All That Was Old Is New Again 0

Dick Polman skewers Donald Trump’s “red scare” tactics, in which anyone to the left of the far right is getting tagged a “socialist.”

Indeed, the fright-wing freakout about “socialism” likely has little salience in our current era; the Trump-GOP plutocracy has widened the gap between the rich and everyone else and has done nothing for the anxious middle class. Trump at this point is arguably the worst person to champion capitalism and equate it with freedom.

Aside:

I suspect that Donald Trump has no idea what “socialism” is other than a great bogey word.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
