[ " The fascists have marshaled and demonstrated their full brutishness. But as Trotsky noted, the laws of history are refracted through the prism of accident. I propose a double bill for this powerful film, wonderfully edited. Screen Eisenstein's immortal scene from Ten Days That Shook the World (1920), the storming of the Winter Palace. "
They dreamed of the dictatorship of Trump, we gave them the dictatorship of the proletariat.."] ( COMMENT from a " comrade " today on WSWS )
What deluded TRUE BELIEVERS ! Who is this WE ? The Democratic Party constitutes the vanguard of the " dictatorship of the proletariat ? David North and his WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE stopped a fascist movement in the United States ? Perhaps voters for Joe Biden saved the world from " Hitler " Trump ?
This from a phony " Trotskyist " personality cult party with no roots at all in the American or British working class. Whenever I see the name David North I am reminded of my favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood sucker ". How many " proles" in his obnoxious , sectarian Socialist Equality Party ? For years now the party members have resembled those weird " Clears " in the Church of Scientology. They could be a footnote in a new revised edition of Eric Hoffer's classic : " The True Believer ".
Yes , indeed " WE " gave them the dictatorship of the proletariat " . Given some miraculous break from the pagan god of HISTORY David North and his SEP followers would give us a Stalinism Redux nightmare - with still faithful, Christian working class people being re-educated by a reconstituted " Society of the Godless ".
Radical Ron was banned from the WSWS as a " resident Catholic , anti-Semite , fascist " . But then ALL the long established organizations on the Left now seem contemptuous of the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization .
If there is hope for DEMOCRATIC socialism it lies in the CHRISTIAN proles !
