Marxism in America

I know this won't be a surprise to some, but it's still worth seeing.

I am sick of hearing people use the words "Nazi" "Communist" and "Marxist" to refer to our political system. Our political system is nothing like that at all. And it is sad to see so many people that believe that is what our government has become. I think all of them should be sent back to Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, they will change their minds real quick.

You can hate it all you want, but it's the truth. Study socialism and marxism and OUR government as it was originally established, a republic, and you too will know it to be true.

While we may not yet demonstrate all of the attributes that Soviet Russia possessed, we are certainly on our way.

Repubs, dems, 'baggers, none of them could make it to office without bucket loads of cash from the super-rich and corporations. The entire bunch of them have sold us out.
All it's about for politicians is holding power and all it's about for big money is profit.
The well-being of our nation isn't even on the radar.

We have the best government money can buy.
While it doesn't fit the classic definition of fascism (it lacks authoritarianism) it fits pretty well with FDR's definition

The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.

Jim Kunstler just wrote

On Tuesday, when the Republican Party and its Tea Party chump-proxies re-conquer the sin-drenched bizarro universe of the US congress, they'll have to re-assume ownership of the stickiest web of frauds and swindles ever run in human history...
It's really too late for both parties. They're unreformable. They've squandered their legitimacy just as the US enters the fat heart of the long emergency. Neither of them have a plan, or even a single idea that isn't a dodge or a grift. Both parties tout a "recovery" that is just a cover story for accounting chicanery and statistical lies aimed at concealing the criminally-engineered national bankruptcy that they presided over in split shifts. Both parties are overwhelmingly made up of bagmen for the companies that looted America..

No, I'm not a cynic

Yes, we most certainly are. Anyone who denies this isn't looking at the facts.

Interesting information-

I am not denying it. I am just frustrated that people can't think of a unique response to what is going on. America isn't anything like Soviet Russia, and thats what they're trying to say. It reminds me of McCarythism....if you dont do what we do, youre a commie....It is just another form of extremism.

Why don't you provide a 'unique' response and we'll critique it.

Maybe you oughta talk to some liberals about the way they casually throw the word 'racist' around.

Sometimes the we make the truth more complex than it has to be.

Time has proved McCarthy correct though...

I think that Gen. Boykin definitly qualifies for "A-Hole of the Month Award." He is spewing so much right-wing radical goon crap from his spincters, that he might as well be wearing a Swastika armband.
Their is so much government socialism going on in military arms corporation's, by funding by the U.S. government to our military war machine, that it is definite form of government welfare socialism. That is something that these right-wing kook's never talk about.
Boykin can say "God Bless You," but I certainly hope he is not talking about my God, that I hope is blessing me!
