The mainstream news media in the United States - what Republican Donald Trump accurately called FAKE NEWS - will never report that many working class Americans and once solid middle class Americans now in INFLATION free fall - are FINALLY seeing American CAPITALISM for the rotten , insane , unjust economic system that it is and has been since the turn of the 20th century. This period is called the Debs era of the socialist movement . Socialist Eugene V. Debs , four times Socialist Party candidate of the United States, in a soaring " Canton Speech " in the midst of the GREAT WAR , '"the war to make the world safe for democracy ", attacked the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM and the imperialist war that had nothing to do with " democracy " . Debs ' " Canton Speech " is quite relevant to miserable America today in deep economic crisis and preparing for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia. History shows that decaying capitalism invariably finds some wicked foreign enemy . I speak as a democratic socialist not a Trump fan .
