Will We Awaken to the Malevolence of 21st Century Nazism?

SANDERS/CLINTON “PROGRESSIVE” CRINGES AT THE GESTAPO-LIKE REALITY of the zero-tolerance USian police state. She is obviously ignorant of – or clinically delusional about – its pre-9/11 Democratic (sic) Party origins. (Note how the linked data obviously validates the suspicion 9/11 was the Reichstag Fire equivalent with which the Ruling Class responded to Congressional  rejection of its earlier effort to suspend what remained of the liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.)

WHY THE GESTAPO TACTICS? IT'S TO DEFEND WHITE SUPREMACY, STUPID – because the Ruling Class recognizes any challenge to racism is a challenge to Capitalism and therefore a challenge to USian hegemony. That's why our overlords demand anti-racism be oppressed by every means possible. That's also why historian Paul Street's “Lesson on Slavery for White America” is the answer to Melissa Byrne's whine about Gestapo tactics. In addition, it's  maybe the most important historical exposé you'll ever have a chance to read. It's also why I not only urge you to read it, but excerpt from it here:

[T]he present and future so-called 'free market' is very much about what and how much [the capitalists] bring to that market from the past...Even if U.S. capitalism was being conducted without racial discrimination...and it is not (see my own discussion here—there would still be the question of all the poker chips that white America (superrich, white capitalist America, in particular) has stacked up on its side of the table...It is long past time for a monumental payback—paid out of giant taxes on the absurdly rich top tenth of the very predominantly white U.S. 1 percent, which owns as much wealth as the bottom U.S. 90 percent...We shouldn’t charge lower- and working-class whites a penny for the sins of slavery. American racial oppression...(see Edmund Morgan’s classic 1976 study “American Slavery, American Freedom ”)...has undermined working-class and poor whites’ willingness and ability to join with blacks and other nonwhites...to wrest a durably decent living and a democratic society from the wealthy few...[U.S.] racism [is] so doggedly persistent that the mild phrase “black lives matter” is somehow controversial more than half a century after the passage of the Civil Rights Act...

TRUMP, OBAMA EQUALLY FASCIST, BUT COVERAGE HIDES THE TRUTH. Eric Zuesse of Global Research shows us how the Capitalist propaganda machine covered up Obama's fascism as deftly as it exposes Trump's fascism.  With this and this  as additional corroboration.

REMOVING RACIST STATUARY IS THUS NO MORE THAN PICKING A SCAB from a cancerous lesion and calling it cured.

AND BANNON'S DEPARTURE FOSTERS YET ANOTHER DELUSION even if it is not another characteristic act of deception maliciously perpetrated by the Trump-Pence Regime.

BUT WHICH IS THE MOST POLITICALLY EFFECTIVE BIG LIE? Will the JesuNazis succeed...

Racism and Resistance: Humans vs. JesuNazis, Boston vs. Charlottesville, a Five-Day Anthology of Reports and Analyses

40,000 BOSTONIANS MUSTER ON THE COMMON to emphatically say no to Nazism. The Boston turnout was part of a nation-wide anti-Christonazi mobilization (but given the immunity of Nazism to pacifist opposition, how effective will it actually be)?

THE NAZIS' MORAL IMBECILITY WAS ALREADY OBVIOUS. The Trump-Pence Regime was warned three months ago of looming Christonazi violence. But then Trump's lawyer voluntarily endorsed the president's racism.  And – murderously anticipating Charlottesville – the Republicans were already pushing legislation to weaponize vehicles and thereby legalize Christonazi vehicular assaults against humanitarians.Though some Republicans still vainly try to disassociate themselves from the ongoing carnage.  (Thanks to AJM for sending me the last of these four links.)

WHAT IS RACISM AND CAN IT BE CURED? Robert Parry says racism is blindness. But I who spent many boyhood years living amongst racists in the South say it's a cancerous form of religion and ideology hybridized to incurable hatefulness – the very hatefulness that is now metastasizing throughout the nation.

NAZISM – AND WHITE SUPREMACY IN GENERAL, IS ALWAYS VECTORED by the Capitalists' inconceivable [and inconceivably toxic] wealth

Can USian Whites Be Shamed into Suppressing the Fascists?

