The Supreme Court is incompatible with economic democracy


As a democratic socialist myself I am a critical supporter of Democrat Bernie Sanders and his rather vague leftist ” political revolution “. I suspect Sanders understands that even a moderate ” socialist ” president would think that the Supreme Court- progressive or conservative-as an American institution is quite simply incompatible with economic democracy. The working class majority- and America is no longer a middle class nation- cannot permit a single non-progressive judge to frustrate its political will. In short,, we must abolish the Supreme Court. THAT is political revolution. Abolish the Electoral College too. Finally, abolish capitalism and capitalist private property. This is political revolution, Bernie.

Corrupt Chinese legal scholars mourn Supreme Court 's Judge Scalia



Corrupted by Chinese capitalism, itself a corruption of socialism, corrupted by a Chinese Communist Party that betrayed even Mao Thought, the Chinese legal scholars have delusions about the American Supreme Court being " independent " of the American ruling class. Just recently one Big Energy lackey credited the Supreme Court with saving the polluting coal industry in defiance of public opinion. Democratic socialism , if it takes root in the United States, would ultimately abolish our Supreme Court. Indeed many black robed YOUR HONORS would be retired. Find ONE today who is openly contemptuous of capitalism and sacrosanct private property. To be sure , the present Supreme Court protected the free speech rights of for profit corporations by calling them " persons ". Judicial brilliance indeed.
  [  "   The coal industry isn’t exactly popular in polite circles these days. Michael Bloomberg’s Bloomberg Philanthropies teamed up with the Sierra Club for a campaign that boasts about how many coal-fired electric power plants it has forced closed. But our Supreme Court stuck to the law and protected the coal-burning companies who had nowhere else to turn. "]

Real socialism is bolder than anything Bernie Sanders is saying

    Hillary is bought and sold by Wall St. But real democratic socialism is much bolder and " radical " than anything Bernie Sanders is saying. Real socialism always and everywhere questions the moral legitimacy of " legitimate " wealth. It has no qualms about seizing the means of production, private wealth from the exploiting class. Just what can any one human being DO in the course of a working day that entitles him to millions or billions of dollars ? The Free Market is highly irrational. Socialism will end this insanity.And the voters are listening.

Do we need the permission of the Supreme Court to abolish American capitalism ?

comment author avatarA real democratic socialist would encourage American voters to rethink the " wisdom of the U.S. Constitution however Just Judges -liberal or conservative- are interpreting it. Since when does any healthy popular democracy let one reactionary judge prevail on a momentous legal issue?  There should be a Constitutional amendment permitting the majority of voters to nullify Supreme Court decisions- or to abolish the Supreme Court. The Just Judges are as subservient to capitalism as the Republican Congress. And " socialist " Bernie Sanders knows it .
   Do we need the permission of the Supreme Court to replace American capitalism with democratic socialism - with economic democracy ?
        Can a democratic socialist be nominated for the Supreme Court ? It is no accident that you can hardly find a " respectable " judge in capitalist America who questions the profit system and sacrosanct private property. Dream about that, Hillary Clinton.
