Under SOCIALISM nursing homes will never be shut down because they will be collectively funded
A democratic socialist government in the USA would guarantee that nursing homes will not be shut down for " going broke ". Most nursing homes today are based on a big business FOR PROFIT foundation. Under SOCIALISM all these nursing homes will be collectively funded . The present day owners will be entitled to NOTHING for all their greedy exploitation enterprise. If they object in less than a civil way they will be sent to a SOCIALIST assisted living facility for state prisoners.

" Texas school shooting begs the question: ' Where is God ' ? "
[ We all pray too religiously. God is big enough to handle our laments, complaints, and questions.]
[ "Are you dead, God? "This is how Habakkuk opens his prayer to God (Habakkuk 1:1-11). Pray as the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk prayed: Are you really who you say you are God? (Habakkuk 1:12-2:20). Pour out your heart to God in prayer for the families of Uvalde, and use raw words. Our religious clichés will not be of help. Bumper sticker theology or fortune cookie comments? Vacuous. We need the raw presence of God .... " ]
I like the way Albert Camus handled this question in his philosophy of THE ABSURD . A character in his novel " The Plague " just tries to be " a saint without God " despairing of finding any absolute or mystical meaning in life.
Perhaps the French philosopher Pascal was right about God and the ultimate goodness of CREATION. A strong religious instinct ( which I hear from credible sources is a " sanity saver " ) compels many to make that Pascalian " LEAP OF FAITH " .
Surviving a Nazi death camp Viktor Frankl wrote " Man's Search for Meaning " and -amazingly - still found that many Jewish death camp survivors -including himself - could still believe in God but in a less childish, more contemplative way.
Saint Paul in his New Testament epistles clearly sees a CHRISTIAN virtue in BLIND FAITH in Jesus and HIS resurrection. Well this FAITH finally -in just a few centuries - triumphed over the Roman Empire. And still survives inspiring millions two thousand years later.
NOTE : Roman Catholic theology has a lot to say about the mystery of human suffering on this side of paradise.
I do think that the metaphysical argument for a CREATOR was only reinforced by that scientifically established MOMENT OF CREATION - called the BIG BANG .
But the rest is mostly just a LEAP OF FAITH . The human soul prefers ultimate MEANING to ultimate MEANINGLESSNESS.
[ 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”]
27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

Introducing the new , revolutionary secular, ZIONIST Jew SCIENCE for American public schools
Years ago the United Nations condemned ZIONISM as a form of racism . Oddly enough, the pillars of WOKE " Critical Race Theory " in the nation's public schools are mostly secular, anti-religious , often anti-Christian ZIONIST Jews. They do not apply CRT to APARTHEID Israel.
In many other ways they have invented ,in alliance with the obnoxious New Atheism , a new secular, Zionist Jew SCIENCE , revising even old TRUTH in biology : for example , sex-gender is just a social construct. I recall that the great biologist Charles Darwin devotes a whole section in his " Origin of the Species " to " SEXUAL SELECTION ". In the elite Ivy League schools today Darwin stands corrected . And Catholic theology is just plain anathema -the essence of HATE not New Testament LOVE !

How does one feel at 70 when they know that their life is behind them and their health will start to decline soon?
[ " I’m 74. I had a good heart-to-heart chat with my mortality when I was 33 and got rear-ended by a car doing about 45 MPH (about 72 km/h). I was on my bicycle, going roughly ⅓ that speed. I flew headfirst backward over his hood and through his windshield, and when I woke up I was lying on the side of the road. I think they found all the pieces of the helmet that saved my life. (I was in no condition to help in the search.) But since then I haven’t worried too much about how long I have to live. Of course, I’m not as strong or as quick as I was 40 years ago, but I’m in good condition, I’m healthy, and I’ll go when it’s time to go. In the meantime, I’m thoroughly enjoying the best years of my life. Here’s a photo of me with my biggest toy. " ]

