No male blue collar worker would dare make sexual passes at a female " superior ".

Elizabeth Warren Describes Sexual Harassment As A Young Law Professor

What do these ME TOO sexual harassment stories in the news lately have in common ? They involve the misconduct of upper class males toward women just a bit lower in social status.

In general the American RULING CLASS -both male and female- uses their economic power to demand servile behavior from their social inferiors.

The " liberal " Democrats have no quarrel with economic inequality rooted in capitalism. Even those " progressive " Democrats , true " identity politics " warriors, are blind to blatant displays of SNOBBERY. And the upper class females are warned not to date " below " while single. No blue collar male employee would dare make bold sexual passes at a female " superior ". If you want true sex equality in the USA , you must demand economic equality.

Only the MAD US ruling class should have a nuclear weapons monopoly ?

Letter: Laura Kralicky: More diplomacy, fewer threats, needed on nuclear weapons

There has been no move toward BAN THE BOMB nuclear disarmament because the US ruling class sees its super power nuclear weapons superiority as the last defense of its global hegemony. It would not hesitate to use atomic bombs against a rebellious American people. But the military madmen can be disarmed before it is too late. 

WE THE PEOPLE have no " enemies " in North Korea, or China or Russia or Iran - or even poor Venezuela. Bad as THEY are they are not attacking the very right to life of working class Americans. The Democrats and the Republicans are responsible for much mass misery in the United States

 Don't blame Vladimir Putin for the decay of American democracy. 

Only the MAD US ruling class should have nuclear weapons monopoly ?

The US lurches toward military dictatorship

In the form of under-reported public opinion there still exists a measure of " civilian control " over the military. To the degree that ordinary Americans see the government as " democratic " they will tolerate large numbers of regular troops deployed. How can hundreds of thousands of American soldiers be deployed to enforce the New Colonialism in the Middle East or be stationed in an " enemy " country after a USA ordered nuclear attack ? Already sick of " endless war ", the not so few " brave and bold " will not be put in a mutinous mood ?
The breaking point in Vietnam was , I recall , 500,000 American combat troops with hundreds of casualties a week. 
And that would put about 500,000 anti-war protesters in the streets on one day in 1969, or 1970 or 1971. Clearly US imperialism would have to share the spoils of war with many dubious allies.
How much protest would a draft - of males and females- provoke ? . Fascist America cannot possible resemble Nazi Germany overnight - with sheep-like submission. Or will it ? I am not yet bumping into any goose stepping working class or middle class neighbors .
Will American fascist propaganda proclaim not a master RACE but a master NATION ? ( Rainbow Fascism ? With female pilots dropping H- bombs ? ).

Russia paranoia in the USA - 1950s flavored McCarthyism redux

The Russia Investigations: Interference Impacted Real Life; Senators Propose New Law

This is 1950s flavored McCarthyism REDUX : every principled protest in the street is connected with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? How stupid does the mainstream news media think we are ?

Is Russia the source of protest against outrageous economic inequality in the USA or the source of protest against our endless and stupid New Colonialism in the Middle East ? No " patriotic " Americans would even think about protesting nuclear World War III ?

       Oddly enough, the " liberal " Democrats are promoting the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism .

        They have completely lost touch with the American working class. Doubling down on " identity politics " and foolish rants against imagined " white supremacy " will not make them the dominant party again.

           Their dumb " threats " against President Trump are not based on any " democratic " principles.

Smearing political opponents as KKK type racists or woman haters or homophobes is just plain dirty politics.

 Working class voters who supported Trump are not Archie Bunker " deplorables ". They just correctly sized up " Hawk Hillary ", " Wall St. Hillary ", Corrupt , Queen of the Status Quo Hillary Clinton.

 They need a genuine American Labor Party - not a bipartisan alliance against the working class. They do not need false friends like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
