I grew up under a true totalitarian regime, accepted to be as such in America. I see a strong similarity in Amerika today.
I find it amazing... this the exact same subject as earlier, only here making Santayana's quote relevant... in the political sphere.
In the U.S. today... we see the brownshirts in the farce of ANTIFA... imposing fascism by opposing it...
The "no difference between the two parties"... long a political trope... is in the process of being disrupted.
Just as the event of failure in 2008 has not yet been rectified in an actual correction, rather than mere price adjustments that now somewhat discount the fraud that has been allowed to metastasize...
So, too, in politics, the events of change have been slow to manifest in changed direction...
On the left, the opportunity was squandered in the ridiculousness of "Occupy Wall Street"... including the failures in candidates incapable of offering more than a clownish alternative.
On the right, the circle was squared in the Tea Party movement... which has largely succeeded... at least in ensuring there is a difference, if not yet wholly between the parties, at least within one of the two parties... with that mattering in a way that has impact. Republicans are split between the Tea Party / Freedom Caucus... and "RINO's"... who are the legacy in "deep state" fascist brand socialists... who advocate for and advance socialism by opposing it in name only...
On the left, the shared statist impluse is dispersed between competing views, with very little risk to the established fascist "mainstream" supporting big corporations and Wall Street's socialist bankers... and that feeble opposition that does exist is diluted by focus on the "divide and conquer" tactics employed in advocating separately for all of the various isms... racism, sexism, etc., all used to lie about reality and deflect from policy that actually matters MOST... in its imposition of a divergence from what people want in fact...
The trend... is intact. "Globalism" is on the ropes... so we're not going to see any surrender of control to some unelected "majority" composed of corporate overlords or a structure of international agreements that haven't been agreed... Trump is one expression of that. He's not the leader of the movement... rather than the only politician in the ring... who was capable of seeing the parade... and leaping out in front of it..
The issue is no where more telling... than in relation to China... where American's have been sold (by the globalist uniparty) on the idea that we're all better off for enabling China to make the transition from being an economic basket case under communism... to being a Fourth Reich under national socialism...
It's looking more and more like Hiitler won... if not the war... the contest of ideas.
And most people are too blind to see it...
