One of the clear benefits of state capitalism (i.e. government ownership of the nation’s largest for profit enterprises), is that in the event of a financial crisis you can shove a bunch of money into them in a way that isn’t just a massive upwards transfer of wealth.

In 2020, Keynes would absolutely be a Dengist.

What's your explanation for how the dude allowed the KKK to grow and how he leveraged them to advance some of his political goals?

Woodrow Wilson was arguably the first fascist president and presented a model that was later copied by the likes of Mussolini and Hitler. There were other American presidents that also were affiliated with such things, but what made Wilson unique was the shear size of the second KKK. Something like 20 percent of eligible american men were members.

Should the proudboys and related grow into something comparable to that than fascism is a real concern, but fortunately we have a very long way to go to until the right wing is better organized like this. This past summer has showed the left is more organized than otherwise thought.

CA has their weird form of third way social democracy that’s literally just the worst of both worlds. Plays a big role in why utilities and housing costs are messed up. Certain parts of the state have been good for LGBT rights compared to other areas as well.

Progressive doesn’t mean socialist. California is basically just the same as Canada.

This haircut is the haircut of 1980s neocons, it isn’t an exclusive haircut of all psychopathy, but instead this very specific sort of elite breed of psychopathy.

It’s amazing to me that the stuff people post to forums like tumblrinaction are things that actually anget people as much as they do. Like why do people care so much about what some anonymous stranger is saying or going through. I’ll never understand why so many people get their rocks off bullying the posts of young people who obviously just feel alienated.

I’m way more concerned about the fact that healthcare costs are totally out of control and that the cost of housing has risen far faster than the rate of wages.