As an independent democratic socialist myself I think it is ridiculous to over-vilify the NRA and decent , law abiding citizens who , seeing CIVILIZATION itself in collapse in the USA , seek some protection in " high-kill " guns. A STATE power as deranged as these psychotic individuals should have a monopoly on ALL lethal weapons ? Does any " responsible " political leader suggest testing the mental health of people who could start nuclear World War III ? Would military generals tied to the Pentagon, who think nuclear war is winnable , pass the SANITY test ?
I like what I read about this tragedy at the Texas elementary school on the WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE this morning :
[ "Nowhere from within the political establishment and the media is there any serious examination of the underlying social and political conditions that find expression in the homicidal actions of individuals. American capitalism, in fact, is suffused with violence, promoted by a ruling class that normalizes death and trivializes life. " ]

These WOKE Democrats are presently instigating nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia . On the home front they pass themselves off as gentle princes of peace. They also routinely fulminate against pernicious HATE . They have promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism for years now since losing to MAGA Trump in 2016 .
Any decent CHRISTIAN-not a registered Democrat - knows the WOKE Democrats think of him or her as one of those deplorable haters . Perhaps a Harvard University course in biology will convince us that SEX ( whatever the DNA reads ) is just a reactionary social construct.
In showing contempt for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization the WOKE DEMOCRATS rival the old Cold War STALINISTS in totalitarian proclivities.

American war propaganda always implies that our ruling class , our plutocracy , is on a higher moral level than other nation-state elites.
American war propaganda always implies that our ruling class , our plutocracy , is on a higher moral level than other nation-state elites. To be sure, our EMBEDDED journalists show a certain perfected moral hypocrisy in their reporting from war fronts. In those elite colleges and universities that they attended they must have taken advanced courses in smug, lying sophistry. At the very beginning of their " successful " careers in " journalism " ( ? ) they signed on as FRIENDS of the capitalist ruling class and ENEMIES of the common people. In all their " smart " articles and columns TRUTH is an annoying antagonist. Only in upper class social circles are they loved and appreciated.
In general , the American ruling class has -in just a few decades - fostered the most docile, subservient, dishonest caste of professional writers , journalists , scholars , and university intellectuals in human history. These are the people hired to sell WAR to the common people of the United States. To use a phrase of sociologist C. Wright Mills , author of " The Power Elite ", their stock in trade is " crackpot realism " - even in the matter of nuclear World War III . Follow THEM ?

After his usual hypocritical speeches against VIOLENCE and HATE as practiced on the streets of the USA , senile, stupid , corrupt " Sleepy Joe " Biden WARNS ( backed by the U.S. nuclear arsenal ! ) China , WARNS Russia. Of course , in " OUR democracy " working class people -the vast majority of the population - are not consulted on the wisdom of American foreign policy , not consulted on just WHO is and WHO is not a despicable enemy of " OUR democracy ".
In no capitalist nation-state on the planet do ordinary working class people plan wars or threaten wars or start wars. WARS are function of the country's ruling class. This capitalist ruling class never goes to war for any high ideals as implied in all this Wilsonian blather , all those cant words and phrases which were stale and false way back in 1917 . Once more " make the world safe for democracy " , FREE WORLD , SOVEREIGN nation ?
The working class does not start wars . But it can stop them . Recall the 1917 Revolution in Russia - " Ten Days That Shook The World " . But consider POST-COMMUNIST Russia some 30 years after the collapse of the STALINIST Soviet Union. . What has CAPITALISM done to improves the lives of the Russian working class ? Perhaps CZAR Putin will be replaced by a second Lenin, Lenin II ? Who will lead a more efficient COMMUNIST government . What could make NATO happier ?
And what IS capitalism doing now for the American working class ? Do they feel some emotional attachment to capitalism and imperialism , to daily exploitation and oppression and daily threats of nuclear World War III ?
It does seem that KARL MARX WAS RIGHT about the inevitable decay of capitalism. So WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE !
No, HISTORY has not ended with an eternal bright future for greedy investment bankers in all FREE WORLD countries.

@Ron Ruggieri you wrote a book and I can't comment on all that but I agree with one thing you said the need for more than two political parties is a good idea. Capitalism is what has made this country great, of course we have problems within capitalism because you Ike me are a flawed person .what other nation has contributed so much to society and its because capitalism has made up wealthy compared to other countries, free enterprise allows inventions etc to help the whole world. Iknow of no other syst that has done so much for so many, maybeypu can give me example of what you suggest. How about role up your sleeves and go to work and fix what you don't like ,complaining is easy.

