A letter to the Sanderbots

Dear Sanderbots, stop being so fucking pathetic when actual leftists or black folk/POCs criticize your leader. I’m so tried of you Sanders cult followers not accepting any criticism of your leader.

“He’s a socialist…” FULL STOP. He’s a social democrat. A liberal. Socialism is anti-capitalist, not reforming capitalism. That is what Bernie Sanders is. He wants reform capitalism. We should learn from 150 years that social democracy exists to make the capitalist state more comfortable. I’ve fucking warned y’all about fauxcialist liberals, and Sanders is one of them. He barely has any socialist ideas. All it’s nothing but social programs. They’re fine, but they ain’t socialist because you’re still living under capitalism with these programs intact. They’re essentially just scraps. Yes, socialist countries like Cuba has social programs, but it was already implemented as part of the socialist system, rather than passing out legislation for em. Also, he’s essentially anti-socialist because he opposes Castroism and Chavismo. He called Hugo Chavez a dead communist dictator and supported US intervention in Venezuela. Another thing, he never attacks capitalism, he goes like reforms, reforms, reforms. He ain’t anti-capitalist, he’s an European style social democrat and liberal.

“But he’s going to bring change to America and…” Shut up. All he’s gonna do is bring FDR style reforms to America. Another thing, how can you consider a man radical when he, in all those in years in the Senate, never/barely criticize the leaders running this country? He barely went after Bush with his mess and so with Obama. Before anyone say anything about Iraq, he only opposes it because Bush was doing it. He oked Clinton war crimes and same with Obama. He’s ok with imperialism along its a Democrat. He also was thinking about working with Trump, but idk what happened with that. We need to understand that social democrats only bring partial change. How many social democracies became socialist nations without a revolution? When social democrats took over the Weimar Republic, what happened? They collaborated with the far right militias and destroyed actual socialists, which includes Rosa Luxembourg. They exists to pacify socialists or allow a peaceful transition to capitalism and (at times) fascism.

“He marched with MLK…” Full stop. I’m so tired of that shit. Y’all really wanna push white saviors on us. This happened over 50 fucking years ago. There were people who marched in that march who changed their political perspective and some who moved to the right. His involvement in the march doesn’t earn him any entitlement. Another thing your civil rights leader was the senator of whiter than white Vermont. I wonder how many times he stood for black people in Vermont who’s 1% of the population, but 10% of the prison population. He barely wants to do something about racism, only when it’s convenient for him. Why he’s so easily went after Trump because Trump is the racist one. He doesn’t support reparations for slavery. He never spoke of racism under Obama, Clinton, or even Bush. He opposes open borders and mum about abolishing ICE. Also, how many times he stood for black victims of institutional violence and why he only goes to predominantly white liberal cities and neighborhoods? It makes me wonder. He barely appeals to the underclass, as he’s seen talking to white petty bourgs. “But he got nonwhite voters and supporters and…” So does the Clintons. Bill appealed to white Southerners. These two locked up numerous black people. They stole funds meant for Haiti and made money from it. It doesn’t mean shit.

“He’s not white, he’s Jewish” STFU. He can be both. Jew is an ethnicity, not a monolithic race. You can be of any race and be Jewish. There black Jews, Brown Jews, Yellow Jews, and white passing Jews. Him being a Jew, doesn’t limit his whiteness. He benefits from whiteness regardless. He’ll never face the marginalization of nonwhite Jews. Before anyone says anything, go to Israel and see how they’re treated, especially Black Jews. Making people like him the face of Jews, erases nonwhite Jews.

“Do you want x candidate to win?” What fuck is this logic. I ain’t supporting x candidate. I’m not telling you who to vote. Just because I don’t trust Bernie, doesn’t mean the other options are better. All these politicians that ran or running against him like Killary, Trump, Harris, Booker are all fucking trash and don’t deserve support. You think I give a fuck who you support? No. If you gonna support Bernie, go and leave me the fuck alone.

Another thing I wanna add is his cult supporters. They are fucking garbage. They’ll be like social justice and shit, but critique Bernie and they’ll be like the Trump Supporters of the left. For example, when black women went after Bernie after realizing he’s another charlatan, his supporters went after em like a bunch of rabid dogs. When status being shared of Azaelia Banks rightfully critiquing Sanders of only opposing racism when it’s Trump, his supporters got so fucking offended, citing that a black (now formerly) Trump supporter said this. However, her vote was a case of misguidedness and she acknowledged her mistakes, but they wanna go hard on her, but not their Kave Klan Kin who supported Trump and will benefit from him. Some of them even supported Trump when Bernie lost. One thing, Bernie bros fuck off. I don’t support Sanders. Fuck him, and if you gonna be an ass kisser for him, fuck you too. Fuck you, you waste of gentrified hipster avacado toasts.

Here’s the receipts for anyone who disputes this:

If it sounds something like soap is racist, then it’s fake.

A lotta of articles that starts off that is -ist or -phobic are mostly fake news. It’s made to distort actual issues of marginalization and reduce it to being divisive. And it’s done by moderates and rightists. You see this shit media like in Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Breitbart, Prager U, Reason, and HuffPost. But they have differing ways of doing it. Rightists does it just to troll and riled up shit and to show their contempt for these issue. Moderates write articles like that deal with issues and don’t have any material analysis on why this produce oppressive behaviors. It just exists as clickbait. They are so fucking useless. And the people who read their shit are no better. They believe what is put out, even tho is full on fake, but they don’t care because them reading shows their contempt and apathy for these issues.

Also, when the mods and the rights write shit like this, we marginalized folk are to blame, not the people who write this shit. For example, the everybody getting offended by everything and shit getting banned were stirred by those people not us. How marginalized are entitled crybabies, not us, them. The Baby its Cold Outside fiasco, not us, them. There was a sole article on FOX NEWS, how a fucking white horse mascot is racist, and we’re to blame. Ya get it? These people write this shit just to stir up shit. Not only this, they pass of conspiracy theories, which is just as worst. And their cult fanbase believe this shit not because they are dupes, they just want to.

Here’s some quotes for y’all:

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” - Maya Angelou

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” - Malcolm X

Crimes of the US Presidents

CW: mention of sexual abuse, slavery, theft, imperialism, colonialism, war crimes, anti-black/brown/indigenous violence/policies, repression, racism, xenophobia, overthrows, invasions, and police violence.

Hey y’all, I intended to do this list on Presidents Day, but I didn’t. Anyway, I’m going to list every crime that every President did because all Presidents are guilty of crimes. Here’s the list.

1-5) The first five aka The so called founding fathers - Created this nation by enslaving Africans and the theft of Indigenous land. Owned huge number of slaves. Thomas Jefferson owned over 600 slaves, and raped one of them (15 yo Sally Hennings). Some of them supported the colonization of Liberia. They were also horribly capitalist, racist, and sexist.

