See? That is part of it all. From ''when'' I come, left, as defined by the right WAS economic principle. It was always that the liberals are being guided and under the influence of Communists to become anti-capitalists. Hence every little thing that came along that effected the stability of the 1950's economic balance was labeled liberal, one step towards the Communist overthrow of the capitalist system. I exaggerate there of course but you get what I mean I hope.

Meanwhile the mighty capitalist machine continued to create more and more types of ''product'' to sell to the American public and peoples across the world. This was consistently heralded as a victory for capitalism as the worlds money flowed into the products that were developed in the west. And it continued to advance.

Meanwhile, real communists, real socialists and anti-capitalists could see that it was not communism or socialism that spurred this great expansion of product, rather it was the inventiveness of inventors and entrepreneurs looking to fulfill their own American dream from within the system of capitalism.

From this conundrum of capitalism and socialism sprung ''neo-liberalism. This neo-liberalism took the stance that in order to expand capitalism, new social policies were needed to expand the consumer base. Social standards needed to be expanded and in many cases ''lowered'' in order to create this consumer base. Feeding a populations ''needs'' was one thing, but feeding a populations ''want's '' was far more lucrative. Hence, ''wants'' were turned into ''needs'' by the propaganda arm of the capitalist system calling itself the advertising industry.

Find and or develop a ''market for black people'' and the system makes more money. Find or develop ''gay people'' and the system makes more money. ETC Find and deliver product to all those sexually repressed men, give them porn, and the system makes more money. It's all capitalism.

What I find hard to fathom is that on the one hand ''liberalism'' as you correctly define it above is decried while at the same time the very system that has created it is not...That is unless we suppose an old conspiracy at work. That conspiracy is how the corporations that run the capitalist system have misdirected the angst against them and directed it at the dirty Commies. It's the commies and socialists in Washington's fault rather than a simple by-product of the capitalist system.

And to your second point, well, yep, I see this as well. Right now that trend towards fascism is real. It should scare the crap out of all of us. But unlike many here, I do not see it as just a Democrat drive, not just the commie pinkos who are driving it. I see it as the entire system is gearing up in that direction. Has been gearing up for decades. Dems or Reps, both will get us there sooner or later unless we can recognize how we all have been played. This dream that Biden will save us is goofy, just as goofy as believing that Trump will save us. Neither will.

I see that as well, eating their own. I saw today that Graham called Trump's statement about pardoning the jailed from Jan 6th, ''inappropriate'' . And almost immediately Trump came back with scathing remarks about Graham calling him the hated pejorative ''RINO'' among other things. Seems that the Dems eat each other when they step out of line but on the other side it's Trump who gobbles up those who step out of line.

Another one bites the dust, and another one and another one, they all bite the dust.

It seems liberals are always caught with their pants down these days, karma, you hear me is karma, always comes back to bite you.

The two seemingly opposed positions being stated, example Fox good guys, CNN bad guys vrs Cnn good guys, Fox bad guys, can be studied in unison to find the synthesis or higher truth that both to some common degree are what they claim the other to be. From this we may arrive at a ''higher truth'' that mass media is highly propagandist and not to be trusted on an existential level at all. On an existential level, I find it hard to even trust myself.

Hopefully the artificial separation of the peoples is ameliorating into something beyond the illusionary 2-party system.

I have more in common with Glenn Greenwald, Joe Rogan, Russell Brand than I do with either "party." We all do.

I think you have more in common with some of the truth-speakers/seekers associated with the "right" than you previously thought.

There is still a need and room for discussions on the narratives they use to divide us, but with the propagandists out of the way I bet our discussions would be more fruitful than many might imagine.

However, we have MUCH bigger problems than those at the moment and the trick is, for them, that we not figure that out.

At last...a "consensual" relationship at CNN.

I'm sure the teenagers the rest of the staff were using "consented" as well.

Careful, you're basing the definition of "Capitalism" on the Marx Definitions.

Not so strange actually.

NAZI /Engish translation/ National Socialist Workers Party.

Nazis were Socialists. Then under Hitler they evolved to total fascists and totalitarians. The evolution is totally normal for extreme Socialists. The only real difference is that Fascism is honest about their intentions.

While this is a quick summation of that time, and to a degree a simple understanding it can be suggested that the real situation goes a bit deeper than this.

It's my understanding that there were numerous ''socialist groupings thoughout Europe at that time going back for a decade or so. Workers uniting into unions to increase their ability to achieve better pay and working conditions. Right or wrong, they never amounted to much in the way of political power.

Then in Russia the revolution claiming to be a socialist upheaval of the power struggle against monarchism in 1917. This gave more interest in ''socialism'' across Europe for the working class.

1921, enter Hitler

In 1919 a Munich locksmith named Anton Drexler founded the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP; German Workers’ Party). Political parties were still a relatively new phenomenon in Germany, and the DAP—renamed the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP; National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or Nazi Party) in 1920—was one of several fringe players vying for influence in the early years of the Weimar Republic. It is entirely possible that the Nazis would have remained a regional party, struggling to gain recognition outside Bavaria, had it not been for the efforts of Adolf Hitler. Hitler joined the party shortly after its creation, and by July 1921 he had achieved nearly total control of the Nazi political and paramilitary apparatus.

www.britannica.com...

to say that Hitler understood the value of language would be an enormous understatement. Propaganda played a significant role in his rise to power. To that end, he paid lip service to the tenets suggested by a name like National Socialist German Workers’ Party, but his primary—indeed, sole—focus was on achieving power whatever the cost and advancing his racist, anti-Semitic agenda. After the failure of the Beer Hall Putsch, in November 1923, Hitler became convinced that he needed to utilize the teetering democratic structures of the Weimar government to attain his goals.

So, rather than the NAZI being extreme socialists as you suggest, they were really just a bunch of workers looking for a better life. Hitler played them for fools and lead them into his own right wing party by riding on the coat tails of the down trodden European workers.

Actually the term NAZI had been a derogatory term used to describe lowly peasants

Originally, the term was used in Germany before the rise of NSDAP as a colloquial and derogatory word referring to an awkward, backward, and clumsy peasant. It would go on to be used as a mockery of the name Ignatz—a German variation of Ignatius.

www.warhistoryonline.com...

From this it's not hard to understand that the people who ended up backing and supporting Hitler and his gang of thugs were not revolutionary socialists, but simple riled up members of the working class.

More then, they did not simple evolve, rather they were manipulated by nationalistic propaganda and hatred for others by HItler and his stooges. Add to this also being similar to what had gone on in Italy with Mussolini where the term fascist came from. Mussolini had been a union leader, developing a strong following among unionized workers. He was the editor for a socialist magazine to help with that drive to power. When his power was enough to do so, organized a march on Rome and forced the king to yield the government. Three years later, he consolidated his power and became Il Duce .

It's sounding like we're gonna need more popcorn -

Beautiful beautiful meme.... So much truth and information in a single photo. I'm sure someone will add the names under each one, so as that circulates, people can look up and see what offenses each committed.

I am amazed AT& T held on to CNN for this long. And they still have not shown signs of spinning off this cancer.

Maybe the executives and CEO at AT&T are up to their neck also?

This dude didn't resign just for an affair, Its something deeper as in child trafficking or worse. I just blew in my satanic neighbor today. Within 2 hours the police called and showed up but the neighbors didn't answer the door.

So 3 1/2 years of hell as a result of a high rank State Government official.

My next step on the other saucy issues is the Feds.

Lock em up. Husband, wife and both kids as they are all in on it.

Yes is nothing new about having relationships with other person, but not when this goes for years, he have the object of interest move into his own building with her husband while he himself was still marry also.
