IN yesterday's posts a word got deleted in editing that was rather important, I've put it in capitals and in blue here.
There is absolutely no reason to suspect that if Americans who are other than egalitarian democrats would succeed, it would NOT be fascists, white supremacists, the ones who have actually ruled in many states, in regions and, in the past, actually wrote the foundational documents and governed up to and even after the Civil War.
That the United States has ever been in any real danger from Marxism is a superstitious fear that the fascists are reviving, perhaps under the influence of the meat-headed (literally now) pudding-head Jordan Peterson who proves how hungry for stupidity the man-boy hate association that is the internet right is. That the United States has any danger of becoming Marxist is about as great a danger than it universally becoming saturated with a knowledge of advanced math. The rump of American and European Marxists, such as exist in only the artificial hot house atmospheres of universities and the scribbling industry, are no danger to anyone except the real left who get tarred by wrongheaded association. Marxism has even been given up by the Communists except as a cover story. I doubt you'd find a single real Marxist in any of the dwindling number of allegedly Marxist governments. They're too busy implementing Victorian capitalism on steroids and making jillions for themselves off of it. The Putin model that Trump wants to emulate.
No, the danger to egalitarian democracy in the United States is, now, as it has been since before the Revolution from white supremacist, anti-egalitarian oligarchs and those members of the under classes who are turned on by patriarchal racism. They govern a majority of American states, they win elections often with the help of idiots, Green or otherwise, who hold stupidly romantic and anachronistic affection for the sterile absurdity of American Marxism, as endlessly romanticized in Hollywood and the small magazines of that secular, materialist left.
Materialism in its elite form, such as Marxism, such as much of anarchism, is really not different from the vulgar materialism of America's indigenous form of fascism. Not a little of that vulgar materialism saturates what is dishonestly called "Christianity" which I am reminded of whenever I look at a picture of the odious Raymond Cardinal Burke in one of his more gaudy liturgical costumes or read about this or that protestant hallelujah peddlers buying a jet for themselves with Covid relief money given to them by Mnuchin.
Liberals and people on the left who think we owe it to the fascists to let them lie with impunity lest they not be allowed to peddle their own brand of malarkey are idiots who are the fascists' best friends.
Canadians, your hate-speech ban is a great protector of equality and democracy, and so legitimate freedom. Don't let the Staters gull you into giving it up through your own Supreme Court.
