Indian Republican multi-millionaire the ideal candidate for self-hating working class people ?

What is a longtime independent democratic socialist to think about this young Republican multi-millionaire who passionately believes that an economic system that works so well for the plutocratic rich is also just fine for the rest of us plebeians ? The ideal candidate for self-hating working class people ! Forget about Karl Marx . Read Ayn Rand and her classic " The Virtue of Selfishness ". Karl Marx way back in 1848 brilliantly explained the secret of capitalist PROFIT in the exploitation of the labor power of the working class - which , of course, includes brain workers. It would be self-destructive for organized labor in the United States to lobotomize itself on the true nature of the capitalist system. In general , THE TWO PARTY system here invariably serves the plutocracy whether Democrats or Republicans prevail. A real delusion that the Democrats are " friends of labor " . With so little PRIVATE PROPERTY to lose millions of working class families are beginning to smell SOCIALISM in the air. Whatever is falsely called " socialism " in capitalist America today most often at least represents incremental improvement in the standard of living of working class people - the vast majority of the nation. Note that even rather shabby Obamacare is denounced as " socialized medicine ". God forbid ! Right wing Talk Radio preaches -in the hypnotic early hours of the morning -that working people are essentially ON THE TAKE even when collecting SOCIAL SECURITY . In truth they are simply recovering a percentage of the social surplus value daily extracted from them in those years in work place. How to FIX Social Security once and for all ? Rather than force workers to wait to the age of 70 ( who will hire workers over 65 ? ) why not try SOCIALIST REVOLUTION in the United States ? How shocking to the American plutocracy that their system is not forever ! Before junking the Social Security System we can first junk the military EXCESS of American Imperialism ? Must we spend a TRILLION DOLLARS in updates for nuclear weapons ? In fact , why not just JUNK THE MILITARY with its dinosaur generals and admirals and DR. STRANGELOVE officers ?
