7 postal workers charged in RI mail theft ring

Decaying American capitalism is breeding lawless corruption on all fronts. Far more than even Karl Marx realized back in 1848 capitalism is not just creating its own gravediggers ; decaying capitalism in our times is breeding a vast lumpen proletariat class along with vast class of hopelessly degenerate criminal types and enterprising swindlers. While LEGITIMATE capitalist enterprise is becoming more and more reckless of public safety and health. Extreme social rot is NOT the soil for SOCIALISM. More likely it will soon breed a FASCIST reaction . The present time in " OUR democracy " has an eerie resemblance to the last days of the German Weimar Republic. NOTE : Should I or should I not pay that medical bill through the post office ?

Personality Cult Leader of the Socialist Workers Party Jack Barnes ruined the SWP years ago

· I agree with the headline in " The Militant " . But : [ "Defend Israel’s right to exist as haven for Jews! Condemn Jew-hating pogrom! Call for cease-fire is support for Hamas " ] [ " The record of the 'Militant' and the Socialist Workers Party "] Yes , the record of the Socialist Workers Party : from Anti-Zionist orthodox Trotskyism to slobbering over Zionist APARTHEID Israel under the leadership of now very old crackpot personality cult leader Jack Barnes. He RUINED the once highly respectable ON THE LEFT SWP. ‘Workers need our own party to fight to take political power’ – The Militant THEMILITANT.COM ‘Workers need our own party to fight to take political power’ – The Militant By Laura Anderson Vol. 88/No. 20 May 20, 2024 Militant/Mary MartinRachele Fruit, right, Socialist Workers Party candidate for U.S. president, campaigns at Little Haiti Book Festival in Miami May 5.

‘Unflappable’: Michael Cohen appears unfazed by Todd Blanche’s cross-exa...

There is a profound crisis of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM in the United States . And an ideological BRAWL ( sometimes physical as on the Jan.6 " day of infamy " ) within the American ruling class. As a long time independent democratic socialist I see the farcical Trump Sex Trash Trial as more the PERSECUTION than the PROSECUTION of former president, Donald Trump. Indeed, it confirms the traditional Marxist-Leninist view of THE LAW and of THE STATE. The destiny of the world will not be decided by Trump vs. Biden in the 2024 presidential election ! WE THE PEOPLE need an American Labor Party - a lot like the British Labor Party but less stuffy and compromised. That will make PEACEFUL social change possible . The choice is between HELL on Earth or Socialism .

Taboo criticism?

In local Talk Radio it is taboo to link any social problems to CAPITALISM? To a systemic crisis?
