David North and his World Socialist Web Site saved the world from fascist Trumpism ?

[ " 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  !
