While highly explosive, the Floyd case doesn’t seem to be unique for Minneapolis cops, it has emerged. The city paid out three million dollars to settle a lawsuit over the 2010 death of David Smith, a 28-year-old black man who was electrocuted and was also kept in a choke hold face-down for several minutes.

In just a few minutes Caleb provides a reliable chart to locate where true Marxist knowledge and practice reside. Not in the abstruse formulations of existentialists like Sartre or Camus, not to mention the impenetrable narcissistic nonsense of postmodernists, nor the angst-riddled whining and gyrations of liberals like Susan Sontag or Gloria Steinem, or in other voices of the fashionable (and comfortable) “New Left”, but among real people, some of them leaders, like Xi Jinping, who have lived in and struggled among those working extremely hard, often risking their lives, to build socialism, in this case “Socialism with Chinese characteristics,” which, like all socialisms as per Marxist theory, is only the bridge to a much better future society denominated communism.

Catching up with Jimmy Dore’s Eyeopening Salvos
7 minutes readHere’s Jimmy Dore talking about several topics that need more attention and discussion. All of this in late March and early April, 2020. The main takeaway seems to be what many of us have been saying and many more intuit for some time: the confusion in the political system, much of it product of the constant dissemination of indecent lies by the establishment media and institutions, this fact made worse by the truth implosion of the liberal center (mostly represented by Democrats in he USA) has left people flailing in all directions, and traditional labels are no longer terribly reliable to chart events. This means that people must find truth wherever they can find it (assuming they can recognise it), EVEN on the lips of Republicans rather than “progressives”.
