Pseudo-left silent on Seymour Hersh’s exposé of US strike against Syria

Working class Americans not stupefied by the religion of " patriotism " NEED to know all about the dark side of the USA - really not much beyond their personal experience. And they deeply appreciate THE TRUTH- which itself is explosive and revolutionary.

The pseudo-Left believe in everything but class struggle, MASS ACTION politics. Their socially ambitious activists believe in elitist intrigue and also foolishly believe that THEY have friends in high places.

I once read this explanation of the " secret " of the success of the Bolsheviks in the Russian Revolution of 1917: they had numerous friends in very low places, among the most exploited and oppressed workers and peasants.

What do we hear from the likes of " socialist "Bernie Sanders and " progressive " Elizabeth Warren : hysterical calls to " save the middle class ". Not exactly a slogan for the Socialist Equality Party.

A simple slogan for the coming American revolution : WE DON'T NEED THE RICH !

Mark Twain’s Career-Changing Comedy Tour

Perhaps Edward Snowden can explain why there are so few comments.

 The mainstream news media has become THE VOICE of the CIA and the " Deep State ". Oh so FREE Americans - fearing for their jobs - FEAR TO SPEAK OUT.

Celebrate BIG BROTHER and the plutocratic Surveillance State on the Fourth of July ?

The best essay on Mark Twain I read lately was by none other than that scathing- seemingly conservative- social critic of " The American Scene " H.L. Mencken. What would this anti-imperialist author think about today's Democratic Party which in 2016 quickly evolved into a neo-con War Party ?

" Funny guy " Mark Twain had some very dark thoughts about about what H. P. Lovecraft would describe as " cosmic horror ". Read Mark Twain's " War Prayer ".
Democratic socialists can be more optimistic about " the damned human race " .

Maine Governor Says Government Shutdown Is 'Necessary For The Future'

  Why must  any state of the United States  have to endure an economic crisis as if it were a sovereign country ? Does the United States divided into 50 -even semi-independent- states make sense anymore in the 21st century?

My state of Rhode Island is also in big financial trouble. Which will not be solved by the " genius " Governor Gina Raimondo .

While we read about Wall. St. investors getting richer and richer, why should great states like Maine and Illinois ( and rhode island too ) be going bankrupt ?

Is the United STATES obsolete ?

Mass. Elections Officials Won't Comply With White House Voter Roll Request

If you want to talk about mere flaws in electoral process in the USA , you can begin with the Electoral College. PEOPLE constitute the basis of any real " democracy ". But as a matter of fact both the Democrats and the Republicans fear the populist principle of MAJORITY RULE.

In Rhode Island, for example,the " liberal " Democrats discouraged a referendum on gay marriage. I have no qualms about any civil contract , but I reject the idea of a self-appointed moral elite- usually with ruling class ties.

If the Democrats had campaigned against the Electoral College, Hillary Clinton would be president of the United States today.

But as it stands President Donald Trump is the LEGITIMATE president of the United States. Any democratic socialist will at least respect reality- while struggling to change it in any reasonable or necessary way.

The American political system is definitely rigged against third parties - on the Left or on the Right.
