If you don’t know this story, you’ll never look at the word the same again.

This is just a window into the sometimes shocking, subversive and untold history of the United States, from the film Plutocracy by Scott Noble.

Sometimes learning just a little history is good to refresh the society’s memory of how we got to where we are. Sometimes we really need the Second Amendment.

Richard Medhurst has the video Are You Criticising the West, You Commie? | Red Scare 3.0

Some people have been so scared by the ridiculous propaganda that they can’t think straight anymore.

One thing I recognized when the Soviet Union collapsed was that the threat of communism had been so scary to the oligarchs that it forced them to treat their workers better than they wanted to. Once the threat of communism was gone, the oligarchs could treat workers as badly as they could get way with. It made no difference if communism worked or not, it was the fear that workers would like it that kept western oligarchs in check.

Once west’s workers start to understand the mixed economies of China and now Russia, they will realize how badly they are being treated. This is why the oligarchs in the west feel that they need to restart the red scare.

Once Hillary Clinton realized that her invention of Russiagate could serve two purpose, she charged full speed ahead. One purpose was to absolve her of any possible blame for running a disastrous campaign for President in 2016. The other purpose was to justify her neoliberal philosophy of suppressing the workers, some of whom she called “the deplorables”.
