So about this “class warfare” bullshit

[Cyrano]

Limbaugh and many other wingnuts love to tell us that complaining about economic injustice is “class warfare.”

They have made the case that we “socialists” are doing our best to bring down the “free market” through “class warfare.”

There are two lies in that last sentence. (1) There is no longer a “free market” in America. (2) “Class warfare” is in full swing, but we’re not the ones engaging in it.

Whatever free market existed in America from the ‘40s through the ‘70s, began to disappear the day that St. Ronnie became president. And ever since then, the super rich have been waging class warfare against all the rest of us. It’s why most of us are broke, or close to it, and the top two or three percent become richer every day.

This should all be apparent to anyone who breaths air. But far too many buy the wingnut line of crap. And the damned thing is, there doesn’t seem to be much we can do about it. We thought that “elections have consequences,” but we’re still getting screwed every single day of our lives. And our response to getting screwed is …?

So does anyone have any suggestions about how we can fight back against the class warfare being waged against us? And is destroying us?

1. Cyrano, you are correct!

What can be done to change the economic inequalities that 95% of Americans are suffering from? It is a hard and tough question to answer.
I think that nothing will change as long as money rules politics in this nation. The downward spiral will continue until every last dollar has been sucked from the working class.
My personal fucked up theory is that when an adult is starving and his children are not, apathy runs deep in the collective conscious of the effected masses. When the children start dying because there is no food for them, then we have a choice to make. We can die on our collective knees begging or we can stand on our feet fighting, either way we are dead. However, should we win a real combat type war, then we can proudly call ourselves "French" and have the best health care in the world, job security, vacations, and wine. Oh, how I look forward to revolutionary wine! So sweet!

2. Socialism for the rich, survival of the fittest for the rest of us. n/t k*r

3. Socialist means anti-aristocracy, the inheritor class.

They want to keep their private family money position protected.

They look down upon what is earned by work instead of earned by birthright.

People who earn by work are awakening. Even Bill Gates and Warren Buffet begin to realize that they themselves will be derailed if the aristocrats so wish someday. Gates and Buffet earn by work and are therefore a danger to the inheritor class' retention of power.

This inheritor class knows that on a level playing field they are not bright enough to maintain power. So, they buy the think tanks, buy the rhetoric, buy the politicians to claim things they don't do and do things that maintain more iron fisted control by the few.

Thus, Republicans claim to be for competition, but they are payed to support monopolies. They claim to anti-socialistic, yet they socialize us around bank failures. They claim single-payer health care will be bad for us when every country with it, loves it and hates what we have, and the media is payed for its rhetoric and sometimes bald faced lies. Churches are swayed by large donations with concerted media attacks.

How to fight?

Expose, to begin.

Truer words never spoken.