ACLU CAN'T DISTINGUISH LYNCH MOBS FROM PEACEABLE ASSEMBLIES: There's no question about the willingness of the minority population and even some Working Class whites to take the necessary ameliorative action against the fascists – “fascists” used here in its broadest sense, to include the JesuNazis and all the other violent reactionaries the Trump-Pence Regime is elevating to national legitimacy. But the majority of apparently non-fascist whites, especially those of the professional and managerial castes, seem too cowardly – or too clandestinely compliant – to do more than hide behind First Amendment rhetoric that refuses to distinguish between peaceable assemblies and lynch mobs, thereby enabling the lynch mob  that tried to beat an African-American man to death and murdered Heather Heyer, whose memorial service was held in Charlottesville, Virginia Tuesday night. (With thanks to Tigerlille for the “Cops refused to protect synagogue” link.)

CITIZENS UNITED DEFENDER ACLU FOUGHT TO ENABLE NAZI VIOLENCE: The great paradox of democratic process is its inherent self-destructiveness. And nothing illustrates that paradox more vividly than the American Civil Liberties Union, which fights to destroy the democratic process in the name of defending it, whether as amicus curiae in the Citizens United case or defender of the Nazis' right to march (and murder) in Charlottesville.

EXTRA: More Coverage of the Battle of Charlottesville

TRUTHDIG SCOOPS THE WORLD ON PHOTOS OF THE NAZIS RUNNING AMOK in Charlottesville, Virginia. Thanks to the courage and skill of New York Photojournalist Michael Nigro, we get a closeup look at the murderous malignancy of the uniquely USian Christonazism spawned by Capitalism in its historically inevitable metamorphosis into fascism.

Nigro's emotionally wrenching pictures include glimpses of the Nazi vehicular assault that crushed 32-year-old Heather Heyer to death.

These images also show us how the (predominantly white) local and state cops encouraged the murder and mayhem by refusing to intervene against the Nazis, thus revealing the fascist sympathies that infect far too many of the nation's federally militarized police.

But most importantly, what these photographs show us is the vision of USian terrorism than until now was mostly witnessed only by people of African-American, Hispanic or First Nations origins. What we see in so many of these frames is the true face of our species' most deadly enemies, the white-supremacist/Christian Identity terrorists whose ideological ancestors ruled the Confederate States of America, then ruled the German Third Reich and now seek to subjugate our own homeland with a high-tech version of their irremediably bigoted despotism.

Let us never forget the bitter truth this new Nazism's sneeringly sadistic perpetrators – every one of them a cancer cell of terminal hatefulness in human disguise – personify the menace...

Battle of Charlottesville Update: At Least 3 Dead, 35 Wounded

CHRISTONAZIS, ZIEG-HEILING TRUMP, WORK THEMSELVES INTO HOLOCAUST MODE. An uncharacteristically honest Mainstream Media report on today's most indicative story, complete with an unusually outspoken Mainstream Media editorial  shows the Ruling Class is beginning to shit its proverbial pants in the face of the civil war its Trump-Pence electing treachery is breeding.

MURDERED WHITE WOMAN WAS PROTESTING NAZIFICATION. I reluctantly link the Yahoo report because it is the one source I could find that includes photographic portraits of the late Heather Heyer and her African-American comrades.

MEANWHILE TOO MUCH OF THE LEFT CLINGS TO SUICIDAL ANTI-GUN IDEOLOGY, ignoring the lessons taught by the Black Panthers, the Deacons for Defense and the many activists who have quietly armed themselves against the definitively murderous Christonazis and fascists in general.

COUNTERPUNCH PUBLISHES 3 VITAL CRITIQUES OF THE USIAN LEFT for not being sufficiently analytical or far enough Left, here,  here  and here. Best quotes are from the second and third URLs respectively. Luciana Bohne: “Fascism has many faces, but the most constant is that of the supremacist delusion that the West is the carrier of “universal values” and that, as exclusive interpreter and custodian of these values, the West is obligated to act as watchdog of democracy and human rights throughout the globe...This is the terrifying message of one nation 'uber alles.'” Rob Urie: “ (N)eoliberalism has long been a subtext of White nationalism. If social outcomes reflect individual capabilities, goes the theory, then group social failures result from aggregated individual failures— from some ‘defect’ that characterizes individuals as members of that group. This is the theoretical basis of ‘scientific racism’” – in other words, why the “super-predator” Clintons are as much white racist swine as any Ku Klux Klanner.

NEW POLL SHOWS REPUBLICANS DEEPLY DESIRE MORE DESPOTISM, no surprise to those of us who acknowledge Capitalism's irresistible momentum toward Christonazism and fascism in general.

