Brown Shirts, Golden Dawn & the Tea Party

What is the commonality between the old Nazi Brown Shirts of Germany, the Greek Golden Dawn Party and the USA Tea Party? One is they were funded by the oligarchies; two is they all started out as laughable, but soon became more powerful, more racist and more fascist than anyone thought possible. They are antiunion, against immigrants and will crucify anyone not willing to go along with their agenda. The Greek Golden Dawn traces their roots back to the Metaxas dictatorship in the late 1930s to the Nazi collaboration during the occupation in WWII. Now, it looks like the USA’s Tea Party is starting to use the Brown Shirts and Golden Dawn playbook and even the conservative party of England is getting on the bandwagon. It is the whole oligarchies against the proletarian class. It’s warfare: the money against the workers. The stupid people who think they belong with the rich are just bought and brainwashed. This is where the oligarchies find their troops. If these wannabe rich people would just step back and take a real good look they would soon find out that they are fighting against themselves. The oligarchies are buying countries one at a time and here in the U.S., it is one state at a time, then one city at a time and even counties until they have the whole country. And there are plenty of soulless people willing to sell their souls for the money the oligarchies pay, just look at Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, Paul Ryan, Rand Paul all these sellouts have benefitted from government programs and pay checks, but want to prevent others from doing the same. These people and the mainstream media are why the oligarchies have a very good start in owning this country, and the other countries. These oligarchies and plutocrats rely on the ignorance of the common person to do their bidding. That’s why you see the Tea Party with their signs with misspellings that makes most teachers cringe in horror. We must first realize that this is their end game and that it has happened before and it can happen again. Then we must get ready for battle. We know we cannot spend our way to victory, but we can out man them by organizing more people, the working and nonworking people. Don’t forget to include the retirees who depend on Social Security and Medicare, and the low-wage workers who need the $15 to $16 an hour wage just to live on. When our enemies see other countries using austerity to beat back the wage slaves and take away pensions and healthcare, then the Tea Party GOP think they can do it here. This is a real threat to our way of life for us and those to come. It is up to all of the 99% to get on board this train for it is pulling away fast and soon you will find yourself standing on the railroad tracks watching the caboose fading from view. This is the last train out of poverty for most. Do not be fooled by those screaming that benefit and work programs are bankrupting this country. If President Franklin Roosevelt hadn’t had the intelligence to create the New Deal with work programs, this country would have never recovered from the first Great Depression. If President Bill Clinton hadn’t done similar programs, we would not have recovered from the Great Recession President Ronald Reagan and President George H W Bush created. If you know your history, people can’t win you over with their lies when they try to manipulate you into doing their bidding.

Now is the Time to Prepare

I hope that I am wrong, but what I see at this time is our unions are going to be in the fight of their existence. This is the most perilous time of our life. The life we had is threatened like never before. Unions are the largest organized group of people who can save our country if things keep going the way they are heading at this time. We need to all stand together for power, but we each must prepare and plan to take care of ourselves and our families. We can fight the big fight and not be distracted by worry about things that can and should already be taken care of. For instance, stashing at least one month’s pay and at least a month or even a year’s worth of food, whether the food is staples (pasta, rice, canned goods) and meat or chicken in the freezer. Keep your vehicles' tanks full and if possible a gas can full. It’s in your best interest to also save money for house or rent payments plus extra. This is not new thinking for us old trade workers who had to prepare when...

We Are the Power

Looks like there is hope for the union workers and our country for the union people who believed Trump’s lies, who now know that he was just full of bullshitting all of you. He said the he would bring more work to this country, but took away money from job projects, and the ones that were too late to stop, Trump put his name on it and is taking credit for the work done. Trump is not a union supporter and the people who work for him do not support unions either because they all get their money from big corporations, who are notoriously anti-union. The entire GOP is bought and paid for by large corporations, such as Home Depot, Walmart, Chamber of Commerce and many other nonunion selfish companies. We all have a chance to change things and take it all back if we dare by voting blue in the mid-term elections. If we vote for things that are what we really need like healthcare, good pensions, living wages, voting rights, more affordable housing, and rent control. In other words, let’s get a...

They'll Be Coming For All Of Us

Yes, they are coming for us. Workers need to have one another’s backs because no one else will. Neither the broader labor movement nor the Democratic party are prepared to meet the urgency of this moment. So it’s going to fall upon the rest of us to mount a real resistance against Trump’s authoritarian takeover. We’re going to have to get our hands dirty. I don’t care if you have a good, well-paying union job and you are in the middle class now—if you see a worker being dragged out of his workplace regardless of how skilled the job and potentially taken to another country, you should be ready to be there for that worker. When I.C.E. shows up, gather around and shame them into leaving. It has worked in other places. America is sleep walking into authoritarianism, and if there’s anyone out there who is a member of a labor union that is safe—at this point— and doesn’t think this applies to them. Understand that they just haven’t gotten to you yet. They’re coming for all of us. There are ...
