“Our suicidal march began long before Donald #Trump and his bizarre court of #buffoons, #sycophants, #grifters and #Christianfascists took power. It began when the #rulingclass … set out to harvest the country and empire for personal profit.” open.substack.com/pub/chrished...

America’s Suicide Pact
America’s Suicide Pact

America’s suicidal march began long before Donald Trump. Trump and the buffoons around him are the inevitable final chapter of the decaying empire.

#KarlMarx is the most consequential #economist of the past two centuries, and his work as a #sociologist identified the struggle against #oppression as a key motor of history. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1883 he died in London. Meanwhile, the #RulingClass keeps adapting and lives on.
From Epstein to Bezos, the Ruling Class Is Rotten to the Core

Let this week be yet another reminder that plutocrats are a threat to democracy, not its saviors.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

Just now, when every one is bound, under pain of a decree in absence convicting them of lèse-respectability, to enter on some lucrative profession, and labour therein with something not far short of enthusiasm, a cry from the opposite party, who are content when they have enough, and like to look on and enjoy in the meanwhile, savours a little of bravado and gasconade. And yet this should not be. Idleness so called, which does not consist in doing nothing, but in doing a great deal not recognized in the dogmatic formularies of the ruling class, has as good a right to state its position as industry itself.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1877-07), “An Apology for Idlers,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 36

As Epstein Files Turn Into Partisan Circus, Institutional Power Protects Its Own – The USA Potato

Did I share this yet? One of the best movies ever and a great glimpse into Christianity and excesses of the ruling class. It's rough and not for the timid, based on historical fact.

A quotation from George Orwell

One ought not to pay any attention to Hitler’s recent line of talk about being the friend of the poor man, the enemy of plutocracy, etc etc. Hitler’s real self is in Mein Kampf, and in his actions. He has never persecuted the rich, except when they were Jews or when they tried actively to oppose him. He stands for a centralised economy which robs the capitalist of most of his power but leaves the structure of society much as before. The State controls industry, but there are still rich and poor, masters and men. Therefore, as against genuine Socialism, the moneyed class have always been on his side. This was crystal clear at the time of the Spanish civil war, and clear again at the time when France surrendered. Hitler’s puppet government are not working men, but a gang of bankers, gaga generals and corrupt right-wing politicians.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-02-19), “The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius,” Part 2 “Shopkeepers at War,” sec. 3, The Searchlight Books [ed. Fyvel and Orwell]
