The Occupation of America | The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich [ Socialism should be obvious . But it isn't ]

The leaders of organized labor in " OUR democracy ' have been corrupted for decades by the now WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party. So now they must deal with the FASCIST-ZIONIST " New Regime " of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and pretend that THEIR WOKE WARRIOR Democrats are going to rescue the decades long stagnant American labor movement. Nor is it likely that intellectually honest, consistent, but still -after more than a century of global REACTION - politically unrealistic Marxist " vanguard " parties will win the hearts and the minds of the American " proletariat ". Most common people are not turned on by dreary sectarian fanatics of " Marxist " style power politics and their incurably pugnacious atheism that invariably offends the religious instincts of the masses. What WE THE PEOPLE need to rescue whatever is left of " OUR democracy " is an AMERICAN LABOR PARTY -like the British Labor PARTY - BIG and influential but less stuffy and compromised with the capitalist " Power Elite ". Within this party factions can compete for the favor of the majority . ALL members will agree on the need to protect the working class from FASCIST reaction. But they may not all agree with the stout socialists and communists among them on the extent of checking landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights. It seem axiomatic to this longtime independent democratic socialist the American working class as a whole must want to take RESPONSIBILITY for the means of production with the help of an able , " progressive " ( a " cut above " ? )managerial class that at least has the gift of COMPETENCE . Socialist writer George Orwell once wrote that " socialism should be obvious " . But it isn't !
