Oligarchy cannot ‘emerge’ because always and everywhere, it is the very premise of the Capitalist state.
The specific, Democratic Party contribution to oligarchic rule includes the retention of an handful of nominally ‘left’ ‘leaders’ who are paraded as ‘evidence’ of life among the dead.
B. Sanders, AOC, Dennis K. and others are paraded in the effort to redirect BACK INTO the Party those on the verge of escaping its orbit.
The ‘reformist’ and ‘push the party left’ narratives attempt to derail genuinely revolutionary developments BEFORE they become a significant force.
Once redirected into the Party, it is suffocated and strangled. The Democratic Party is where reform movements go to die.
WHEN a genuinely revolutionary movement arises that refuses to engage, the Sanders/AOCs etc. will be the first to train the machine guns on the population.
The Democratic Party is a pseudo-left tendency. It is implacably opposed to the interests of the proletariat, and it has NEVER been otherwise. Nor will it be.
Just watched a Chris Hedges address the goes to the heart of the national illness and why the corporate duopoly will do nothing to reform the death machine:
There's a new class action lawsuit filed on Khalil's behalf by the Arab Defense Fund that could bring this "executive odor" of Trump's spiraling down the crapper... If US agents (and were they actually "ICE" or the "Brown Shirts"?) don't identify themselves and don't have the proper warrant signed by an actual judge, then the arrest is null and void. But here they've kidnapped the poor guy and separated him from his pregnant wife... You gotta wonder how thick-skulled these gorillas in the Trump admin are for wanting to paint an even more unflattering picture of themselves. SIGH!
Bernie Sanders has been exposed as a sellout and he doesn’t like it one bit so he and AOC (another one) are pretending to be populists by going on some stupid “listening tour.”
Why don’t they stay in DC and write some bills? Like — raise the cap on the tax for Social Security so the richest pay a percentage tax on every dollar they report? Like — all children are automatically on free medical insurance until age 20? Like — websites for US doctors to send prescriptions directly to Canada to lower drug costs and be delivered directly to patients? But that’s not as much fun as going to Colorado and attending cocktail parties while they do nothing for anyone. There are so few members of Congress who have earned our trust and respect.
What is happening to Khalil is a disgrace and I hope he’s released and returned to his family. What this is also doing is keeping Gaza off the front page as they go into high gear to starve them into submission and step up the terror in the West Bank. Anything to take the focus off Gaza is probably what Mrs. Adelson demanded.
The unConstitutional Police State agencies were created after WW2. With unConstitutional laws like National Defence authorization Act, and many others especially war on drugs that imprisoned victimless crimes against individuals, especially blacks. It corrupted local law enforcement. unConstitutional seizures of property without charge. TSA does the same. Highway robbers. Also the unConstitutional Israeli police exchange programs that trained officers to import inhumanity and injustice to Life from Israel to USA, Instead of their enforcement of the Constitutional Law
But that means they couldn't oppress us 'pee-ons'.
Remember how that legislation was something like 800 pages long and it was presented to Congress just a few weeks after the attacks? 800 pages of legislation with no committee hearings or public testimony or public review. BANG! There it was ready to be voted on, and they did. It had obviously all been written up and ready to go when the right manufactured event took place.
I was an adjunct instructor at a state university at the time and taught a psych class the evening of 9/11. I got there early and arranged all the chairs in a circle with a candle on the floor in the middle and turned the overhead lights off. As the students came quietly into the room and gathered in the circle I remember saying to them, "As with Pearl Harbor or the assassination of JFK or MLK, the world changed today and will not be the same, ever again."
I knew that was true, but I really didn't grasp how much the world changed; how the nation collapsed and now here we are, a fascist state, just as the as*hole oligarchs plotted.
For nearly a quarter century I’ve been saying, “The most influential change agent in the world was Osama Bin Laden” That man had no idea what he was setting into motion. The wars, millions dead, millions maimed, money spent, resources destroyed, cultural histories destroyed, children becoming monsters, religion vilified, stripping down at airports …on and on and on. And Hitler and Pal Pot and Mao and Stalin all reborn in Biden and Trump. We are lost in a vortex of evil.
And, of course, without the CIA and US State Department, Bin Lain would have been just another obscenely rich Saudia Arabian nepo baby screwing the immigrant kitchen staff in the pantry. He was just an American tool (and Obama had his body dumped in the ocean? Yeah, right).
The US is responsible for it all. All of our recent wars have been for the benefit of Wall Street, US weapons companies and Israel. All those soldiers and innocent civilian casualties offered up to the Gods Of 'Murican Capitalism. We are the evil.
I believe in everything and nothing since reading about the Dulles’ and Kennedy. My entire life has been one huge lie and forever wars. Did the Zionists perpetrate 9/11? Could be. I feel like Sergeant Schultz every day, “I know nothing.” How much is the bridge? I have some Bitcoin I can pay you with… ?
‘Scuse me Thomas. If you still believe that bin Laden was responsible for 9-11, I have a bridge across the Straits of Mackinaw I’d like to sell you.
Are you NOT aware of all the evidence provided by experts that it couldn’t POSSIBLY have happened the way our guvvmint tried to sell it to the Amerikkkan public?
Bin Laden was merely a convenient scapegoat. It is ISRAHELL that set the destruction in West Asia in motion.
And I am not in the least impressed by your title, because unlike you, I possess common horse sense. My mare was smarter than you.
Love having a fact-free troll show up and strut their ignorance and racism on stage. Care to say more? Please, readers always get a kick out of such displays.

Brown Shirts and Gestapo don't worry too much about PR.
Or even following the simple rules of making a legal arrest of a person under US Code Section 8, Immigration laws.

I agree with all your points. Spread the word and deepen the resistance.

If they really wanted to make America great again, they'd repeal the Patriot Act.

The one thing that is absolutely true and you can count on is that EVERYTHING we are told is a lie. Honest!
Thomas, actually the director of CIA said that when all that Americans believe is a Lie, we have been successful

People are starting to notice the crickets.