6) John Quincy Adams - Nothing great about him. Moving on

7) Andrew Jackson - A genodical slave owning fuckface. Responsible for the Trail of Tears, forcing many Native tribes of their land. Got involved in wars that removed Natives from their land, including the Seminole Wars. Owned slaves and supported it.

8. Martin Van Buren - Continued Jackson’s Indian Removal policy and did nothing to stop slavery and owned some slaves.

9) William Henry Harrison - His reign was too damn short. So nothing about him, although he did participate in the Indian Wars before he was president.

10) John Tyler - Theft of Texas from Mexico. Owned slaves and didn’t stop slavery and was okay with it. A forgettable name tho.

11) James K Polk - Continued the theft of Mexico through the Mexican American War. Was a huge slaveowner and supported it and used the territory from Mexico to expand slavery. Asshole.

12) Zachary Taylor - another short run, but was a slaveowner and supported it (the last president to own slaves during his presidency). Also was a General in the Mexican-American War. Nothing great about him. Another forgettable one.

13) Millard Fillmore - Wanted to expand slavery to the new territories stolen from Mexico. Enacted the Fugitive Slave Act that criminalized slaves that escaped from their owners.

14) Franklin Pierce - Continued the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act. Wanted to push slavery in Northern territories via the Kansas–Nebraska Act which also pushed Indigenous land off their territories. This caused a violent conflict between pro and anti slavery forces, preceding the Civil War. He continued the theft of Mexican land and tried to steal Cuba to make a slave state.

15) James Buchanan - Did nothing to stop slavery and defended the Dred Scott case. He also wanted Kansas as a slave state. Another forgettable name.

16) Abraham Lincoln - Now here’s some good stuff. But first, the Civil War was fought over slavery, not over that states rights bullshit. Anyway, the so called Great Emancipator was a far cry from what he is seen as. He never gave a damn about freeing slaves, his actions were plain opportunistic. He said he would preserve the Union without freeing a slave and don’t believe in rights for black people. He also planned to put freed black people on Liberia as an attempt to recolonize em. Another thing, the 13th Amendment never fully abolished slavery as slavery could be legal as a crime, which was instrumental in creating mass imprisonment and the influx of private and state prisons. He also ordered the massacre of Dakota Indians after an uprising by them. Racist as hell. The Great Lie. That’s what he is.

17) Andrew Johnson - One of the worst presidents ever, if you can say that as all presidents ain’t shit, Johnson’s incompetence and his attempts to veto any rights for black people got him impeached. He wanted to re-slave and recolonize black people (he tried to vetoed the 13th and 14th Amendment). He also owned slaves, which probably caused his thinking. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

18) Ulysses S Grant - Even though he pushed hard on the Reconstruction, improved rights for black people, Jews, and Natives, and criminalized the KKK, he was a corrupt fool who had a number of corruption cases that weakened the Reconstruction. He also tried to claim Santo Domingo (now Dominican Republic). He was the last president known to own chattel slaves, although he freed his, despite his family still owning slaves.

19) Rutherford B Hayes - He was the final nail to the coffin of the Reconstruction as he pulled troops out of the South, letting the racist as fuck Southern Democrats take over. This intensified racial violence and discrimination against black people such as lynchings and voter suppression. He was the one that created the Dawes Act, that enforced assimilation on Indigenous people and them losing any ownership of their land. He also sent troops crushed a railroad strike (the Great Railroad Strike of 1877). Did nothing about the corruption, labor conditions, and wealth inequality during the Gilded Age.

20) James A Garfield - Another short one. Nothing great. Moving on.

21) Chester A Arthur - Signed a law targeting Chinese immigrants and citizens as they were blamed for low wages and unemployment. Did nothing about the rampant anti-blackness going on. He also continued the assimilation policies of Indigenous people and the theft and blockade of their land. Also did nothing about what’s going on during the Gilded Age.

22 & 24) Grover Cleveland - Did nothing about the poor labor conditions of the workers and let capitalists multiply their wealth while letting workers suffers. Sent troops to quell the Pullman Strike, which resulted in the imprisonment of socialist Eugene Debs. Also did nothing about the anti-blackness in this country. Continued anti-Chinese policies. A fave among libertarians. I can see why.

23) Benjamin Harrison - Let the Wounded Knee Massacre Happened with many Lakota Indians being massacred in order to destroy the Ghost Dance movement. Also supported assimilation of Natives. Supported the colonization of Hawaii after the Kingdom was overthrown by American missionaries and plantation owners. Also did nothing about anti-blackness and the robber barons. Continued anti-immigration policies.

25) William McKinley - Now we’re getting into the big imperialism. Finally colonized Hawaii as a part of the US. Took Puerto Rico, Cuba, Philippines, and Guam from Spain, transitioning power from one colonizer to another one. He also sent troops to China to quell the Boxer Rebellion, which resisted cultural imperialism and colonialism from missionaries and other colonial interests. Also did nothing about anti-blackness.

26) Theodore Roosevelt - Progressives favorite president was a big ass imperialist. But Square Deal, trust busting… yeah he regulated businesses and put out many social reforms, but as an attempt to quell any revolutionary changes. Anyway, increased military presence in the Philippines leading into the Philippine-American War, which was responsible for the deaths of many Filipinos. Expanded the Monroe Doctrine, which the US the right to intervene in Latin America aka imperialism. Took control of Cuba after briefly giving it independence and Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Panama too. Targeted anarchists, socialists, poor and disabled immigrants, and sex workers with another anti-immigration law. He okayed the discharging of black soldiers after they were accused of Brownsville Raid, ya know black people were accused of harming wite people at the time and were killed because of it. Never cared about black people. Hated Natives and once said a good Indian is a dead one. After his presidency, he killed around 11,000 animals that were Indigenous to Africa for a fucking Museum. So much for being progressive.

27) William Howard Taft - Didn’t care about black lives. Sent troops to try to stop the Mexican Revolution as he was a supporter of Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz. He also planned a coup against Nicaragua.

28) Woodrow Wilson - A despicable name who is another fave of progressives. An extremely racist motherfucker. He support segregation, banned black people from Princeton when he was President over there, and was pro-wite supremacist and played the pro KKK film Birth of a Nation in the White House. He also occupied Veracruz, Mexico and tried to quell the Mexican Revolution which also include the attempted capture of revolutionary Pancho Villa. He also invaded Dominican Republic and Haiti, the former led to the rise of DR dictator Rafael Trujillo. He got the country into WWI, getting the country into a war that had nothing to do with it. He started the Espionage Act and the first Red Scare which targeted socialists, anarchists, unionists, and anyone who opposed the war. Continued Teddy’s anti immigration policies. A fucking fascist is what he was.

29) Warren G Harding - Another corrupt motherfucker. Privatization of multiple industries and implemented tax cuts for the rich and corporations. Let wage cuts happened and oil preserves be control by private oil companies. Let corrupt officials in his government. Possible member of the KKK, and barely did anything for black lives. He was a terrible person.

