False equivalence of Dems and Reps is a dogmatic Left error <
CB : Not equally committed to war now . That’s importantly wrong at this concrete period . Obama had already explicitly reversed the Bush bellicose doctrines . Democrats FDR , LBJ, OBAMA were _not_ phony populists . Working class won major reforms through them. It’s infantile leftism to maintain the US working class has won no significant reforms in 90 years . You all might as well give up if the working class hasn’t won anything in 90 years . The right wing Bourgeoisie moving in desperation to fascism should prove that the mild Obama reforms are a real threat to the ruling class . The right wing Bourgeoisie are openly , blatantly trying to discard majority rule , prevent the majority from voting . Obama peace treaty with Iran blocks the next big war the military-industrial complex had planned . There can be no war with China because of Mutually Assured Destruction. Tensions with Soviet Union were sharper than today , and there could be no war. There will be no war with China despite all the saber rattling. Economic imperialism of course ; but Leninists support peaceful competition between different social systems ; socialist China is proving to the world the superiority of socialism in peaceful competition. False equivalence of Democrats and Republicans is now for 20 years a severe error of the infantile left . respinding to the following : "No both parties are really committed to imperialism, the opposition to the CIA and forever wars on Trumps part was just the same phony populism as you get with many US politicians."

No Dems are not complicit in cutting Obamacare , food stamp , right to abortion (!) , ICE Gestapo, tax cuts for wealthy, destruction of Civil Rights Acts (!!) , destruction of public education, bankrupting Detroit , stealing half my pension …. on and on.

21st Century ultra-lefts rhyme with 20th Century ultra-lefts Lenin criticized <
Lenin's Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder (1920) argues that communist parties must combine legal and illegal work, participate in bourgeois parliaments, and work within reactionary trade unions to gain mass support, rejecting the "infantile" ultra-left, sectarian, and dogmatic refusal to engage in tactical compromises. @ Key Aspects and Outline: • Context: Written to guide international communists, primarily in Germany and Britain, by applying lessons from the three Russian revolutions. • Core Critiaue: Lenin labels the reiection ofCore Critique: Lenin labels the rejection of parliamentary work and trade union participation as "left-wing" childishness, which isolates revolutionaries from the masses. • Key Arguments: • Flexibility & Tactics: Revolutionaries must utilize all legal, illegal, parliamentary, and non-parliamentary means to reach the masses. • Working within Trade Unions: Communists must not abandon reactionary unions but work within them to win over workers. • Parliamentary Participation: Refusal to participate in parliaments is a "childish" error; they should be used as a platform for propaganda. • Compromises: Not all compromises are opportunistic; Communists must distinguish between those that serve the revolution and those that betray it. • Discipline: The importance of ironopportunistic; Communists must distinguish between those that serve the revolution and those that betray it. • Discipline: The importance of iron discipline and centralized leadership within the party (Bolshevik model). • The "Infantile" Element: The tendency to mistake personal desires for objective reality, leading to a sectarian, "pure," but powerless movement. • Goal: To move beyond the initial, inexperienced phase of Communist parties to build a mass base capable of taking power. * Introduction to Lenin's<<

