler [ From World Socialist Web Site ]
If Trump IS Hitler 2020 , how can they not support Support Establishment Joe Biden ?
[ When Hyperbole Is Dangerous - EXCERPT from Internet Opinion ]
[ Author James Crotty is no fan of Trump. But he’s also against “rhetorical desensitization” and the havoc it can wreak in the public forum. That’s why he has spoken out so strongly against the Trump-Hitler parallels that have flooded the media during the Republican candidate’s campaign.
In a piece for the Huffington Post, Crotty argued: “When we apply a Nazi comparison to someone or something that does not fit that comparison, then Nazism and the Holocaust lose their power to shock us.” And that’s when hyperbole becomes extremely dangerous.
Crotty shares this viewpoint with many other opinion leaders. Writer, producer and Hitler humor historian Rudolph Herzog told The Hollywood Reporter’s Seth Abramovitch that such comparisons were “very, very problematic.” Jewish-American author Shalom Auslander concurred, writing in a column for the Washington Post, “Don’t compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. It belittles Hitler.”]

What Radical Ron said about Hillary Clinton in 2016
Ron Ruggieri (Cranston, Rhode Island)
If trends and momentum matter , Hillary is clearly a falling star. The main theme of her campaign: we must select HER so she can save the world from Donald Trump. Now her minions smear the Bernie Sanders supporters as having " a penchant for violence ". Like the Donald Trump supporters, they have a longing for bold honesty in a would be president. Hillary sounds too much like a dried up lawyer. An OLD biography of her observed that " she loves nobody ".
Trump like FDR in 1933 - Terry Molloy in " On the Waterfront "
As a democratic socialist -not in the Trump camp - I can still compare the upbeat president to FDR telling the country in 1933: WE have nothing to fear but fear itself .
Also a great last minute scene by ex-champion boxer Terry Malloy( played by Marlon Brando ) leading unionized waterfront workers back to work after beating " Johnny Friendly " on the docks : TIME TO GO BACK TO WORK !