30) Calvin Coolidge - Continued the capitalist policies of Harding. Refused farm subsidies. Didn’t do nothing for the black victims in the Great Mississippi Flood and let em suffer. Signed an anti-immigration bill. Sounds like something familiar that would happen almost 80 years later.

31) Herbert Hoover - While he’s known for his mishandling of the economy which was the final nail to the coffin that led to the Great Depression, he refused to sign any anti-lynching laws, favoring the interests of the Southern whites. He also put black victims of the aforementioned flood in poor conditions in the camp during his Vice-Presidency.

32) Franklin D Roosevelt - Here’s another progressive fave I’m gonna expose. But muh New Deal and Second Bill Rights… I don’t give a shit. The New Deal existed to save capitalism and not to radicalize the country. Most progressive reforms existed to preserve and maintain the capitalist system. Also, black people faced restriction and discrimination from the New Deal programs. Refused to sign an anti-lynching bill. Supported dictatorships in Latin America like Batista (Cuba), Trujillo (DR), and Somoza Sr.(Nicaragua). Let banks finance Hitler. Only went to WW2 after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because he froze trade towards Japan, which was a huge mistake trading with Japan. His administration planned creation for nuclear weapons. Put anyone of Japanese descent into concentration camps. Some progressive.

33) Harry S Truman - Committed one of the worst crimes in history. Nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which was responsible for many deaths over there. Help kickstart McCarthyism in America, one of the most repressive eras in America that targeted any radical leftist and even caused the downfall of some of them (ie Paul Robeson). Not only that, he’s instrumental in starting the wide support for brutally oppressive dictators and overthrowing popular leaders that would follow later presidents. He also help form the CIA. Supported Chiang’s repressive KMT government in Manila China and Taiwan (ROC). Helped in trying to stop revolutions in Greece and Turkey. Started the Korean War, which resulted in the death of multiple Koreans, the destabilization of DPRK (North) and the rise of multiple dictators in ROK (South). He also flirted with being a member of the KKK prior to being a president.

34) Dwight D Eisenhower - The OG of hardcore American imperialism. He continued the McCarthyist policies of targeting socialists and communists and let COINTELPRO exist, which was responsible for the repression and destruction of many black and brown revolutionary movements and targeted other black and brown activists. He also used McCarthyist policies against LBGT people. He supported repressive dictators like Francisco Franco (Spain), Chiang Kai Shek (ROC), Ngo Dinh Diem (South Vietnam) and Fulgencio Batista (Cuba). Supported France in maintaining control of their colony of Vietnam, and suppressing the Viet Minh revolution led by Ho Chi Minh, sparking the Vietnam War. Let the CIA plan coups in Iran and Guatemala, resulting in the power of the Shah Reza Pahlavi and the rise of military dictatorships in Guatemala respectively. Ordered the assassination of Congolese prime minister Patrice Lumumba. Tried to overthrow Cuba after Batista was overthrown by Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution. He was too chickenshit to come to Castro after he went to the US. Equally loved by liberals and conservatives and I see why.

35) John F Kennedy - Not good ole JFK! He was set up the USA! But Jack got blood on his hands too. He fully got the country into Vietnam, supporting South Vietnam and continuing one of the most unpopular and deadly wars, a war that existed to maintain colonialism and imperialism in SE Asia. Not only that, he tried to overthrow Castro in the Bay of Pigs invasion, which almost got the country involved in a nuclear war with the USSR and Cuba. Also planned a coup in Iraq, which resulted in the Ba’athists taking. Not only all of this, he let the COINTELPRO spy, target, and harass black activists, including Martin Luther King Jr., who Kennedy pretended to be his friend. He played a lot of civil rights and Black Power activists. Malcolm X saw through his game and critiqued the March of Washington as a farce to control any black activism and radicalism. He’s also instrumental in the long term goal of the Democrats and liberals manipulating black people to support him. So much of him being a good president.

36) Lyndon B Johnson - The fucking manipulator. Continued the repressive policies of the COINTELPRO and Mccarthyism. Even tho they also targeted (via spying, wire tapping, and harassment) anti-war and communists and socialists, their main targets were the black activists and radicals. He targeted MLK after he spoke out against the Vietnam War and caused his breakdown, some friend he was. He also let the COINTELPRO target Malcolm X, SNCC, the Black Panther Party, and other black radical movements. He perfected the manipulation of black people to the Dems and liberals, and said once I’ll have those n***ers voting Democrats for next 200 years. He only passed out Civil Rights Acts and anti-poverty programs to quell any revolutionary movements, like all liberals do. Intensified the Vietnam War by sending more troops over there, resulting in more casualties and massacres over there like the My Lai Massacre. Started the bombing of Cambodia. Aided Israel in their Six Day War against Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. Let the CIA overthrow democratically elected and revolutionary governments in countries like Indonesia, Congo, Ghana, Greece, and Brazil, replacing them with military dictatorships. Supported repressive dictators around the world, including the aforementioned. Got the CIA to capture popular Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara, which resulted in his execution by the Bolivian military. He also increased the power of the police after multiple riots happened as a response against racism and police brutality. A true champion for liberals.

37) Richard Nixon - Oh hell yeah! I got so much dirt on this motherfucker. A legit criminal and tyrant. Continued McCarthyism and the COINTELPRO through violent suppression, harassment, wiretapping, and spying. Suppressed revolutionary and anti-war movements, including Kent State, SNCC, the Chicago Seven, Black Panthers, and Black Liberation Army. The destruction of the BPP by the FBI, CIA, and police happened during his presidency. Started the War of Drugs which criminalized black people (his intention). First president to fully use the Southern Strategy, which appealed to Southern wites by promising state rights to them, which is wite power in smaller steps. Continued the War in Vietnam, which also includes invading and bombing Laos and Cambodia (which also includes a coup) respectively. However, he withdrew troops from Vietnam in 73. Sent arms to Iran, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. Let the CIA continue overthrowing democratically elected and revolutionary governments, which includes overthrowing democratically elected Chilean president Salvador Allende and replacing with a repressive military junta led by Augusto Pinochet. He also supported and defended Pakistan in their war against Bangladesh, which includes a genocide against them. He also military supported dictators around the world like the Philippines, Greece, aforementioned Chile, Spain, Congo (Zaire), and Haiti. He got exposed by the Watergate scandal that forced him to resign. Too bad that never got indicted for his crimes.

38) Gerald Ford - Really nothing but a transitional president from Nixon to Carter. However, he did pardon Nixon for his crimes. Along with that, he did got involved in the Angola Civil War, supporting the neo-colonial and right wing forces over there. Supported Indonesia in their war against East Timor. Yeah he was just there.