A Potpourri of Liberal Treachery, JesuNazi Atrocities, Relevant Book Reviews and Small but Promising Triumphs

WE KNOW IN OUR HEARTS CAPITALISM IS DEATH AND REVOLUTION IS SURVIVAL, and now Fred Magdoff and Chris Williams have written a book entitled Creating an Ecological Society: Toward a Revolutionary Transformation to articulate this emotional truth so many of us feel but for many reasons find it difficult to verbalize. In response, Ron Jacobs has penned one of the most compellingly provocative book reviews  I have ever read anywhere on any subject.

SEPARATELY BUT IN OBVIOUS SYNCHRONICITY WITH MAGDOFF AND WILLIAMS, author Chris Wright cites Peter Kropotkin to argue that the looming apocalypse proves communism is the only true morality. 

PREDICTABLY, WITH SUCH IDEOLOGY BECOMING COMMONPLACE, a smug coterie of corporate and academic aristocrats  are now enough terrified by the prospect of proletarian vengeance, they have launched what is thus far the most breathtakingly deceptive scheme I have yet encountered to co-opt the revolution and thereby perpetuate not just Capitalism but their own medieval authority within it.

To do so, they've followed the Democratic (sic) Party's practice of hybridizing progressive-sounding rhetoric with irredeemably bourgeois conceptualizations of New Age individualism – think “the audacity of hope” and “change we can believe in.” 

Thus, like the Democrats, they deftly conceal their underlying tyrannical intent. But unlike the Democrats, these perpetrators of oppression have refined their messaging to an intellectual and emotional counter-revolutionary toxicity that in its seductiveness may have no counterpart in human history.

Disclosure: as the editor-in-chief of Art Direction magazine c. 1984-1986, I was often called upon to pass judgment on advertising and public relations campaigns – and this campaign is by far the most diabolically effective such effort I have ever encountered. Josef Goebbels would be not just proud but ecstatic. Which is probably why the usually ideologically savvy editors of PopularResistance.org were duped into publishing it.  (Scroll down to the comment thread for absolute proof – in the perpetrators' own words – of their counter-revolutionary intent.)

A SIMILAR ALBEIT LESS SOPHISTICATED COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY DECEPTION is evident in the aristocratic sponsorship of the fight to preserve the small presence of transsexual people in the Imperial war machine.“

Germany Confirms It: Trump "Far Worse Than Expected"

(Longtime readers please note that in many Dispatches updates, links to older material are provided as background. New readers might find these older links useful, possibly even vital, in understanding the significance of the new material.)

***

FROM CIVILIZATION'S PERSPECTIVE, TRUMP'S MALEVOLENT BARBARISM is “far worse than expected.” The linked der Spiegel report confirms, in a generalized sense, much of what I predicted immediately after the Ruling Class oh-so-deftly manipulated the Trump/Pence Regime into the White House.

WHICH ADMITS THE NEED FOR AN ANTI-USIAN INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE: though the der Spiegel report does not say it outright, it implicitly raises the prospect of an all-Europe, eventually global alliance of civilized peoples and nations to fight against the JesuNazi savagery that now threatens not only the survival of our species, but the survival of Earth as anything more than a bug planet. Such an alliance would most assuredly provide one of the four prerequisites to successful revolution –  that is, the support of a major foreign power (scroll down to “History shows us...”). But not so fast with the false hopes: can anything stop the JesuNazis' scheme to nuke the whole world – which they believe is necessary  to bring their Sadomasochistic Savior and Messiah of Malignancy back to Earth?

TEACHABLE MOMENTS WITHIN THE TRUMP-PENCE TYRANNIES: the one most important lesson being hammered into our (allegedly) conscious minds by the Trump/Pence Regime – not just by its own unapologetic tyranny, but by the breathtaking betrayal increasingly evident in how the Democratic (sic) Party's ever-more-obvious Big Lie of opposition  put the JesuNazis in the White House – is that We the People no longer have any friends at all amongst those who govern on behalf of Capitalism. Just as – precisely because our Capitalist overlords no longer hide the fact they consider us the enemy – so must We the People learn to consider all Capitalist governance the enemy. Indeed our survival depends on it. The sooner we recognize the ugly truth that one-party Capitalist despotism lurks behind the Big Lie of the USian two-party system, the sooner we will be able to replace it with real (i.e., socialist) democracy.

BUT EVEN THOSE WHO KNOW BETTER CLING DESPERATELY, and often with compelling eloquence,  to the Big Lie of USia as the land of “liberty and justice for all.” Such fools hold to the ludicrous notion...
