Slow-Motion Genocide: Trumpcare, Betrayal of Puerto Rico Are Schemes to Exterminate Minorities and Surplus Workers

Black Athletes' Revolt Could Change USian Revolutionary Dynamics 

APART FROM THE ONGOING rebellion of African-American athletes, the influence of which is already spreading beyond the realm of sports,  probably the most important story in the USian Homeland right now is the One Percent's escalation of its efforts to radically reduce Working Class and non-white populations, whether by abandoning Puerto Rico  to the most immediately deadly aspects of terminal climate change or by making healthcare so expensive  only the One Percenters and their Ruling Class vassals can afford it.

Both tactics, denial of post-disaster aid and denial of healthcare, are obvious expressions of Capitalism's strategy of exterminating unwanted or surplus populations by boiled-frog methods of slow-motion genocide.

Meanwhile the athletes' rebellion offers the hitherto-unexplored potential of expanding revolutionary leadership to include a group of people who are not only profoundly respected for their physical prowess but are literally adored by a segment of the USian population that spans every race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and caste.

Whether and to what extent that potential might explode into actuality depends on how brutally the authorities suppress the athletes. The team owners' verbal alliance with the dissidents is obviously an attempt at nonviolent suppression, specifically by co-optation, but in such a white supremacist JesuNazi police state as the U.S.has become, literally anything is now possible.

That's why, though the Mainstream Media pundits assure us the athletes' protests are succeeding, also that there will be aid for Puerto Rico and that the latest Trumpcare terror will never become law, we dare not forget these pundits are the same Josef Goebbels types who assured us Trump/Pence JesuNazism would never be headquartered in the White House – the name of which has now been fully restored to its grotesque antebellum appropriateness.

We are thus ruled by an ideological combination of JesuNazi white supremacy and Ayn Rand moral imbecility in which anyone who is neither wealthy nor a Christian Identity fanatic is damned as the same sort of üntermenschen the Trump/Pence Regime's German Nazi predecessors gleefully consigned to the concentration camps. If We the (Real) People are to have the slightest hope of survival...

Trumper-Tantrums Foul USian Professional Athletes; Amateurs Join Pros to Penalize Trump-Pence Bigotry

MOST OF YOU are probably familiar with at least some elements of the following story. But as a [long-ago] sportswriter and sports editor who is also a near-lifelong Marxist, I believe I approach it from a unique perspective. 

 

What began as a sports controversy over anti-racist protests by Colin Kaepernick has evolved into a nationwide rebellion against white supremacy.  And its ranks are already being reinforced by high school athletes. 

 

Hence I now view this long-overdue uprising as a uniquely revealing stand against the socioeconomic fragmentation and genocidal terror inflicted on minorities and minority-supporting Caucasians by the white racist hatefulness personified by the Trump-Pence Regime and the white majority that voted it into office.

 

That's why I suspect the conflict's final resolution will be unerringly prophetic, telling us in no uncertain terms whether these whites will follow the Trump/Pence Regime's malignantly racist leadership into a JesuNazi replica of Hitler's Germany.

UNTIL NOW, COMPETITIVE SPORTS in the USian Homeland, whether amateur or professional, were mostly apolitical, especially from the perspective of the fans. 

 

Apart from yea-team partisanship, you left your politics behind whenever you joined the solidarity of stalwarts gathered to witness a sporting event, whether in the stadium or the arena or at the swimming pool or on the racetrack or the golf course or the rifle range or wherever else it might be taking place. 

 

Were there gradients of true – that is, were it possible to somehow intensify a truth to greater truthiness – the truth of athletics as an apex of apolitical accomplishment was never more actualizing than in the alleged minds of those of us who, as sportswriters*, were assigned to cover the action.

 

But now Trump the Tyrannical Tweeter has triggered massive protests by tainting professional sports with the same racist malevolence  that prompted the Nazi-minded white majority to vote him into office. 


As a result, it's legitimate to ask two questions based on concerns that in the USian Homeland were previously unimaginable:


Will the obscenely rich owners of professional sports teams who joined other Capitalists to celebrate the electoral triumph of JesuNazism by donating millions to the Trump/Pence inaugural now do as the German Nazis did  in obedience to Hitler and enforce Trump's demand to purge USian sports of allegedly unpatriotic minorities?  (A later story...