Dr. Fauci -sad to say - represents the corruption of American SCIENCE in the interest of the FOR PROFIT health care industry. Capitalism ,in general, daily prostitutes scientists and medical doctors who perhaps once had a measure of intellectual integrity .
Most thinking Americans would probably be a lot less cynical about vaccines if they were not a mostly FOR PROFIT enterprise. We are still a long way from HEALTH CARE AS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT in capitalist USA.
As for the TRUTH about Dr. Fauci I highly recommend Robert F. Kennedy Jr. book " The Real Antony Fauci ". Although ostracized by his own still prominent ,if less glamorous, family , RFK Jr. is himself a TRUE " Profile in Courage ".

@Gary Cable How did American capitalism manage to be more benevolent ( the opinion of WORKING CLASS Americans ? ) than capitalism is in POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? Was it the WISDOM of our Founding Fathers ? The wonder of " OUR democracy " ? Anybody not living under a rock ( even a very comfortable , luxurious one ) knows that CAPITALISM is hardly a workers paradise for the vast majority of exploited and oppressed working class people in the United States. And way back in 1965 Black Muslim leader Malcolm X made a connection between RACISM and capitalism , between RACISM and imperialism. In a letter to his wife circa 1953 Martin Luther King said he was leaning toward some form of CHRISTIAN socialism. In truth, all forms of SOCIALISM are anathema in the TWO PARTY SYSTEM of the United States -both parties completely subservient to the American plutocracy.
My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood sucker ".
For several decades now the capitalists of the world have deluded themselves that somehow ( by the grace of Adam Smith and the FREE MARKET ? ) the internal contradictions of capitalism -which Marx wrote about with unmatched intellectual authority - just went away after the collapse of STALINISM in the old Soviet Union. That HISTORY had , in fact ended ! Their fatuous euphoria has come to another GREAT DEPRESSION end . Decaying capitalism needs a foreign enemy! For years now the Democratic Party has promoted the HATE RUSSIA, New McCarthyism . And it shows now complete contempt for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.
The so called " socialists " in the silly WOKE Democratic Party imagine that rotten capitalism can somehow be saved and humanized by their phony " Far Left " led by old phony " socialist " Bernie Sanders .
What working class people really need in capitalist USA is their own -independent of the ruling class - Labor Party - like the British Labor Party but much more CLASS CONSCIOUS ferocious.
This American Labor Party party would never serve as cheer leaders for any future American imperialist wars - nor would it show any jackass enthusiasm for a forever SOVEREIGN Ukraine whose present leader Zelensky is the belligerent , war mongering puppet of effete , moribund , rotting NATO.

Boris Bondarev's words . He is describing POST-COMMUNIST Russia led by CAPITALIST " Czar " Putin . Would now CAPITALIST Russia be improved by instructions and guidance from " OUR democracy " ? Our corrupt TWO PARTY SYSTEM which serves our plutocracy . Are our CIA , FBI, Pentagon War Crimes Machine , " Deep State " , Homeland Security on a higher moral level than the Russian oligarchy ?
Speaking as a democratic socialist I must ask : what has crude CAPITALISM done for the Russian working class ? What is crude , irrational , profoundly unjust CAPITALISM doing for the American working class ?
In either country, the United States or Russia , do ordinary working class people plan wars, threaten wars, start wars ? No, but they can stop them . Which is what the Russian working class did in 1917 - those legendary " Ten Days That Shook The World " , that triumphant socialist revolution led by Lenin.

A WOKE Catholic Church in the USA today can only be claimed by the Anti- Christ
Traditional Catholicism was corrupted by adaption to American capitalism and even American militarism a long long time ago. One can only respect Catholic bishops who actually expect high up , high society individuals like Nancy Pelosi to take 2000 year old moral precepts seriously. The notorious American militarist Francis Cardinal Spellman was himself no " Prince of Peace ".
The older generation, Pre-Vatican II Catholics were characterized by a soul saving unworldliness . I guess that all ended with dazzling JFK - the first Catholic president . His mother " Rose " did seem to be a " good Catholic " putting up , rosary in hand , with Old Joe's infidelity . A student of popular American literature will get a vivid idea of the tensions between Catholic and American in the novels and short stories of James T. Farrell. Farrell himself - whatever remained of his Catholic faith - evolved into a radical socialist and even befriended the exiled Russian communist Leon Trotsky.

