Becoming deeply jealous of the Russians just because their oligarchs have at least read Marx to understand how political economy actually works. Ours read self-help books called “good merger, bad merger: the 5 secrets to corporate success”

That's because all of these institutions, including the democrats, are bought and paid for by the very people attacking the country

It isn't as if one of the greatest historians of SCOTUS proved that it follows the election returns and rubber-stamps the decisions of the powerful...

Thanks for sharing your feelings

if a genuinely left wing administration somehow found their way into the executive branch I promise we would see how swiftly and decisively the system's resilience would kick in and put an immediate end to every single "overreach"

When Corbyn was the leader of Labour the party operatives did everything they could to stop him.
They actively worked to lose elections.
That should tell you everything.

Ask Jeremy Corbyn...

the Trump admin is able to do what they're doing because it doesn't pose a danger to the ruling class or to capital accumulation. far from having checks and balances to stop their efforts, the system is DESIGNED to serve THEIR interests. the checks and balances are for US not them

you can talk to a liberal pundit for hours about what specific mechanisms cause judges to shrug and shuffle powerlessly as their rulings are ignored—you can even get into the psychology of specific judges. OR you can be an adult and analyze the world through a Marxist materialist framework

this is why liberalism is such an ineffective and feckless political tool. it simply cannot perceive the world outside of its own narrow (and delusional) idealism. it's why they live in the sphere of finding logical flaws in the right's arguments or other gotchas instead of actually lifting a finger

the only tool that has ever been an effective bulwark against the right and against fascism is Marxism and materialism. communist movements, communist militants, communist ideology. any "left" liberal—from Bernie Sanders to Amy Goodman—will fail, again and again, in their analysis and their approach

robpertray.bsky.social•23 days ago

no disrespect to Democracy Now! but listening to their coverage (along with many other liberal "left") outlets has been so enlightening. it's all liberalism. it's all idealism. no material analysis, no Marxist analysis, not socialist guests (let alone Marxist-Leninist guests)
