CEO of UnitedHealthcare fatally shot in New York City | BBC News

I suspect that this assassination of CEO Brian Thompson , United Healthcare , was deplorable personal vengeance. The Far Right of the Republican Party keeps insisting that the pro-CAPITALIST , pro-MILITARIST , pro -ISRAELI ZIONIST WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has an out of control Far-Left wing that somehow winks at terrorism and by some miraculous power of suggestion too often succeeds. In truth, the TWO PARTY SYSTEM is structured to uphold CORPORATE AMERICA power despite ideological broils within the American plutocracy . Way back in 1911 the Russian revolutionary, young firebrand Leon Trotsky, had this to say about " terrorism " in an essay OPPOSING this tactic : [ " Our class enemies are in the habit of complaining about our terrorism. What they mean by this is rather unclear. They would like to label all the activities of the proletariat directed against the class enemy’s interests as terrorism. The strike, in their eyes, is the principal method of terrorism. The threat of a strike, the organisation of strike pickets, an economic boycott of a slave-driving boss, a moral boycott of a traitor from our own ranks—all this and much more they call terrorism. If terrorism is understood in this way as any action inspiring fear in, or doing harm to, the enemy, then of course the entire class struggle is nothing but terrorism. And the only question remaining is whether the bourgeois politicians have the right to pour out their flood of moral indignation about proletarian terrorism when their entire state apparatus with its laws, police and army is nothing but an apparatus for capitalist terror! " ] If more and more fearful CEOs physically isolate themselves from their own employees and from THE BIG CITY MOB , while already living in highly protected gated communities , what does that say about the CLASS structure of " OUR democracy " ?