Re-reading many years later J.D. Salinger's " Catcher in the Rye "
I did re-read " Catcher in the Rye " this week -about 50 pages a night. I recall first reading it as an assignment in a CCRI contemporary literature course. It certainly is an important 20th century novel. I could picture Holden Caulfield way back in 1968 becoming :
1) A heroin addict or hard core alcoholic
2) A drug addict and an early 50s beatnik
3) A New Left communist by 1965
4 ) A mentally disturbed, drug addicted homeless person
At the very beginning of " Catcher in the Rye " Holden is clearly a very disturbed " rich boy " adolescent . A classic of capitalist society ALIENATION.
I suspect that its author author J.D. Salinger wrote this immortal novel in a state of post traumatic stress - a World War II veteran every bit as borderline psychotic as 16 year old Holden Caulfield.
His horny virgin sexual behavior and fantasies ( possible hints of incest fantasy with his ten year old sister Phoebe ? )
Did the " pervert" teacher -friend Mr. Antolini sense latent homosexuality in him ?
Those private prep schools for rich kids BREED alienation and mental illness and create in vulnerable adolescents extreme states of LONELINESS and BOREDOM .
16 year old Holden Caulfield desperately needed a warmer FAMILY who could at least SEE him and LISTEN to him .
And for a bright enough kid in a respected private school Holden is strangely IGNORANT . For example , he imagines that fish in a Central Park pond must be frozen in the ice in winter time. Ponds rarely freeze all the way to the bottom because of a unique property of water . You learn that in the 6th grade.
In sizing up friends and acquaintances rich boy Holden is unware of his own rather insensitive snobbery.
I can't see how any mentally balanced adolescent reading " Catcher in the Rye " today would see this disturbed Holden character as worthy of emulation - unless that reader thinks nervous break downs- and being unable to focus or CONCENTRATE on anything creative and constructive.
Even young Holden Caulfield's constant SMOKING is annoying .

As a democratic socialist I think Timothy Snyder is peddling stale Wilsonian blather : Once again " a war to make the world safe for democracy " ?
As a democratic socialist I think Timothy Snyder is peddling stale Wilsonian blather : Once again " a war to make the world safe for democracy " ? More cant words and phrases from corrupt bourgeois academia : " FREE WORLD " , " OUR democracy " , " SOVEREIGN nations ". Perhaps the next war will indeed be " the war to end all wars ".
What does Snyder recommend for POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? A marvelous TWO PARTY SYSTEM such as we are blessed with here in the United States ? How odd that democratic socialism is as anathema in capitalist America as it is in POST-COMMUNIST Russia. And what has capitalism done for the Russian people ? We know what it is doing for the American people - for the working class and a once solid middle class now being ruined by INFLATION FREE FALL .
Real democratic socialists, as well as traditional Marxists , condemn all forms of toxic nationalism and preach SOCIALIST INTERNATIONALISM to the masses . It follows from this alone that they condemn Zionist APARTHEID Israel . Years ago the United Nations condemned ZIONISM as a form of racism. We note that belligerent , secular , often anti-religious , often anti-Christian ZIONIST Jews are instigating nuclear World War III with Russia.
And presently they are smothering anti -war opinion in " OUR democracy ", slobbering over the NATO puppet Ukrainian president Zelensky.
And as for evil " HATE " - a favorite theme of the " progressive " WOKE Democrats - THEY have promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism since losing the 2016 presidential to Republican Donald Trump. And in the culture wars they are promoting nonsense worthy of the Orwellian Ministry of Truth . " Critical Race Theory " , for example - which they never apply to APARTHEID Israel !
To be sure , no working class CHRISTIAN Americans will support high placed, belligerent ZIONIST Jews mocking the fundamental principle of popular democracy : MAJORITY RULE. The man who pledged to be " guardian angel of Israel " , Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer , should think about this .
The majority of working class Americans will never get all fired up over a forever SOVEREIGN Ukraine . Nor will they slobber over effete , rotting NATO .

