Capitalism makes EVERYBODY miserable- even President Donald Trump

The campaign against comedian Samantha Bee over her comments on Ivanka Trump

 

Educated, professional -rarely drunk-individuals rarely use de-humanizing curse words or bar room vulgar language. I recall when it was only tolerated in cheap Las Vegas entertainers. But the mainstream news media -including Fox News - is sinking to the level of the old tabloids .

                  If you can't get through the day without hearing a torrent of cuss words , this is a sign of a sea change in popular FEELING - subterranean rumbling of a coming EXPLOSION in this decaying capitalist CLASS divided society.

                People dressed in thousand dollar suits talking like wretched slaves. Capitalism makes everybody miserable . Does even billionaire President Donald Trump LOOK like a happy guy ? He too needs SOCIALISM the way the high class alcoholic needs AA.

  It is not easy to DETOX from a life of extravagant privilege. And who has a greater sense of ENTITLEMENT than our ruling class plutocracy ? Compare this to " abused " SNAP benefits in the working class , to Ronald Reagan's notorious-and mostly fictitious- " welfare queens " ( they got him elected Governor of California ) .

             And yet when do you read any serious social criticism in the capitalist newspapers ? Thousands of bright young people, graduate from college, are made ( by education ! ) incapable of even IMAGINING a saner way of life.

                   The enlightened few need to " Howl " .

Yes , you CAN be rich and miserable !

Does TRADE WAR among allies preclude World War III with Russia ?

Trump administration takes major step toward global trade war

 

The contradictions of global capitalism are truly mind boggling. If " friendly " NATO and Old Europe nations are fated to have a ferocious TRADE WAR among themselves , there might be no energy or will left for nuclear World War III with " evil " Russia, China, North Korea, Iran.
The intellectual bankruptcy of All American capitalism explains mainstream news media focus on private life degeneracy and the character defects ( or just sins against political correctness and " identity politics ") of vulnerable " celebrity " individuals- like Roseanne Barr.
We live in a social system incapable of rational self-criticism , making peaceful change rather unlikely. Technical genius is marred by social idiocy

I liked Senator Elizabeth Warren before Hillary Clinton corrupted her

WBUR Poll Finds Big Cushions Continue For Baker And Warren

I would like to hear " progressive " Senator Elizabeth Warren lecture a " liberal " college audience on the complete moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the Democratic Party . She endorsed " Hawk Hillary ", " Wall St. Hillary " in 2016. Come November, come the 2020 presidential election in the United States, she will still have nothing better to offer the American working class - whatever their race, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnic group.

                    At best Warren might attract the Bernie Sanders crowd of anti-socialist Socialists with a blind eye to Zionist Apartheid Israel.

              I liked Elizabeth Warren years ago when she seemed to shed real tears in TV interviews for the ruined or " fear of falling " American middle class. Now she just talks like a Hillary Clinton " sister ".

      WE need an American Labor Party - like the British Labor Party in many ways but bolder and more militant, less compromised.

Pernicious climate change.... NO COUNTRY IS GOD'S COUNTRY !

It's Time To Take Climate Change Personally

It is easy " to take climate change personally " after seeing too many of " The Four Seasons " ( to the tune of Vivaldi ) you remember as " fixed " in your childhood now warped and blighted as if in a 1950s " Day the World Ended " science fiction-horror film.

           But the battle against global warming ( the energy redistribution also explains the weird BIG CHILL winters ) is hopeless unless the human race establishes COLLECTIVE CONTROL over the big energy industries and " international socialism " , a planned world economy , establishes rational control over ALL capitalist FOR PROFIT industry.

   Free Market worship is now just plain suicidal for the human species - which could be as doomed as thousands of other species in the course of life on earth. Only CONSCIOUS, RATIONAL control of the world economy can save us- with the help of what humans have experienced since THE FALL( knowledge of good and evil ? ) of the transcendent ( or divine ) FORCE.

             There is now nothing more ridiculous than nation-state rivalry. No country is " God's Country ". Focus on that famous 1968 EARTH RISE view of the GOOD EARTH .

WE might still have a wonderful future.

Childhood nightmares coming true