39) Jimmy Carter - He maybe seen as an incompetent president, but Carter got blood on his hands too and is another one liberals love to praise because of his post-presidency. Anyway, he funded the muhadjeen in Afghanistan, an Islamic fundamentalist paramilitary group that is a predecessor to many Islamist organizations like Al-Qaeda and ISIS, to overthrow communist rule over there. He also stood by the barbaric Khmer Rouge of Cambodia. He said his foreign policy supported human rights, but that was a lie as he supported dictators like Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire (Congo), the Shah Pahlavi and Muhammad Zia ul-Haq of Pakistan. He also didn’t say shit about the repressive nature of the countries he supported. He also expanded the War of Drugs. So much for him being a humanitarian.

40) Ronald Reagan - Beloved by the right, somewhat loved by the liberals, The king of neoliberalism, McCarthyism, and American imperialism. There’s so much I gotta say about this fuckface cuz he got so much blood on his hands. His neoliberal Reaganomics is the most toxic economic system ever. He made cuts to a majority social services, and created a huge fucking wealth gap that increased the wealth of the capitalists and bourgeoisie. Not only this, black and brown suffered the most from Reaganomics as poverty increased in black and brown communities. Cut multiple civil rights bills and acts, and used the Southern Strategy to a tee. Coined the term welfare queen (which is racist, classist, and sexist) to rum up fear and hostility against welfare recipients. Expanded the War of Drugs that continued the constant incarceration of black people. Speaking of that, he let CIA plant drugs (cocaine) in the black neighborhoods, while him and his wife told people to say no to drugs. Went to Bitburg, Germany to celebrate the memory of SS officers. Let thousands of people die from AIDS and didn’t give a damn about gay rights. Also, during his time as Governor of California, he ordered a witch hunt against communists, which included Angela Davis, and worked the NRA and police/FBI to disarm and crush the BPP respectively. Now to his imperialist record. His Reagan Doctrine existed to crush revolutionary movement and replace em with barbaric and despotic governments/extremists. A major example was his increased funding of the muhadjeen, going where Jimmy Carter left off, and y’all know how well that went when they took over Afghanistan. People forget (tbh ignore) that these Islamist extremists were funded by the US (esp the CIA). Not only that, he supported Saddam Hussein (he was an US ally) and gave him military weapons, which he used to kill the Kurds in Iraq. Funded the Contras to quell the Sandista revolution through trafficking cocaine (via the CIA) and selling arms to Iran. Almost got into a war with Lebanon, but got the troops out after he realized he fucked up with his plan. Invaded Grenada to destroy the remnants of the New Jewel Movement and replace with a puppet leader. He also support neocolonial paramilitary forces in countries like Angola, Afghanistan (muhadjeen), Cambodia, Nicaragua (the Contras), and El Salvador. Supported repressive military dictators of the likes of Pinochet (Chile), Mobuto (Zaire/Congo), Baby Doc (Haiti), Suharto (Indonesia), and Rios Montt (Guatemala) like other presidents. He also gave Baby Doc Duvalier and Ferdinand Marcos (the Philippines) refuge after revolts against them happen. Supported and defended apartheid South Africa. Bombed the fucked outta Libya and let a US Navy Ship blow up a plane full of Iranians. Yeah an inspiration of all spectrum of the right and a bit of the center. I see why. Some of this sounds similar to a latter president, more on that later.

41) George HW Bush - Son of a Nazi financier (Prescott Bush’s banks funded Nazis), father of a war criminal, Papa Bush perfectly bridged the gap from one dirty presidency to another. Stood by and supported Reagan during his tenure as VP. His campaign showed a picture of black criminal Willie Horton as a smear campaign against the other presidential candidate as they said that he is soft of crime and oppose the death penalty for criminals like Horton. Yeah, the type of shit that wite ppl pull, using a black face to advocate the death penalty, like they do, and associating blackness with crime, like they always do. Went to war with Iraq over it’s invasion of Kuwait, but it was right thing, the UN… please. It happened because the US sees Kuwait as their oil colony. It was a property war as both the US and Iraq saw Kuwait as theirs and it was responsible for the destruction of Iraq. Invaded Panama for drug trafficking, despite the US (via the CIA) doing the same thing and them knowing of it, and put another puppet leader over there. What’s ironic about this that we supported Panama and Iraq and we have them political/financial support and weapons (in the case of Iraq). When the Cold War ended, we stopped supporting em and stood against him just to look good. Also, put troops in Somalia under the guise of humanitarianism just to attempt to colonize it rather than giving it reparations. The theme of military intervention under the guise of humanitarianism would be a recurring theme for other presidents. Signed the toxic NAFTA which was responsible for horrible labor conditions and environmental violations. Targeted rappers (with his VP) like Ice-T and 2pac because of their content. He eventually lost re-election because he wanted families to be less like the Simpsons, even though his policies made the Simpsons look like the Waltons.

42) Bill Clinton - Ugh. Another Democrat who exist to look good and got blood on his hands. He was also a shitty person. During his time as governor of Arkansas, he and his wife made black prisoners take care of and clean up the governor’s mansion with no compensation. Yes, this is slavery. They essentially owned slaves. He was a disgusting predator who sexually assaulted and harassed a number of women, before and after his presidency. His predatory behavior led to his impeachment, which only limit his power. Now his presidency. Used the Southern Strategy to gain wins. Continued and Oked NAFTA. Continued the neoliberal policies that dawned over America. Signed a 1994 Crime which expanded the power of police and prisons and increased the mass imprisonment of black people. During that time, his wife called black boys superpredators. Killed the remaining remnants of the welfare state by forcing recipients to work for their welfare because muh welfare queen, targeting mainly poor/working/Black women. Was behind multiple corruption scandals like Travelgate and Whitewater. Wanted to target Sister Souljah when her outspoken views was misconstrued by the media, and portrayed her a racist and a pot stirrer. He was the one that enforced the immigration laws that would continue in the country that was responsible for restrictive borders, ridiculous immigration laws, and xenophobic attacks and targeting cuz illegal immigration, despite this country founded by illegal theft. Continued the US intervention in Somalia, but when shit got tough, he got em out. Knew about the Rwandan genocide and blocked any assistance of the country. The only reason he didn’t intervene because Rwanda wasn’t seen as profitable. Expanded the powers of NATO (North Atlantic TERRORIST Organization), which was bad. This expansion led to the 1995 and 1999 bombing of Yugoslavian nations (Bosnia and Herzegovina/Yugoslavia respectively), which was another one under the name of humanitarianism. The bombing did nothing but target civilians and bring damage and they didn’t end the conflict. The US protecting Kosovo was essentially them preying on a vulnerable country and making into a puppet state. Sent missiles to attack Iraq, when it didn’t do anything. Attacked a pharmaceutical company in Sudan. He still prove to be a piece os shit after his presidency when him and his wife exploited funds that was meant for Haiti and decided to went after BLM. And he’s labeled the first black president. Da fuck?! Fuck him (and his wife too).

