I agree that the most decisive why to remove this disaster is to vote him out.
Dear Frank Schaeffer:
You said it! You said, ‘class war!’
I’d like to redefine some of the terminology you ‘toss around.’
The billionaire class ==> Ownership Class: factories, fields, forests, mines, etc.
Billionaire corporate class Trash Club ==> Dominant social class under late stage Capitalism.
Ordinary Americans ==> the working class, the 90%, the proletariat.
Corporate stock buybacks ==> Normal business under late stage Capitalism.
‘Toss them out’ ==> A slogan proposing displacement of one ruling class trash faction with another.
‘Regulate properly’ ==> A slogan seeking to sound ‘progressive’ while proposing and/or committing to nothing.
‘Clip the wings of the high and mighty rich and entitled’ ==> Cynical demagoguery exploiting working class anger.
‘Fair shot’ ==> Factories, fields, forests, mines etc. are socially owned, and run by democratically elected worker. committees, and ill-gotten ruling class gains are expropriated for productive investment in society.
Pabloite thuggery has no working class policy, and can’t devise it. It’s one thing for the IFB [Investment/Finance/Banking] class to bash the Ownership Class. But the IFB class DEPENDS on the Ownership Class for its wealth and status. So the Democrat Party can NEVER break that capitalist system alliance. So the game is up, Frank!
It’s time for the working class to end the musical chairs trash rotation system!