Yes, " Don't Trust Anybody Over Thirty " ? The wisdom of it reconsidered
The mainstream news media will NEVER connect a major social problem like this - FOOD FOR INFANTS ! - with the fundamental irrationality and unfairness of the CAPITALIST system , with a superstitious belief in the wisdom of the FREE MARKET.
All the bought and sold politicians in the Congress of the United States - Democrats and Republicans - are screened out very early in their careers for a negative attitude toward FOR PROFIT enterprise. No doubt even in college , university , law school , they are WARNED not show much CRITICAL THINKING SKILL on the subject of sacrosanct PRIVATE PROPERTY .
There was what I thought was a rather dumb slogan in the early part of the Tumultuous Sixties : " Don't Trust Anybody Over Thirty ". Now at age 74 I can see the kernel of wisdom in it . A few years into their precious careers most ambitious , social climbing graduates of higher education institutions in the United States have forgotten or deeply repressed any serious social criticism of the capitalist system they once encountered. To be sure , no serious SOCIALISM can survive in the Democratic Party .
So when they run for public office on the city , state , or national level they only have to offer as a SOLUTION to serious social ills their narcissistic PERSONALITY charms and their touching SELF-APPRECIATION to the voters . " Vote for ME as I am so much NICER than my opponent ". And how can YOU know this ? Just TRUST the darlings !

As a long time democratic socialist I have observed that the WOKE , " liberal " , " progressive " Democratic Party promotes HATE even more effectively -having more access to the mainstream news media - than extremely marginal designated HATE groups - " WHITE supremacists " , " anti-Semites " , etc. ). Even before Republican Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 ( a real shocker for the WOKES ! ) the Democratic Party was promoting the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism. Now this deranged HATE carries over into their belligerent foreign policy. I doubt very much if working class CHRISTIAN Americans will ever get all fired up - by Wilsonian blather - over the necessity for a forever SOVEREIGN ( under NATO ! ) Ukraine . Once again the cant words and phrases : " make the world safe for democracy " , the " FREE WORLD " . POST-COMMUNIST Russia as the eternal " Evil Empire ". Don't ask young people of military age in the United States to die or risk their lives for this rot !

Nothing dramatic about Elon Musk now favoring the Republican Party
We democratic socialists always pointed out that the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM never fails to serve and guard the fundamental interests of the American plutocracy . So there is nothing dramatic here about Elon Musk now favoring the Republican Party . No more in the USA than in any other present day nation state do ordinary working class people plan or start wars, or form " entangling alliances " with other bourgeois capitalist based nation-states. Presently NATO is trying to unify and expand at the expense of POST-COMMUNIST Russia. You have to be quite naive to believe that these nation states - all controlled by plutocrats like Elon Musk - are a force for FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY and for forever SOVEREIGN nation states on this planet.
On what GREAT PRINCIPLES is the NATO alliance opposed to POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? Their plutocrats are on a higher moral level than the Russian oligarchy ? How many of these self-righteous NATO powers are remembered as cruel , exploiting , occupying powers of once colonized , still hardly " sovereign ", THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES today ?
For example, the war criminal ZIONIST Jew Henry Kissinger arranged the assassination ( through CIA intrigue ) of the democratically elected Marxist president of Chile , Salvador Allende in 1973 . So much for SOVEREIGN Chile !
Yet the United States ruling class has not won a significant war since 1945 . And that they won with a heinous war crime - the atomic bombing of two Japanese cities , Hiroshima and Nagasaki .
Today there seems to be not a few ZIONIST Jews ( with Kissinger as a mentor ) in high places instigating nuclear World War III with Russia.
But what do ordinary CHRISTIAN working class people really think in the United States and in the Ukraine ?

" RIPTA to eliminate beach bus service this summer "
1 min · YouTube ·
Shared with Public
A small state like Rhode Island should have a very efficient public transportation system. People who don't own cars should be able to get ANYWHERE in the state - to the beaches, for example, or just to their first , second. or third shift jobs. The management of RIPTA must have the social sensitivity of reptiles not to see the cruelty and the unfairness of depriving mostly poor inner city people of a way to get to the beach on hot summer days. How much smoldering anger here will produce the likes of the Watts Riots decades ago in the United States ?
In many other ways the RIPTA management is showing insensitivity , possible corruption , and incompetence. For example, it is very inconvenient for regular RIPTA riders to have the EXACT change before boarding the bus. And you can't even save a buck on transfers anymore. TIME TO FIRE the people at the top. The fish rots from the head down.
Another gripe: the RIPTA bus drivers can be very rude with passengers. I have observed them again and again accelerating the bus before an elderly person with grocery bags or a cane is safely seated on the bus. My brother Mike is a retired RIPTA bus driver. He must thank God for that !