43) George W Bush - Ol Cowboy George. The notorious war criminal himself. The biggest joke ever. Never forget, most of the whole world hated him because of his actions. Lets begin, but first… let’s talk about 9/11. No conspiracies please, even tho enjoy making jokes about it. What happened on 9/11 wasn’t because they hated our freedoms. That’s Grade A pure bullshit. 9/11 was a result of our toxic foreign policy and the fact that who did was our Frankenstein. What I mean? Never forget, OBL and his Al Qaeda buddies, and the whole fucking Taliban were created by the US. The US (like always, with the help of the CIA) made these people by shipping weapons to them and training/teaching them with a reactionary ideology cuz Cold War and we let em overrun Afghanistan. We also turned against em when the Cold War ended, and they turned against and attacked us when we kept fucking with the Middle East. Therefore, this was a case of chickens roosting. Saddam was also an US ally, but when we found him useless and fucking with our oil colony Kuwait, we turned against him. This led to the War on Terrorism (Afghanistan and Iraq) which was bullshit because it was foolish to wage war against terrorism when we have funded and supported terrorisn, we created these terrorists in the first place, war is terrorism itself, there was no WMD (it was an excuse just to kick out ol Saddam), and the fact that anyone can be a terrorist. Ironically enough, the USA had done nothing about the terrorists in their own country like the KKK (oh wait! They’re wite). These wars are responsible for the death of multiple Afghan and Iraqi lives and this wasn’t a fight for freedom. It was for imperialism. It was for resources, especially oil (in the case of Iraq). The theme of these wars are humanitarianism, and lemme tell you this, there’s nothing humanitarian about war because war is violence and profit. Afghanistan was led by a corrupt puppet leader, while Iraq fell into despair which led to the rise of ISIS. PS, his buddy Dick Cheney’s corporation profit ire from Iraq. Not only all of this, this began the targeting and discrimination of (Black and Brown) Muslims, Africans, (S, SE, and W) Asians, and some Latinos and Sikhs. This included racial profiling, xenophobia, racism, wiretapping, violence/harassment against said groups, and toxic policies such as the Patriot ACT, TSA, and NSA. Targeted dissidents and Started the drone program which would be carried by his successor. Bush was the match that sparked the fire of things like racial profiling, police brutality, anti-immigration policies, xenophobia (ICE started under his rule), racism including anti-blackness, ultra-nationalism/patriotism, McCarthyist/Espionage like acts, imperialism, the rise of US neo-fascism, and neoliberalism. Continued neoliberal policies which would later result into austerity, which would spark the rise of wite supremacist/new fascist groups and increase economic inequality. While he did say it wasn’t his intention to cause all of this, but he let it happen. Let black people (esp in NOLA) drown and suffer under Katrina, and how he dealt with it? Sending the Natl Guard on them out there like a bunch of rabid dogs. Also planned to overthrow Cuba, Iran, Syria, N Korea (DPRK), and Venezuela and was possibly behind the coups of Haiti and Venezuela. Started the No Child Left Behind Act, which pushed more state testing and in schools, that hurted schools, teachers, and student, and it was low key push for school privatization. Now, he has a library, painting pictures, and condemning racism, despite his war/imperialist crimes, sparking racism and xenophobia, and institutional racism. Aye, he was fucking horrible and he (and the libs) are trying so hard to erase that and make himself look good.

44) Barack Obama - (Please refrain from using terms like Uncle Tom if you ain’t nonblack. That’s a black people’s thing) Aye, I use to support him so much, and I will defend him from wite supremacy (his right wing critics were fucking horrible), but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he was a successor to Bush. If Bush was the match, then Obama was the fuel to the flames of neoliberalism and imperialism. He continued the war of Afghanistan and took forever to end Iraq. He started a war with Libya and Syria which contributed to the destruction of them. He also funded terrorists to take care of that, which includes ISIS and Al-Qaeda, that led to Syria almost being taken over by ISIS, and Libya being toppled and overran by extremists and reviving the enslavement of black Africans. Expanded the drone program and drone the shit outta the Middle East and Africa, killing multiple people, including women and children. Also, invaded Mali for its resources and almost backed up the Ukraine coup (which was led by Neo-Nazis). Had thoughts of overthrowing Iran, Venezuela, and DPRK. Let Killary Clinton into his administration and she backed him in the wars of Syria and Libya. She was also behind the coups of Egypt and Honduras and the destabilization of countries like Venezuela and Haiti. Anyway, Obama, like the previous ones, continued neoliberal policies and austerity cuts, which added fuel to wite supremacist/neo-fascist groups and increased economic inequality. Continued the Espionage Act/McCarthyist like policies. While posing as a civil rights president, he didn’t do shit about the massive police violence against black people (especially LBGTQs, women, children, and the underclass) and trans people especially trans women, didn’t do nothing about the continued anti-blackness, racism, anti-LBGTQ-ism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia in this country, and let anti-immigrant policies happen including mass deportations and the ICE. Let the near privatization of public schools happen. Signed a deal with the TPP, which was a continuation of NAFTA. His policies and actions were the final nail in letting the next president. He’s still trying to make himself look good to this day. Another liberal with blood on his hand. However, if McCain won, he would’ve done the same thing as in whatever Bush did, the next person can do better.

45) Donald Trump - The final one for now. Ahhh!!!! What the fuck happened? I shoulda knew this damn bastard would win with how much the previous presidents destabilized this country. Fascism is what happens when the wite cishet patriarchal capitalist structure is in a dire situation. Trump is a fascist, no if, and, or buts. He’s a capitalist trying to appeal to working class as in I’m on your side (populism), like a fascist. He targeted non-Christians and nonwites and planned to take care of him, like a fascist. Ultranationalist and ultra patriotic, like a fascist. Uses racism, sexism, xenophobia, and anti-LBGT-ism, like a fascist. Uses a hell lotta cult of personality, like a fascist. Supports privatization of services and industries, like a fascist. Anyway, Trump in his beginning has done so much. Centers his presidency on racism, sexism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia, and let his cult followers attack nonwites. He has been exposed as a sexual predator who has sexually assaulted a number of women, including a 13 yo girl and his ex-wife. He also been exposed of discriminating against black tenants in the 70s, and supported a conviction against four black boys and a Latino one after they were accused of raping a wite woman jogger, ya know the same fucking cases where black men were accused of raping WW. Hires a wite supremacist and someone who’s pro-privatization of public education into his office (Steve Bannon and Betsy DeVos respectively, although the former is gone). He also hired Mike Pence as VP, who’s horribly homophobic and has ties with toxic lobbies like ALEC and the Koch Bros. Plan to privatize and cutting many services and industries. His whole administration was full of capitalists and bigots. Tried to abolish Obamacare and cut funding to it. Dropped a huge bomb on Afghanistan and ordered air strikes at Syria and had thoughts of invading Venezuela and Iran. Defended wite supremacists and Neo-Nazis when they attacked and called em fine SOBs. Ordered a Muslim Ban and amped up anti-immigration legislation, including the rise of the ICE, targeting of brown and black immigrants, deportation of said immigrants, and separation and detainment of immigrant children. Targeted NFL players who kneeled during the Anthem, and attempted to make it illegal. Let police continue with their brutality, and stood by them, and released a Blue Lives Matter Bill, that increased their power. Oked the Keystone Pipeline, which would build through protected and sacred lands, including Indigenous land. Let the FBI target black radicals and BLM, under the excuse of black identity extremists, despite the issue of wite supremacists and Neo-Nazis and their shit. Did nothing about the rampant racism, sexism, anti-LBGTQ-ism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia, both individualized and institutional. Also, his cult followers are fucking terrible. I’m gonna stop there for now. Anyway, Trump is a terrible human being and he needs to be off social media. He deserves to be hated, fuck what you say, and I’m tired of his ass kissers making excuses for him. As long he stays, fascism remains, and the libs and conservatives are keeping him there.