Abolish the fascist Republican Party Abolish the fascist Republican Party Labor Power Monday, October 12, 2020 Abolish the fascist Republican Party Republican Party has cheated to oligarchic or minority rule through gerrymandering , stealing Supreme Court appointments and minority Presidents . They follow Mussolini's fascist principle : "After Socialism, Fascism combats the whole complex system of democratic ideology, and repudiates it, whether in its theoretical premises or in its practical application. Fascism denies that the majority, by the simple fact that it is a majority, can direct human society; it denies that numbers alone can govern by means of a periodical consultation, and it affirms the immutable, beneficial, and fruitful inequality of mankind, which can never be permanently leveled through the mere operation of a mechanical process such as universal suffrage...." https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/mussolini-fascism.asp We must focus on the class aspect in our most fundamental definition of fascism. Fascism is open terrorist rule by the most reactionary , racist and bellicose sections of finance capital . The Republican Party represents those sections of the bourgeoisie . It is threatening and executing policies with respect to social programs that will _foreseeably_ result in premature deaths of 10,000's just as certainly as if they were machine gunned. The Republican accelerated round up of immigrants , threats to expel Dreamers and others , racist threat against African and Latin immigrants equal the Nazis treatment of Jews in the early years of the regime before the holocaustic level of killing. There is no premature anti -fascism by name . The President has spoken in support of openly Nazi marchers. Furthermore, the American fascist tradition is the KKK. The KKK had fascist rule in sections of the US before Italy (!) . The KKK is a core constituency of the Republican base . David Duke regularly endorses Trump's actions. Republicans have leaders like Roy Moore, who says life for Black people was better in slavery. The Attorney General is a political twin of Moore. Statues of Confederates litter the Southern landscape and rock star Kid Rock waves a Confederate flag in downtown , 85% Black Detroit. The NRA is also a rightwing militant and armed core group of the Republican base. And another unique feature of American fascism, I'd say , is libertarian fascism. Unlike the European state centered "well ordered " police forces, America has individualist killers doing mass shootings. This is libertarian fascism para-military to the Republican Party. The Republican Party is a fascist party. However , even though it holds most government offices , we don't have a fascist government (yet; there is no premature anti-fascism) because of the historical luck that the Republican President is at war with our secret police and spy agencies , the FBI and CIA; and the President is a Russian agent, of sorts ; he stumbled into it. We can't rely on that not changing; we have to warn the people. There is no premature anti-fascism. How could I forget. The Republicans are also mounting an effort to destroy the trade unions : work-for -less law iin traditional labor union stronghold Michigan, Supreme Court potential blow , Trump attacking. President supported a Nazi march in which a woman was murdered ! "Fascism" must be used rhetorically , not based on the identity between the current situation in the Republican Party and the fascists in Europe in the 20's and 30's. If we had warned of "fascism" in the time when it actually arose, the term would not have aroused much alarm because fascism had not become what it became : fastest big murdering system of all times. Terms like tyranny, barbarism and savagery had to be used to get people's attention . Of course , technically it was not tyranny, a system in Ancient Greece. But because of the rhetorical need the term was used non-technically. Similarly with fascist today. History does not repeat itself , but it does rhyme sometimes. On the other hand , on the technical point, the Republican Presidential contenders all represent the most racist , bellicose, reactionary sections of finance capital. Trump threatens open terrorist rule against specially despised national and racial groups. Bush launched aggressive , unprovoked war against Iraq, a Crime Against Peace, which Hermann Goering was sentenced to death for at Nuremberg.So, Republicans are right on the edge with meeting the technical definition . There is no premature anti- fascism Republican Party is a fully , openly fascist party now. Someone says : "The republicans are planning to kill thousands more veterans by yanking life-support and healthcare out from under them. They have to know what they're planning will kill that many, but they just don't care. The GOP core belief seems to be that if you can't work and pay taxes through working, you do not have a right to life -- even if you lost that ability fighting in one of the pointless wars they started. This is eerily similar to the "euthanasia program" the nazi's were operating in Germany right before the war. The elderly, the chronically ill and infirmed, the maimed (many of whom were veterans of WWI) were sent to "free" clinics to be treated. They were actually murdered, either with gas or an injection, and their survivors would receive a letter reporting about how they died from pneumonia or some other cause. Sometimes the remains were returned, sometimes they weren't." June 2016 I said , Some like me call the Republican Party fascist, way past a whiff. "Populist"-fascist . Capable of open terrorist rule , especially targeting racial minorities , representing the most reactionary , chauvinist , bellicose sections of finance capital; there is no premature anti-fascism. CB : Yea better to use "fascist." Fascism started and got its name in Italy. There was fascism in Spain , too. Republican Party has Italian Fascist characteristics like minority rule or oligarchy . Joe : "I understand the word Nazi is overused, and used poorly, often. Until they kill so many innocents as Hitler did Jewish people, nobody will be in the league with Hitler. But NOT using the word out of deference to extremist sensitivities, or out of political correctness, clearly benefits whatever group is MOST LIKE the fascists referred to. There's no doubt about that. And if any group shares the methodology of fear-mongering, racist nationalism, and politically weaponized xenophobia, it is of the utmost importance that ordinary people recognize it. That because the modern GOP seems to use a similar tool set, and they are very active right now.." Bull: the Republicans are the liars , cheaters , thieves , unAmericans , not the Democrats. False equivalence of Dems and Reps helps the fascist Republicans. AMERICANS FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AMERICANS FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY Republicans are a bunch of lying demagogues, tellers of half-lies, prevaricators. We must get rid of the GOP ! We must get rid of the GOP 1 Like the old, old Whig