I wanted to introduce myself to you all with a piece I wrote yesterday.
"A brief look at modern class warfare."
Class warfare has been part of history through out time but has intensified here in America the last 30 years. The bourgeois have been on a relentless war to bring the proletariat down to the level of a third world country. Let’s take a look at the steps they have taken to achieve this goal.
Open trade with Maoist China thanks to Nixon and Kissinger. The introduction of Chicago School of Economic Theory via Milton Friedman. In Europe it was called neoliberalism while in America we call it Reaganomics. It is the trickle down theory championed by Reagan and Bush Sr. where you deregulate trade and give massive tax cuts to the rich. At this same time Reagan declared war on unions. The trickle down theory proposed that if the rich got even richer, the wealth would overflow down to the middle class and working poor. In fact it just made the bourgeois even richer and created more wealth inequality that had not been seen in this country since before the great Depression. Another agreement that was supposed to benefit the masses was NAFTA signed into law by Clinton. It too only benefitted the bourgeois. Another disastrous bill was the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which repealed the Glass-Steagall Act. Glass-Steagall was just one of the restrictions set up by FDR’s New Deal to protect the entire country from the out of control Wall Street vampires.
The 2000’s ushered in the neocons backed by think tanks like the Project for the New American Century. The Bush and Cheney era saw unprecedented deregulation for Wall Street. These deregulations did not help the entire country, but made a very few extremely wealthy. The Great Collapse of 2008 was no accident. Wall Street understood very well it would run the economy into the ground with their risky gambling. Once the market crashed firms like Goldmon-Sachs, AIG and Citigroup took the country hostage and said if they were not bailed out there would be Marshall Law in the streets of the United States. After they were bailed out the Dodd-Frank Act was put into place so we would never have a bailout of a “Too Big To Fail” bank or corporation. President Obama just passed the bill that will repeal the Dodd-Frank Act, it also goes after ERISA which protects the pensions earned by the proletariat.
The ultimate goal of the bourgeois is to destroy the middle class and unions, take our social security and pensions, and create a New America which would resemble a third world country: Where there is only the ultra rich top 1% and the ultra poor 99%. This is class warfare. It is very real. And it is happening now. The only way to combat this tyranny is solidarity of the proletariat. Which side are you on?
In solidarity with the workers of the world.