So that’s it for now.

#AllLivesMatter

Yes, Every Life Matters and deserves protection

Fuck Nah! All Lives Don’t Matter. They really fucking don’t!

When you say All Lives Matter, you’re saying that my life is valuable as my oppressor. You’re saying that the lives of those that are consistently marginalized in this nation are valuable as those who continually oppress. And when you equate black lives to our oppressors guess who lives matters? Yes, the former because they’ll make sure black lives like me don’t matter. That’s it just foolish.

Those who continually oppress or support such oppression of black lives shouldn’t matter because they’ll make sure that our lives don’t matter. They support that police officer that kills black people mercilessly. They believe those that advocate or express oppressive views lives matters. There are people (generally speaking, white people) out there who say All Lives Matter but express sadistic glee when a cop kills a black person, especially if they’re a black boy or a black woman, or black protesters get ran over. Hell, they’ll believe that black lives matter less while they saying it. Cops are killing us left and right and their lives matter more than ours. White lives matter over us. Our lives don’t matter because we’re on the bottom, especially those who are working class, poor, young, disabled, sex workers, women, queer, trans, nb/ngc or any intersection of these identities.

Also, stop fucking saying yes All Lives Matter, but we’re focused on the Black ones. You’re still centering All Lives Matter. Explaining why Black Lives > All Lives is exhausting as fuck because white people don’t give a fuck. They are bred into not giving a fuck about black lives. White people deny their racism, defend their racism, or tell black people to deal with it. All Lives Matter is absolutely problematic because 1) it existed as a fuck you to Black Lives Matter and 2) when it means all lives, it includes those who continually oppress others. Fuck All Lives Matter!

What Prince meant to me as a Black Man

About a year ago, we lost a musical genius by the name of Prince Rogers Nelson, who we just know as Prince. It was one of the biggest deaths that happened in the deadly year of 2016. It was shocking. It was tbh unexpected because of how healthy and ageless he was. When he died, he left a legacy and impact in popular music. Prince was a genius. He could sing like no one else. He can play multiple instruments, and produced, wrote, and played all the instruments on most of his albums and songs and he did that with other artists he worked with, most notably the Time. No one can't do what Prince have done. Only Stevie Wonder rivals him in artistry. Now, I've seen some artists talking about how much they love Prince, but don't know jack shit about him (i.e. white musicians only playing Purple Rain), but we know that he had a ton of songs and albums in his vault. Not only that, the media had made it clear that they'll whitewash his career, shaping him into their perspective, than what he really is. They say that Prince transcended race, because he played in pop and rock circles, even they are black genres. Prince reestablished that fact that pop and rock are black genres. The Billboard tribute to Prince led by Madonna, I gave it no fucks cuz it's one of those institutions that celebrate white artistry Prince was black. His image and artistry was centered around blackness. His influence and legacy was felt by black people the most. Prince was unique from a lotta black male musicians. While he was pro-black, sexual, and political like them, he lacked the tough and masculine image, replacing that with a more feminine and sensitive image. He rejected sexual and gender norms and became something that was he said in his song I Would Die 4 U: "I'm not a man. I'm not a woman. I'm something that you would never understand." His personality, despite him later distancing away from that due to his conversion to Jehovah's Witnesses, would be an influence to black LBGTs, nonbinaries/non-conforming, and androgynous folx. Even though I'm asexual, Prince's imagery influenced me because it told me that you can be both black and whatever and not conform to the norms that white supremacy and Hoteppery expect from black folx. Prince told me that you can both be black and be rock. Prince influenced me as an asexual to not bow down to sexual and gender norms. Prince taught me that I'm black and unique. Prince gave no fucks about how he should be, and so do I. Prince has influenced me, and others, to be the black person that you wanna be.

#AwardsSoWhite

I am so so late on this issue, but I really need to say it anyway. Awards shows, I don’t really care about them. I think of them as nothing but popularity contests than actually awarding the talent put forth. I had a post on this before, but I deleted it, I felt like I didn’t add enough. Anyway, I was watching videos from Youtuber Seren (Youtube name: Sensei Aishitemasu check out her videos) about the Awards (Both Grammy and Oscars) and how they center around whiteness, and made me realize how much white artists are so awarded for their popularity of their art that they made. For instance, Adele has won most of her nominations (15 outta 18) and she awarded like hell in a single day as compared to Beyonce who has 62 nominations and was only awarded 22 (this include her career with Destiny’s Child). The VMAs are known for constantly favoring white musicians and elevating them. I could say Kanye pointed that out when he upstaged Taylor Swift when Beyoncé’s Single Ladies lost to Swift’s music video, but we know he ain’t shit, but Nicki Minaj really pointed that out twice and wasn’t afraid to speak out on it (Swift and fellow Queen Appropriator Miley Cyrus went after her when she did that). Now with the Grammys. As we seen, the Grammys has been relegating their black artists to black genre awards than the major awards and awarding them less. Hell, white artists like JT and Macklemore has a better chance in winning in black genre awards. Keep in mind that the rate of rewarding black artists have decline. From Michael Jackson’s record of winning eight awards in a day to black artists only winning in the genre they play (R&B, hip hop). Black artists, despite their great talent don’t get awarded as much (sans Jackson and his former producer Quincy Jones). Along with the aforementioned Beyoncé, Prince is a fine example. He produces and writes all of his albums and played all the instruments on them (he did that with his side projects and other artists), but was only rewarded 7 Grammys. As we know, Beyoncé released the hottest album in 2016 titled Lemonade including the fan favorite and black as fuck song Formation. I know most of us were expecting for it to win a shit ton of awards, but it only won two (one of them was an unnecessary category as pointed out by Seren), while most of the Grammys that it shoulda won went to Adele. Then, Adele made a speech about how Beyoncé shoulda won these awards and talked about how her black friends loved Lemonade and broke one of her awards in half. This may sound nice, but is nothing but a white savior complex and the white liberal nature of apologizing yet not backing it up with any actions or principles. Adele apologized rather than pointing out and fighting the racist system of the Grammys. The Oscars are racist as fuck as they’re made to cater to whiteness. This is the reason why so many films and these white actors and actresses that are elevated by white people are awarded so much. I know that black actors and actresses have won, but most of them won because they were in roles that fit the white gaze. However this year after many years of #OscarssoWhite, this year we got some black winners! Viola Davis won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Fences, Mahershala Ali won Best Supporting Actor for his role in Moonlight, and Moonlight won Best Picture. I’m proud of their win cuz they deserve it. However, it doesn’t mean it was perfect as Denzel Washington, one of the greatest actors ever, wasn’t awarded Best Actor which went to that rapist Casey Affleck (he ain’t the only one as fellow rapists like Roman Polanski and Woody Allen were awarded too), whose game to fame is being the brother of a famous actor. I’m proud of this accomplishment, but Idk. The Oscars, like many awards show, have cultivated an environment of white supremacy by over awarding white artists. However, these wins was a blowout to the white nature of the Oscars. Now, I’m gonna talk about Moonlight. I never watched it, but it’s one of those films that I highly regard of great work. The film explored the life of black queer men and the struggles and experiences that they face. This could’ve lost easily, as the Best Picture could’ve gone to La La Land, a white romance film (like we haven’t seen those before) set around the 40s and 50s (fuck that film anyway). However, they won in the biggest upsets in Oscars history. It was a victory because a film that is black and queer as fuck won over a film that is a white supremacist/white mediocrity wet dream. This reminded me of when Hank Aaron beat Babe Ruth’s home run record and how the whites seethed at that like they did with Moonlight. When it comes to us getting on top, we are accused of winning by bullshit strawmen like political correctness and affirmative action, ignoring the fact that white people have been on top since their existence. But let them be angry, no fucks given to them. To finalize about the awards, most of the major awards are racist because they solely exist to celebrate whiteness. While they’re is nothing wrong when a black person scores an upset in those institutions, but not every white place needs a black face cuz of the double edged sword of either that black person assimilating into whiteness or being attacked by such. Also, give support black awards cuz they need it or even independent awards.