Party, the ole, ole Republican Party has got to go, go, go onto the garbage heap of American history. It gets worse every day ! Every damn day , some stupid Republican says something fascist , just beyond the pale , unconscionable. There's a rightwing insanity epidemic in the tea Republican Party. https://take10charles.blogspot.com/2015/03/americans-for-abolition-of-republican.html?m=1 No both parties do _not_ work for the same bosses ! Vote Democrat ! Republicans used to pretend that they hate tariffs , Russians , bailouts , budget deficits and debts: the Grand Ole Party of Liars only cares about getting more of the total amount of money in the system to the rich, the One Percent , the One capitalists , who already have most of it; and beating down the 99% economically and socially. This is socioeconomic fascism. And budget deficits and debts: the Grand Ole Party of Liars only cares about getting more of the total amount of money in the system to the rich, the One Percent , the One capitalists , who already have most of it; and beating down the 99% economically and socially. This is socioeconomic fascism. CB: Republicans' war on Women is its central fascist plank. Jim says : "I’ve been somewhat amused to listen as both old and young progressives argue about whether Trump is a “real” fascist. I love reading about the history of antifascist resistance during the 30’s and 40’s, and have enjoyed greatly my associations with antifascist fighters from that period. But this discussion is pointless and gets us nowhere. The facts are the Republican Party has waged an unceasing campaign against American democratic institutions for the last eight years, since the election of Obama, who they tried to delegitimize with their birther movement. You don’t think they have become a fascist movement? Fine! Call it what you want, put whatever label you want on it. Now days the Republicans don’t even try to hide their nihilism. They have tried to shut the government down, destroy Social Security and Medicare and shred the safety net. They have fought tooth and nail against any effort to hold Wall Street and the financial industry accountable for their deprivations against the American people. Their scapegoats extend to Muslims, undocumented immigrants, feminists and people of color who they blame for all of America’s woes. They also attack and harass scientists who try to warn us about the dangers and consequences of climate change. They tried and are still attempting to undermine the Iranian nuclear agreement, going so far as to use the Israeli prime minister as a weapon against our president. They have had some success in sabotaging health care reform, suppressing voting rights, gerrymandering voting districts, destroying workers’ ability to collectively bargain, and restricting women’s rights to control their bodies. They continue to vilify gay and transgender people. They have sought to obstruct and undermine the entire federal judiciary, not just the Supreme Court. They have encouraged their followers to consider violence and taking up arms if they are unable to win at the ballot box. State Republican leaders have threatened succession. The modern Republican Party is not the party of Lincoln. Nor is it the party of Eisenhower. It’s not even the party of Nixon. It represents the greatest threat to America since the Confederate states succession. Let us not be distracted by the Bundy’s, the play-soldier militias, the Klan or the other assorted pathetic pawns. They have no power beyond a few guns and bullets that give their empty lives some purpose. It’s the Republican Party that is the greatest threat to our society, and the sooner we understand that the sooner we will be able to unite to counter their threat. Is the Left going to discuss the fact that we are in fascism ? No because the Republicans are the fascist party and the Democrats are NOT a fascist party nor are the Democrats enablers , or fake opponents of the Republicans. So, the Left ( all of it almost , so ultra-left is redundant) can't call out the fascism because that would violate their number one dogmatic principle that there is no difference between the parties. You both are right on ! Trumpist Republican Party is the Reaganite Republican Party in the nude , revealing it's essence, at its logical conclusion : anti-working class, white supremacist and male supremacist Thomas : "The Republican Party is turning into a fascist party much like Le Pen's National Front in France. The GOP is now so far to the the right from even the GOP of even Barry Goldwater's and dare I say, Ron Reagan." George : "Goldwater, Nixon and Ronnie Raygun laid the foundation for the current mess. They hid behind lofty slogans, but they were fundamentally saying the same crap!" Bruce : "We are not allowed to compared the Nazi-like behavior of the Republican Party to Nazis because it upsets them. So here's a question. In the 1930s, who did people refer the actual Nazis to earlier in history? What was the most evil group people would have heard of to call the Nazis?" CB: Exactly: use of "Nazis" or "fascist" now is rhetorical , even if the Republicans are not just like Hitler or Mussolini's parties. Calling Hitler a Nazi then wouldn't inform people because the Nazis hadn't murdered tens of millions yet. You'd have to say tyrants or barbarians . Rosa Luxembourg said "Socialism or Barbarism " before the Nazis. Got to call Republicans fascists to alarm people, though Americans are generally very ignorant of history , even World War II history. CB: US is under a fascist Republican Troika - Congress , President and Supreme Court ; evolved fascism since Reagan It continues... -The Supreme Court just upheld the Trump anti-Muslim travel ban. -The Supreme Court also just upheld the right of pro-life centers to prevent abortions by deceiving women about their true purposes. To do otherwise, the "Court" claims, would infringe on the centers' First Amendment rights...

Care work refers to activities that meet the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of others and to feelings of affection, concern, or responsibility toward those receiving care.[1][2] It may be performed for pay or without remuneration and takes place both within households and through institutions such as schools, hospitals, and child care centers.[3][4] Paid care occurs in formal employment settings, while unpaid care is typically carried out within families and communities, and households often combine both forms.[5] Care work may be direct, involving face-to-face interaction, or indirect, consisting of tasks that sustain the conditions under which care is provided.[6][7]

Why can China build massive infrastructure, high speed rail, entire urban districts and public projects at a speed that leaves many Western visitors stunned?
And is the answer really as simple as: "because
China is authoritarian"?
In this video, we react at Johnny Harris' attempt to understand the system behind modern China from the Communist Party and Deng Xiaoping's reforms to technocratic governance, local government incentives and one of the largest reductions
