They need to read up on Marx. Communism and socialism are not one and the same. While they are both Marxist ideologies that have vast differences.

25th amendment time. The man is clearly mentally ill.

I’m interested to see how the unorthodox redistricting in Texas and other states hold up with this lawsuit. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

That would be nice. But I feel it might be more president snow and the hunger games. Democrats still have a lot of work to do if they are going to flip both houses of Congress in 2026.

Capitalist nationalist. NPR had a good term for it today. Patrimonial ism- basically treating the state like it’s a private business rewarding loyalists and disposing of those that oppose the leader.

Historyguy00 @historyguy00.bsky.social · 16h

Cautiously optimistic. That’s the term I would use. We need to put the right people on the ballot in the right locations. You can’t put a Bernie Sanders on the ballot in Alabama and expect to win. Strategy is appealing to moderates and independents in red states while going whole hog in blue states.

About as rigged as the re-districting in Texas.

It is this utter collapse of a power only recently present, no, its complete disappearance (just as in 1918) that I find so staggering.

not even in the name of the government--today the whole Saxon cabinet, etc., etc. A complete revolution and party dictatorship. And all opposing forces as if vanished from the face of the earth.

Historyguy00 @historyguy00.bsky.social · 1d

Since then day after day commissioners appointed, provincial governments trampled underfoot, flags raised, buildings taken over, people shot, newspapers banned, etc., etc. Yesterday the dramaturge Karl Wolf dismissed "by order of the Nazi Party"--

An indignant denial, no harm will come to loyal Jews. Directly afterward the Central Association of Jewish Citizens in Thuringia is banned because it had criticized the government in "Talmudic fashion" and disparaged it.

A main tenant of fascism is control of the markets and capitalism to meet the ends of the state. Fear mongering and strong arming corporations is a way to gain compliance and influence that control.

I love the propaganda machine these twat waffles are spewing.

Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

I will call that bluff. Bet they don’t have the balls to deal with that shit storm. Even if the public doesn’t the airlines will raise hell because of all the money they’ll loose.

DO IT. SHUT IT DOWN. I don’t think he’s going to get the results he thinks he will. But it would be effective. Americans can barely tolerate weather delays 🤣

I’d risk it. There is no reason to stay silent when laws are being broken already.

I applaud the efforts to stick it to the fascist. However everyone is showing or airing ice ad’s and I mean everyone even the local FM radio stations. It’s the unfortunate state of propaganda that we live in. Capitalism is going to win out until heads are in the metaphorical guillotine.

Because that worked so well when we decided to go after Poncho Via in the early 1900’s.
