Presently I think " progressive " Democrat Aaron Regunberg deserves " critical support "

For many more voters in Rhode Island than the mainstream news media cares to recognize Aaron Regunberg being endorsed by " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders and legendary anti-Vietnam War activist Jane Fonda is a refreshing plus. There are ideological similarities between Sanders and Regunberg. Most " progressive " Democrats might flirt with the " socialist label " but will confine their fight to the moribund Democratic Party whose inner core operate with uncritical devotion to capitalism, American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism. As a longtime independent democratic socialist myself I would not be surprised if these " Far Left " members of the Democratic Party end up endorsing corrupt, senile, creepy , " Sleepy Joe " Biden in 2024 presidential campaign. Nevertheless, I give critical support to " Far Left " voices in the Democratic Party while they still talk sense to working class and middle class Americans. Presently, I think " progressive " Democrat Aaron Regunberg deserves " critical support " . Back in 2015 I said this about the Bernie Sanders campaign in a May 2 letter published in the Providence Journal : [ " As another independent socialist, I commend the independent senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, for entering the Democratic presidential race. I would prefer that he remain a pristine independent but I myself am a registered Democrat here in Rhode Island. Come to think of it, the American plutocracy thought Franklin D. Roosevelt was a pretty good socialist." ] NOTE : What passed for the organized MARXIST Left self-destructed some decades ago, even before the collapse of the Soviet Union. One big factor was their implacable hostility to Christianity , to religion in general. But the IDEA of socialism has never been discredited. We hear again and again that " socialism can't work ". But for the mass millions of working class people in the world capitalism does not work !