7 Reasons why the Left is dead in America.

As we know, the left is in serious life support in America. It wasn’t what it was then in the 60s and 70s or the era of the Industrial Revolution. There are many reasons for its downfall, but I’m gonna give seven. 

#7: Internal in-fighting between ideologies and sectarianism. 

One of the major problem that befell the left is the constant antagonism between state and libertarian socialists esp. in the case of MLs/communists and anarchists/ancoms. We are fighting over what ideology is right and wrong, ideas from this revolutionary will set us free, which leader is better, what is or what is not socialism, and all that jazz. Both anarchism and communism have its problems, but we need to realize this: they’re both tenants of socialism that is made to fight against the capitalist state. We have no connection with each other just squabbling. Despite that, there are groups that are cult-like or secretarian that think their ideas are better and others aren’t. Avoid em. Anyway, look at the left in Latin America, as it consists of different ideologies working to fight against capitalism and imperialism.

#6: Over reliance on old leftist theorists and a cult of personality. 

I see this a lot in leftists and it annoys me that we still got people who are over dependent on works from leftist theorists like Bakunin, Marx, Kropotkin, and Lenin. They are so optimistic that if we just keep following their ideas, we’ll be free rather than adapting to the reality of now and see we need more than that to survive. Anarchist Panther Ashanti Alston Omowale said that anarchism is pitiful if it relies on the work of its European figureheads, rather than the experience of actual struggle and revolution. That can apply that to forms of socialism. If we rely on leftist dogma, we ain’t gonna progress. Another thing is that a lotta leftists wanna create a cult of personality around their favorite theorists than learn from their ideas and flaws. We refuse to adapt to the situation that capitalism created. Look at Communalism. It’s based off of experiences of revolutionary organizing and action. It was made for how to create self governed municipalities to survive from the vampiric nature of capitalism. We need to learn from recent experiences of revolution and struggle and the ever changing nature of capitalism. 

#5: How it treats anti-oppression and intersectional politics.  One problem with the left is that it refuses or fully adapt anti oppression and/or intersectional politics. Some of them may claim that they are anti-racist/sexist/transphobic etc. but don’t do nothing with it. Sometimes they make their opposition towards oppressive behaviors about themselves or invade marginalized folx spaces and police them. On the other hand, there are some that dismiss them as identity politics and call them divisive and believe that they are a distraction in fighting class conflict. The revolution will be intersectional or it will not be a revolution. What they don’t understand that these identities intersect with class and that class itself is an identity. Also, there are those that practice oppressive behaviors in their spaces (I’ll get into that more) and resist to understand how they benefit off of whiteness. 

#4 Over reliance on electoral politics and entrance to the state. 

The left believes that to succeed is to elect people into state politics. Even though this been a long practice with limited success, but those leftists groups also had revolutionary organizing. Here’s the thing: we ain’t got that now. We’re so fixated in putting our ideas to the state, that we forget the necessity to organize. At this point we should see the reality of electoral politics by these facts: 

A. The state is essentially capitalist as it is a system ran by the ruling class.

B. Electoral politics are controlled and operated by the state. 

C. Electoral politics are centered around an elephant and a jackass. 

D. Any chance that the radical left getting elected into state politics is slim. 

E. In order to succeed into the state, you must soften your views or assimilate into their political thinking. 

I may sound anarchist saying this, but I know that there are state socialists who agree that compromises with the state is surrender. That’s how Bernie Sanders was made. He came out left, but when he worked with the state, he didn’t bother to oppose the capitalist state, worked with the Dems and stood by or be silent of their atrocities, spoke nebulously for milquetoast reforms, and appealed to middle class white millennials than the working class and poor he claimed he’s standing for. We should never sell out to the state because the state will never be for our interests. 

#3: Engaging in a lotta pacifism. 

I know people that are nonviolent, and I’m like okay, but I think we really need to transcend from that. Pacifism has a lot of problems, mostly that the only way to fight against institutionalized violence and corruption is to be nonviolent and it implants that idea towards oppressed folx. It is ignorant  towards the history that this country (and many other settler nations) was founded by violence, that nonviolence alone is futile without armed wing to back it, and that it’s necessary to retaliate with violence against an illegitimate state. A lotta leftists have completely abandoned armed resistance and rejected violence as a tactic to fight against capitalism and oppression. They won’t even bother to fight the right, believing that they’ll change through debate and compassion. However, they don’t know that the right can and will exert violence on whom they hate. Many believe that nonviolence will produce better change, not realizing that the state has a monopoly on violence and can exert it at their own will. Also, pacifism is toxic as fuck as it tells us that we shouldn’t fight back while our oppressors plot our destruction.

#2: Too many liberals (and some reactionaries) in our movement.

