The people screaming for a “popular front” are liberals. History tells us what happens w/ these coalitions.
We need a “united front” of #communists, #anarchists, #marxists #leninists, #abolitionists, #antifascists, etc. #Libs are excluded
Don’t rely on people who will be peacefully clapping as we get taken out by the state
An actual opposition party would be all over TV for the next 10 days reminding people of this #tariff bullshit, letting people know that #Congress has the power to end this, & getting to work on doing just that. Instead all that exists is the #DemocraticParty so none of this will happen.
Keep imposing those #tariffs, laying bare the cruelty & inhumanity inherent to the system, & dismantling #US #softpower #institutions on grounds of "being too #woke" for your liking Donnie boy. You're inadvertently aiding the cause." ~ Fellow Traveler.

Truth be told, I just think this is part of a larger effort by #Trump & his buddies to cynically manipulate & #exploit #markets by arbitrarily rendering them volatile, as #capitalism continues to eat itself in real time.
As though the " #freemarket" will automatically fix it, no additional state planning or involvement needed, & this won't just result in massive self-sabotaging for the #UnitedStates by imposing arbitrary #taxes on imported #consumer goods (as well as dive #bombing international relations).
Not only is he imposing these stupid #tariffs upon countries which we import loads of goods from he has also destroyed what little #infrastructure planning that #Biden has planned which could have been used as a means to compensate by building some semblance of #selfsufficient #industry back at home.
I knew Trump would be terrible for #UShegemony & legitimacy in the long haul, but he's so much worse for it than anything I could ever have imagined.
They tell you the #Soviets raped & pillaged their way to #Berlin to distract you from the fact that it was the #communists who did most of the fighting—& dying—to defeat fascism in #Europe.
Interesting how they never mention the #Nazis burning down whole villages.
In other words, the US is more dependent on Souther #labour, #resources & #production than the #prices of those #imports (relative to US #GDP) would make it seem.
One thing the US govt does not seem to understand is that its #imports from the #globalSouth are underpriced, which means that the impact of losing them is greater, to end users, than their #dollar value suggests.
Oh cool, so kinda like that thing #IBM did for #Germany to carry out the #Holocaust?
Any “movement” that leads #protest back to the #DemocraticParty is, by definition, dangerous. Criticism of Donald Trump cannot be a defining feature of change.
Just like the #rightwing nutjobs have their crazy #conspiracytheories, so do fucking liberals. Problem is, #liberal conspiracy theories are taken seriously by #MSM so liberals think they're oh so smart for believing them.
Too many #liberal-brained types think that the problem is that we spend too much on the #military. It's the fact that a #capitalist military should not exist. If it's an armed party of #workers you want it to be a large military.
#Tariffs origin mystery solved: Trump's adviser, #PeterNavarro, is just really, really stupid.
A quick reminder that the main reason the public adopted the idea of " #pornography addiction" is because a #Christian child #rapist got caught & needed something to blame.
It is not based in science. It is not recognized by medical groups. It's #Church #dogma.
