Is Trump the Silver Shirts' Leader

Will Donald Trump be the leader the right wing GOP has been waiting for to lead toady’s version of the America’s Silver Shirts? Silver shirts was based on Nazi Germany’s Brown Shirts. Trump has already gotten the support of the White Supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan and all the closeted angry racists of the GOP party. Remember, people laughed at Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini and said the two would never come to power. We all know the horror and terror they wreaked upon the world. If the U.S. doesn’t wake up this country could very well see the same thing happen here. The Silver Shirts were America’s answer to the Brown Shirts, same kind of ideology, same kind of entitlement over others and same kind of twisted propaganda that unsuspecting people fell for. There could be small revolutions fighting against terrorism—in all its forms, ethnic-type of discrimination, or even the young, disenchanted low-wage college people who have huge debts but low-wage jobs. The young who bought into the “American Dream” and did what they should have done to get ahead not realizing the oligarchies stacked the deck against them. And the young people who are victims of “poverty draft,” those who go into the military believing it is the only realistic option for getting a higher education, receive veteran benefits and better their lives, but the GOP refuses to pass any legislation to repay these government personnel for their service. Remember, most of these service members will come back trained in warfare so we here better have something for them to continue bettering their lives, like being in a union that will continue their upward mobility. If not, they will either end up on the streets or blindly following Trump and his Silver Shirt-types. The blame will ultimately be on the voters. This election could be the most important one in the last 60 or 70 years. Trump vs Sanders, one’s policies could last five to six years and one, like Sanders, could last for 100 years and save the country or even the world, like President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s. GOP supporters love their Medicare and Social Security, but they are so ignorant that they don’t realize these programs were not only passed by a Democratic president, but are considered socialist programs. The Affordable Care Act is a way to control or prevent insurance companies from gouging people, it is not Obamacare giving away free stuff. These people also think Trump is a good businessman. He is not. He inherited his wealth, but has failed to really build upon what his father gave him. Trump’s rhetoric on immigrants is ignorance at its most hateful. Everyone one of us is an immigrant to this country and our foreparents were greeted by the first Americans. It took all of us, immigrants and native born, to build this country to its greatest achievements, but its decline lies at the feet of the greedy GOP and the likes of people like Trump. All one has to do is look at history to make the right decision on who to support and who to vote for. I think our unions are slowly making the right decisions on these choices.

It's Time To Pick A Side

It’s time to pick a side. You want to have and keep unions with good wages and pensions, then it’s time to pick a side. You want to keep Social Security for yourself and family, it is time to pick a side. You want to get or keep Medicare and Obama’s Affordable Care Act, then it’s time to pick a side. It is us against the billionaires. The very rich got that way off the backs of workers, and now want to strip everything away from those workers. It’s time to pick a side. The very rich can buy countries, then make the people get on their hands and knees and grovel and beg for scrapes that usually go into the dumpster. It’s time to pick a side. Is this what we want for our family and our future? It’s time to pick a side. Get ready to fight for you and your families’ lives. There is no middle ground with these greedy people for they want it all—all the money—all the power—all the land so where does this leave us when they have all the commons, like water, land and airways? It’s time to pick...

Time for an Offense

There are three phases of a general strike and unions must plan for one. Those three phases are: 1. general strike in an industry 2. general strike in a community 3. general national strike We need to move away from being on the defensive and move toward a good offensive. The American Federal of Labor (AFL) could not have held a general strike if it wanted to because they had thousands of different contracts that expired at different times of the year. This was done deliberately so that there is no consolidation of power for a general strike. Also, nowadays, there is no law agency that will support labor, except the National Labor Relations Board (NLBR), which has been under attack and in decline for years. This leaves the burden of change up to unions, and unless unions work together, little will change. We essentially have a combination of job trusts, which are not as strong as contracts, and the courts can break easily because the NLBR will be further weakened and essentially elim...

Senator Bernie Sanders & Team

The AFL is with Senator Bernie Sanders and it is the people’s only chance to push back against Elon Musk, who wants to dismantle our government. Musk family is said to have left South Africa because they could no longer exploit The native/black Africans so he bought Trump and now he’s laying waste to America in the name of progress. With Senator Sanders’ leadership and backing of all labor unions, we could put together the whole of 99 percent of the people and beat back the 2 percent destroying we what once had and stood for while also saving Social Security, healthcare for all, elder care, child care, while working on the climate change crisis (we are running out of time, as the weather is showing us). The workers need to go big, such as a four-day work week like other countries have; universal basic income (UBI) and Medicare for all for unhoused people, which would help get them off the streets. UBI goes right back into the local economies, which supports jobs for the other working p...