Is this the Michael Sussmann who wrote in the Jerusalem Post :
" Israel is the most significant protective factor for Jews today. Unlike in my grandfather’s generation, Jews under threat have a place to go: a self-sufficient country with a strong army, a growing economy and a dynamic society. "
How many ZIONIST Jews show any respect for the fundamental principle of democracy - MAJORITY RULE ? Oddly enough, many of them are pillars of the WOKE Democratic Party . But do they ever apply Critical Race Theory - so infuriating to working class CHRISTIAN Americans - to APARTHEID Israel ?
A while back one outstanding ZIONIST Jew told a pro-Israel audience that they can " LEARN FROM THE MAFIA " how to deal with their enemies . His name is Harvey Weinstein .
In this deplorable spreading of HATE in the USA lately a people should be careful not to be their own worst enemy .

Do You Tube censors LOOK LIKE AMERICA ?
The generic LEFT - especially political parties and organizations that call themselves Marxist- should recognize this TRUTH and TRUTH is not -anti-Semitic : ZIONIST APARTHEID Israel is major enemy of world peace . And belligerent ZIONIST Jews in the United States, in the Ukraine , in Israel , are instigating nuclear World War III with Russia. They are a dominant force in the Democratic Party of the United States with Democrat President Joe Biden babbling about evil HATE as if his WOKE party was a force for LOVE in the world and " Sleepy Joe " himself was guided in all his chief-executive of U.S. actions by the " Sermon on the Mount " of Jesus Christ , Prince of Peace - like starting nuclear World War III with Russia over a " SOVEREIGN " ( ? ) Ukraine .
No TRUTH should be censored in social media or in the mainstream news media. As Karl Marx said many years ago : " The ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class ". We democratic socialists respect the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. There is now no respect for FREE SPEECH in the WOKE Democratic Party.
The capitalist ruling class of the USA cannot make revolutionary SOCIALIST ideas just disappear. But they are very diligent about a perpetual quarantine. WE working class Americans at least should demand that paid CENSORS should at least LOOK LIKE AMERICA. Call it the virtue of DIVERSITY ! Do You Tube censors look like America ?

What was the CLASS background of gunman Payton S. Gendron ?
[ " The gunman, Payton S. Gendron, 18, laid out in detail his plan to randomly target African Americans for instant death—and the neo-Nazi political agenda that motivated it—in a 180-page manifesto that was posted online in the hours before the attack. "]
As a democratic socialist myself I cannot agree that an ON THE RECORD mentally disturbed 18 year old kid is a case hardened fascist . I want to know more about his educational background , his CLASS background. Did he move in fascist minded social circles ? Is he connected to a organized MOVEMENT ?
Why should racism and anti-Semitism take root in an 18 year old in the absence of any serious FASCIST mobilization in the United States. As Trotsky said in his biography " My Life " : " Ideas do not fall down from the skies ".
Also, the accusation of anti-Semitism- coming from ruling class sources - is complicated by wholly justified anti-Zionism. Since 1848 Marxist socialists always fingered the CLASS ENEMY . It seems to this democratic socialist - much influenced by Marxism- that in the United States today belligerent ZIONIST Jews constitute the very vanguard of the capitalist CLASS ENEMY . No ? And does Marxism tell the oppressed class that it is immoral ( read Trotsky's " Their Morals and Ours " ) to hate their oppressors ? ( In fact Trotsky himself as a young revolutionary warned his comrades against PERSONAL HATRED and INDIVIDUAL TERRORISM.
Also these partisans of APARTHEID Israel are the prime censors -not so much of vile HATE, or over the top incivility, but censors of IDEAS and OPINIONS in the mainstream news media and much social media. My own experience is that they arrogantly REMOVE any ideas and opinions that rub them the wrong way . Yes, in " OUR democracy " !
Even more than conservative ( fascist ? ) Republicans " progressive " Democrats -led by WOKE Zionist Jews- are up front in opposing the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. Presently they - not " fascist " Republicans- are clamoring for more direct ruling class control of social media. Meanwhile the mainstream news media -led by the proudly PRO-ZIONIST New York Times - invariably associates anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. As an anti-ZIONIST SOCIALIST I must have had hundreds of anti-APARTHEID Israel comments quickly REMOVED -with not even the courtesy of an explanation. ALL these comments can be found in my blog ( Radical Ron's Blog Spot ). Do not intelligent people still believe in the wisdom of DIALOGUE ?
I have been banned from any number of Web Sites including -believe or not - the World Socialist Web . I was their designated not to be tolerated " CATHOLIC, FASCIST , ANTI-SEMITE " . I guess I cannot be forgiven for describing SEP cult leader David North as " an enterprising Jew ". Some years ago I was BANNED from the Brown Daily Herald Web Site . The president of Brown , Christina Paxson - a ZIONIST Jew herself- vetoes University student majority sentiment to boycott Israel. How must this intimidate ALL Brown University professors and scholars with a measure of sympathy for the dispossessed and oppressed Palestinians ?

