Putin’s people have free health care, and free college, and were it not for US sanctions and threats to anyone who deals with them, rather than our exploitation class, his people would be thriving economically.

As expected Trump brought about a chaos and schisms in the US which are the first step towards a recognition and understanding of the ruling class. Presidential weakness had always been obscured by the cooperation of the main media, but as they are so strongly arranged against him, they tear away all the protections and thereby expose themselves as well. It is a healthy form of political healing and as long as they can keep concentrating on the fatuous argument of the Russian collusion and the interventions they will open up all barricades against a full insight in the establishment’s… Read more »
PS Moreover by concentrating on Trump’s deficiencies as a human being and belittling him, one obscures his real threat Namely that he is as sly as a fox while pretending stupidity and lack of insight. He manipulates the media who fall over themselves in order to diminish him and thereby ignoring his real danger. Trump is a master at dissimulation and knows how to divert attention from his cabinet of reactionaries who get thus their way. It is useless to attack him instead of his total reactionary package. Even Putin was cautious and wary of Trump as is very visible… Read more »
Gui — I think you give this man too much credit. But, for the most part, I agree with your summation. However, “….sly as a fox while pretending stupidity…” doesn’t seem to apply to this man. I would say that he isn’t pretending to be stupid. I wouldn’t say that he is sly like a fox either.

As quoted from the cynical movie ‘Being There’ Chauncey Gardener is an easily seen through con artist. Trump is not. The ones who are deluded are those who think that they see through him. Obviously, the US Left has not learnt anything from Hitler’s rise to power. He was seen as a harmless halfwit orator with big words about nothing, till he fought his way upward with the same kind of criminal entourage as Trump has, protected by the German elites. Why does the badly educated USA Left not read history?!
Trump is of course not a Hitler, nor is his cabinet as venal as that of Goering, Goebels and their gang. But the comparisons with the dying days of the Weimar Republic are not entirely spurious. The internal political chaos, the financial restoration after the Depression of 1930 by cutting state benefits while the foreign currency rates restricted German exports, the vague populist promises and the revulsion of the working classes with their fate were enough to support a striving National Socialist party against the elected and despised government. The N.S.D.A.P. was thought a liberation from the continual corrupt Weimar… Read more »
