Who is Killing This Country? Nazi's or the Wealthy and Powerful?

Lets look at some really basic facts. There are Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists and Klansmen still left in America. There are still also communists; but, you know what, they all had or have political parties of their own. The largest non Democrat or Republican party is independents. The membership of the Communist Party (established 1919) is 5,000. The Nationalist Socialist Party shows not one person elected to federal or state leadership or even representation. Their numbers are too low to even count.

Neither Communists nor white supremacists can manage to get elected to any federal or state legislature. Neither the Democrats nor Republicans have racist or supremacist policies on their party platforms and haven't for a very long time. The media is focusing on groups that have zero political influence and couldn't get someone elected if they had to. They smeared Bernie Sanders as a Communist and Donald Trump as a Nazi.

I'm retired; but, I remember when Democrats in the southern states passed laws called Jim Crowe laws. I lived when that was going on, I remember when blacks were not allowed in certain restaurants and people were not allowed to sell their houses to blacks. I had a relative, a New England Democrat who told me that he thought the blacks were getting too uppity and he worked on getting Democrats to support Kennedy for President in Massachusetts. Declared Neo-Nazis and Klansmen couldn't get elected dog catcher. If there was a Neo-Nazi mayor the media would be all around it. Think about that.

Please show me ONE congressman currently in office who has openly stated that they support the Klan, the Nazi party or the communists. Wait, you might be able to find one that supported communism; but, it wasn't Bernie Sanders. There are more Libertarian Party and Green Party members than Nazis, Klansmen and Communist Party members combined.

Why is the corporate media telling you these groups are growing when they are not? Why are they saying that they saying these people present a clear and present danger requiring the elimination of the first amendment right to free speech when there is not. More people attend Furry conventions (people who like to dress up as small woodland creatures and have sex) than attend Nazicon if there even is such a thing. There are more Wiccans than there are Neo Nazis. There are more Satanists than there are Klansmen and to tell the truth, the Satanists are less reviled.

There are 85 people that own as much as the lower half 3.5 Billion of people in this world. Please, tell me which of them are Nazis supporting the Nazi party or the Klan. Those 85 people see the rest of us as scum regardless of what we believe in. You know what you have to fear? What you need to fear is what those 85 people think and thy think that you should be muzzled and that Democracy is evil.

Did you know that most of the Confederate soldiers that fought in the south never owned a slave in their lives? Rich men owned slaves, not the poor. The civil war was not fought over slavery, it was fought over economic independence. It was fought over which wealthy group would rule America. It was a fight over farming versus the industrial revolution.

We like to think that it was a war over slavery and that the north was against it; but, even Lincoln did not go into that war planning on freeing the slaves. You can look that up and comment. Remember when the billionaire said that they thought the wealthy were being treated like the Jews in Germany? No, here is a link.

The traditional enemy of the communists was the wealthy, now it is 3,000 to 8,000 Klansmen. What useful idiots Antifa have become. Communist, Socialist and Progressive agendas were always focused on economic issues and now the Neo-Communists and Neo-Socialists and Neo-Progressives seem to be focused on social issues. At least according to the corporate media.

Lets see. The Occupy Movement comes along to go after income inequality and is violently put down and removed from public spaces and later the media refocuses their attention to social issues, like how many Nazi's does it take to screw in a light bulb. The Occupy Movement came about in 2007 and the Democratic party has sought to direct all their attention to the threat of far right national supremacist wack jobs. There is just one problem, most people on the left get this and the progressives certainly do.

How effective has this been? Well not one of the corporate Democrats has one a seat since Trump got elected. They have lost control of national and state offices. Most amusingly they are failing to get any donations. The Republican party has raised $85 million for the coming elections and the Democrats have raised about $35 million.

Back 60 years ago the Democratic Party was the southern bigots. It was southern Democrats that made the Jim Crow laws and enforced segregation. Parties change; but, money doesn't. The one thing the Democratic party will not let go of is it's political donors. Corporate Democrats offer transgender bathrooms in exchange for open borders. Corporate Democrats offer gay marriage in exchange for NAFTA and the TPP. They offer fascism (corporate control over the government) in exchange for protecting you from Nazis.

Point of note, the guy who said that the wealthy were being treated like the Jews in Germany (the Young Turks video in the link above) contributed to Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign and also said that the wealthy's votes should count more than the poor or working class. There are more gays in the United States than Neo-Nazis and Klansmen combined. There are more millionaires in the United States than there are Neo-Nazi's, White Supremacists and Klansmen combined. Here lets simplify even more. How many millionaires and billionaires attended the right wing rally in Charlottesville in support of the far right? That would probably be zero.

It is estimated that there are 10.4 million millionaires in the United States and perhaps 200,000 white supremacists of all types. Which group do you think controls the corporations and government? Yeah, it's pretty obvious.