How kind of the WOKE Democrats : if you are too poor to have a child , you can kindly terminate it in the womb and never get depressed about it . Of course , the Founding Fathers anticipated this gloomy " right " !

Do any of the so called " socialists " in the Democratic Party ever make a real moral condemnation of CAPITALISM as our cruel and irrational economic system ? Do they also think deep down that FOR PROFIT capitalism -in ALL things - is the eternal rule for " OUR democracy " , OUR way of life ?
Long before wonderful capitalism - for say some 100 , 000 years- human parents knew how to feed their children . THEIR infants were as precious to them as YOUR babies are today to you.
This delusion that the FREE MARKET GENIE will solve all problems , without HUMAN conscience and HUMAN consciousness getting involved at all, is now just plain MORAL INSANITY.

A real INFLATION cure ?
Republican zealots imagine that there are all sorts of crypto-socialists in the Democratic Party . But as a lifelong democratic socialist I never find any falsely branded " socialists " - like Bernie Sanders- who actually offer systemic criticism of the capitalist system and morally condemn it .
A century ago almost any real socialist , for example , would point out the rather obvious truth that ordinary working class people do not plan or start wars . WARS are a function of the ruling class.
And nothing contributes to monstrous INFLATION as much as the monstrous Pentagon War Crimes Machine. If blue collar " skilled" workers waste their lives building billion dollar nuclear submarines - one after another, one year after another- nothing of equivalent EXCHANGE VALUE appears on the FREE MARKET of the world. The money earned by the nuclear submarine workers must chase after pre-existing commodities. Even President Eisenhower - warning about the sinister military industrial complex- could see this happening as a HUMAN catastrophe apart from war itself.
The war industries simply do not create VALUE even if they create JOBS !

As important as LAW in general is in the history of Western Civilization it remains -in the final analysis - a tool of the country's ruling class ( always reflecting its variable power relationship vs. the working class.

“ Thank you , sir , " my father said , and strange he was looking , but the Reverend Mr. Gruffydd only shook his head and waved his hand and smiled at me before he went back in the other room . The kitchen was quiet when he went . ]
At the Cranston Public Library -curious about my newly discovered GOOGLE ADVANCED BOOK SEARCH - I took a randomly selected - author Richard Llewllyn only vaguely familiar - and then randomly turned to page 83 of " How Green was My Valley " and then selected a very indistinguished sentence fragment : " Reverend Mr. Gruffydd only shook his head " . And BINGO !
I can imagine this is a useful tool for PLAGIARISM detection .
APARTHEID Israel is making itself the most hated nation on the planet Earth.
The ZIONIST Jew censors of You Tube will not permit anything resembling FREE SPEECH in support of the dispossessed and oppressed Palestinians . APARTHEID Israel is making itself the most hated nation on the planet Earth.
Ukraine president Zelensky brags about his close ties to Israel . Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer pledged a while back to be the " guardian angel of Israel ".
I suspect very many working class CHRISTIANS in the United States have already begun to UNFRIEND Zionist APARTHEID Israel. They will NOT support nuclear World War III with Russia for a forever SOVEREIGN ( tied to NATO ? ) Ukraine.