One major issue why the Left is struggling because liberals (and some reactionaries) has invaded and flooded our movement. Main reasons for most of the aforementioned reasons are because liberalism is infecting our movement. They’re the main reason for why we won’t fight fascists/bigots as they humanize em, defend their actions as free speech, justify their existence. When the right gets stronger, they'll come out their doldrums and defend their existence, and let them kill us. Liberals push pacifism and electoral politics on leftists and claim that these ideas are radical. They distort the fuck outta history and the true meaning of socialism, into their view and pandering to the right's dismissive view of it. I see a lot of so called leftists engaging in liberalism rather than radicalism, that they’re deserving of questioning. I also see that a lotta liberals call them leftists and claim that they are the standard bearers of leftism and make leftism about being anti-conservative, yet pro liberal and liking leftist figures without even understanding their principles. They also flood the movement with conspiracy theories, something that isn't leftist. Let’s be honest, liberals aren’t our friends and not even left because they have a history of destroying and crushing leftist movements and leaders. Most of them are working with the Democrats and are double agents of the state as they exist dilute radical ideas and movements and assimilate them to the capitalist state. These people wants to push the left into the capitalist state and the Democrats. These people justify or be silent on neoliberalism and imperialism as long it’s a Democrat. These people also encourage or even gaslight other leftists to engage into shitty liberal beliefs. Most of them also engage in oppressive behaviors (mostly transphobia, racism, classism, sexism, and ableism). Speaking of that, reactionaries have also taken over the left, mostly in Facebook groups. They engage in the aforementioned behavior just as worst as the liberals and defend it as left. These are what I call the "alt left". The main reason why the left is dying too many damn people with reactionary or revisionist mindsets coming in infecting our movement with their shit.

And #1: AMERICA.

What could be at fault than any of the other reasons for the left's demise? Simple. It's America. Many people like to blame the left dying because the right going strong, identity politics, or being too soft, but they refuse to look at how much America fucked up the left. America (with occasional help from other Western nations) has spent years in dismantling, weakening, and suppressing leftist ideals, movements, leaders, and nations through the Red Scare, McCarthyism, espionage acts, police, imperialism, violence, propaganda, the FBI, CIA, NATO, unjust laws, betrayal, coups, neo-colonialism, installing puppet leaders, and war. America is the greatest enemy of the left, and will make sure we die a slow or fast death. America will never adapt to leftism because it is a white imperialist capitalist settler nation that was founded by the genocide of the Native Americans and the slavery of Africans. America is capitalist and will not give up its capitalist state without fight. You know why the left is dying here? Because America has killed it. America will do anything to destroy the left in here and in other nations.

Even though I said the left is in struggle in the USA, It has been slowing recovering with the election of President Donald Trump and the concurrent rise of fascism in this nation. However, the left got stronger in some nations of Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

Yes, America is a Dictatorship

America is and was always a dictatorship no ifs, ands, or buts. A country where the top 10% of income makers owns 90% of the wealth. The elections are centered around two capitalist parties. The State solely exists to execute the power of the ruling class and corporations. Police are allowed to execute violence against poor, trans, black, and brown people. The police were actually created from slave patrols to crush revolts. Immigrants and Muslims (whether they are black or brown) are targeted because white nationalists and fascists are running rapid and are allowed to attack and kill who anyone they hate. They claim they fo human rights, but commit human rights abuses overseas. Wars and bombings are committed against nonwhite nations and claims we’re fighting for our freedom. We attack and destroy countries around the world. We’ve overthrown revolutionary leaders and instill puppet leaders and brutal dictators. We’ve let paramilitary forces that we funded take over countries and let them destroy them. They don’t do shit for the environment. No laws or initiatives to protect us from global warming and environmental degradation. All forms of greenery are destroyed for capitalist uses and the water, land, and life that surrounds it are hurt. We are greedy for oil that we would risk environmental life and Indigenous land. Worker rights aren't protected as free trade agreements are solely made to expand the global power of corporations, unions are crushed, shitty conditions and wages. Corporations refused to give their workers high wages and adequate health care. Corporations and the ruling class profit off the labor of the workers. Lawmakers cuts social programs like education and health care, and call it freedom, but people will die and struggle when they can't afford anything. This country calls itself LBGT inclusive, but ignore violence against poor and nonwhite queers and trans ppl (esp transwomen and TWOC). Marginalized women suffer the worst from this country's brutality. No matter how multicultural and multiracial it potrays itself, this country still centered by whiteness and black, brown, yellow, and red people are continually oppressed there. Private property matters over human rights. Gentrification exists around all states, and marginalized people are thrown out and homeless. There are people who have no access to water, food, and resources and there are black people who have to poor water conditions in Flint, Michigan. We have the largest prison populations and the conditions are shit. We target whistleblowers and dissidents and imprision them. We crush protestors. We had concentration camps in WWII. The USA prides itself as being founded under freedom and liberty, but it was founded by seizing Indigenous land and the slavery of Africans. This country relied heavily on slavery and Indigenous violence. Slavery was considered over when 13th Amendment was passed, but it continued through wage slavery and prison labor. America went through a period of segregation and still maintains it through some institutions. There’s so such thing as freedom in America because it’s a settler colony that ruled by the white male cishetero abled bodied capitalists.

White People, just fucking stop.

I’ve saw a photo of Betsy DeVos being attacked because she plan to defund public schools being likened to Ruby Bridges bravely going to a segregated school. Stop. Just fucking stop. I’ve seen shit like this when white people, and even non black POC, do this shit. White feminists and gays do this to a tee. However, I did that before when it came to the latter to shut up white conservatives were homophobic as fuck. Luckily, I got away from that. White people, your problems and issue isn’t like our oppression, that y'all caused. This is what I called n***er of the world mentality, referencing the John Lennnon song "Woman is the N***er of the World" in which he used a racial slur to describe the discrimination women faced (i.e. comparing white women's discrimination to our oppression). White people wants to be the n***er of the world so everyone else can feel sorry for them, but yet don't give a shit when we're down. Our blackness is not a punchline y'all can reference for your own problems. It's absolutely dismissive to our struggle for you to use our oppression to bring up your point that you so wrong in making. Racist? Yes! And most importantly, fuck you and person who made that photo!

We're not a nation of immigrants.

Recently, I’ve heard the term “we’re a nation of immigrants” to counter the massive xenophobia in the country. Tbr, America was never a nation of immigrants. America wasn’t founded by a bunch of immigrant seeking land on an uncharted land. It wasn’t founded by European settlers fleeing from an oppressive monarchy. It was founded by the European settlers stealing from the Indigenous Americans, killing and expunging them, and enslaving Africans. The American Revolution was a farce because the rich European settlers wanted to break away from Britain so they can rule over America. Remember when they ruled, they removed the Indigenous people from their land, and considered slaves 3/5ths of a person. Hell, they even showed contempt for their women and poor. America was founded under whiteness and this country stills runs on it, regardless of how many races and ethnicities are there. Therefore, someone saying that they hate immigrants and wishes for their nonexistence is American as fuck because America was built off of racism, colonialism, and capitalism. This so called Rainbow Nation is a multicolored token nation ruled under white supremacy. The different races and ethnicities are assimilated into Americana adopting the oppressive behaviors that this country practices, internally and externally. Saying that the USA is a nation of immigrants, erases the violent history and true nature of America.
