I'm not going to engage in a back and forth with you on this. As a rule I don't debate fascists or their sympathisers. I am making an exception this one time because you are an old friend and because I am seriously starting to question your mental stability.
So this is my last post on this. I don't usually post on here, I have better things to do and you will only reply with some wall of print brain vomit rant that barely engages with anything I wrote.
But I do have a question.
You voted for Sanders, which means you saw there was a left alternative to Clinton, then Sanders got betrayed so you switched your allegiance to a far right white supremacist. What about policy? What about values. Sanders represented the polar opposite to Trump in both policy and values. Do those policies not matter to you?
Sanders campaigned for single payer universal health care. Trumps first act was to tear up the limited gains of Obamacare leaving millions without health care. Do you no longer care about social service provision for working people and the poor? In the UK the NHS was one of the greatest gains of the Labour movement and 48 Labour government. It represented and still represents a huge victory for working people. Free health care, no questions asked at the point of use funded by progressive taxation. Does this no long interest you? If not why vote for Sanders?
Sanders supported fee free tuition. Again pigs will fly before Trump sees such progressive provision.
Sanders supported progressive taxation of the wealthy and understood that the primary division in society is class inequality. Trump handed tax cuts to the rich (and to himself) How do you logically justify switching your allegiance from a democratic socialist who wanted to fund social provision from taxing the wealthy to a multi millionaire who lives in a gold tower and who is using the presidency to enrich himself and his family? Where is the consistency or logic in that?
You are right. I am a Marxist and it is because I am a Marxist that I understand the primary division of society and the primary conflict driving history is class. Because you do not grasp this fundamental principle, you are like a fish trapped in roaring waters, lost and battered by the currents and with no basis on which to anchor your principles. Because you fail to understand that class and class conflict is what separates the interests of ordinary working people from the likes of Trump, you see no issue with changing your allegiance from someone who calls for extended social provision for working people and someone who wants to take it away to fund tax breaks for his wealth friends while scapegoating religious minorities and migrants for the country's woes.
This is the last post I will be making on this or any other topic. Its boring, its pointless and I have better things to do. I wish you and your son well in the dystopian hell hole you are so keen on creating
Regards
David
