Criticize Clinton, but Beat Bush, Manning Marable, 1992
Vote for Harris, because Trump. Vote for Clinton, because Bush. Manning Marable shows when it comes to right-wing Democrats, it’s deja vu all over again.
Going into this Biden administration, I specifically detailed what would come of it if he won. From analyzing his cabinet picks and his own past history. While I was essentially correct, I doubt many would actually think how horrible he would actually become. Particularly his rapid mental deterioration. At least they, for the most part, have kept him from children. More so though, his expansion of supporting and funding yet another genocide campaign on Palestinians that is so widely and clearly being observed on social medias and independent news sources. The witnessing of this terroristic, atrocious, campaign by so many on video of live coverage. Now having moved into Lebanon also. You can go either way with that. His history of support for Israels decades long genocide campaign, or the addition of with Ukraine.
As predicted before hand, it won't stop there either. As Netanyahu attempts to draw the US and other western nations into a full blown middle east war. The US already with troops on the ground there and the Navy. Be assured, CIA and MI6 are, probably have been for a while, present and already helping. We're potentially looking at another Iraq where our own can be sent into a ground war built for ruling class profits. Excuse me! Further, expanding, ruling class profits. Senseless murdering of our own again! And so many thought Biden cared about us! Or the world in general. As the numbers in Ukrainian deaths are in the 100s of thousands since he has been in office. While that fascist government continues to target civilian populations also.
{Of course, it is not difficult to be “more radical” than Kamala Harris, a figure who, true to the right-wing Democratic Party she represents, stands far to the right of Ronald Reagan. She is also currently presiding over the expansion of fascism at home and imperialism and genocide abroad. Why should we believe, then, that, once in office, Harris – who, to date, has received endorsements from Wall Street, Dick Cheney, and a large number of former staffers from the George W. Bush regime – would suddenly find her “radical” self and open up space for humane policies and radical programs?}
Like Biden did before hand, Harris projects all the qualities of being the same type of puppet for the ruling class Biden has been for 5 decades. Continuing to move the country further to the right, and more fascistic, if that's even possible now.
{Barack Obama, who Davis characterized as a figure who was able to mobilize and inspire young people, certainly didn’t. Davis, somewhat quixotically, acknowledged this fact during her remarks at La Fête: “When Obama was elected, that was a very important victory,” she stated, but “it was not a victory in relation to what he actually accomplished during his presidency…” It is significant that she doesn’t acknowledge that Obama’s “victory” was really a victory for Wall Street, its oligarchs, and US imperialism. If she had, she would not have turned around and endorsed an even more belligerently right-wing Hillary Clinton in 2016.}
{Davis is not that naïve. She knows full well that she is asking us to settle for a Democratic party that gets more right wing and more fascist by the year. So, then, what’s the point? Vote for Kamala because she’s not “the person leading the Republican Party” with the hope she will open up a space for “anti-capitalist and anti-racist programs” when Davis very well knows that she will not?
It doesn’t make sense. It does, however, encapsulate the kind of twisted, pretzel logic that the Democrats have been pushing every four years for the last few decades. A logic that people like Davis, and their unthinking minions, have accepted and deployed. Vote for Harris, because Trump. Vote for Clinton, because Trump. Vote for Obama, because Bush. Vote for Clinton, because Bush.}
These unthinking, pretzel, brain minions, despite which establishment party they vote for, are helping to lead us right into a world catastrophe. How many more decades will it take to apply some critical thought towards this and they finally recognize the reality? Elections? We probably don't have another decade! In case no one is paying attention, the world has gone to shit beginning primarily in 2016, falling into hell in a hand basket since. On every aspect of an even decent working society.
I'll let you go on to read the rest of the article. While I leave you with some relative statements below from over a 100 years ago by Vladimir Lenin. This is where we stand today. We're looking at the world being partitioned out again. And it isn't going well for the western nations. BRICS is winning the hearts of those who have been victimized for multiple centuries. If you've recognized how bad it has gotten over the past 8 years, and it's bad if you haven't been observing the world in general especially, it's about to get a lot worse. Below is what unthinking brains will bring us. Two world wars eclipsed these time eras for the reasons below with partitioning results behind them. BRICS has all the numbers behind their structured agenda that will not allow the west to be on top this time. That means one or two things. Drop the hegemony agendas and be a partner with the world, or another world war before being forced into such. We don't have much time. Chose wisely! Think!
Imperialism is a specific historical stage of capitalism. Its specific character is threefold: imperialism is monopoly capitalism; parasitic, or decaying capitalism; moribund capitalism. The supplanting of free competition by monopoly is the fundamental economic feature, the quintessence of imperialism. Monopoly manifests itself in five principal forms: (1) cartels, syndicates and trusts—the concentration of production has reached a degree which gives rise to these monopolistic associations of capitalists; (2) the monopolistic position of the big banks—three, four or five giant banks manipulate the whole economic life of America, France, Germany; (3) seizure of the sources of raw material by the trusts and the financial oligarchy (finance capital is monopoly industrial capital merged with bank capital); (4) the (economic) partition of the world by the international cartels has begun. There are already over one hundred such international cartels, which command the entire world market and divide it “amicably” among themselves—until war redivides it. The export of capital, as distinct from the export of commodities under non-monopoly capitalism, is a highly characteristic phenomenon and is closely linked with the economic and territorial-political partition of the world; (5) the territorial partition of the world (colonies) is completed.
Vladimir Lenin
America simply became a colony of that structure. It has never changed either. We're still a colony and still being exploited. More now than ever as the potential of another world war is being tempted.

The difference between the democratic-republican and the reactionary-monarchist imperialist bourgeoisie is obliterated precisely because they are both rotting alive … Secondly, the decay of capitalism is manifested in the creation of a huge stratum of rentiers, capitalists who live by “clipping coupons”. … Thirdly, export of capital is parasitism raised to a high pitch. Fourthly, “finance capital strives for domination, not freedom”. Political reaction all along the line is a characteristic feature of imperialism. Corruption, bribery on a huge scale and all kinds of fraud. Fifthly, the exploitation of oppressed nations—which is inseparably connected with annexations—and especially the exploitation of colonies by a handful of “Great” Powers, increasingly transforms the “civilised” world into a parasite on the body of hundreds of millions in the uncivilised nations. The Roman proletarian lived at the expense of society. Modern society lives at the expense of the modern proletarian. Marx specially stressed this profound observation of Sismondi. Imperialism somewhat changes the situation. A privileged upper stratum of the proletariat in the imperialist countries lives partly at the expense of hundreds of millions in the uncivilised nations.
Vladimir Lenin
These statements from over 100 years ago are vastly still relevant to today. So much so that they have now also monopolized the control of information you are allowed to observe. In efforts to prevent us from understanding this reality and apply it to your freedom of a personal view. They want us monopolized too.

In short.
The "West" is those Western European nations who colonised the world thus dominating it. They always competed for dominance and in 1991 a clear winner emerged, a new singular imperial power with no competition: the USA. They controlled the world through currency. They rapidly expanded.
They weaponised this currency to advantage themselves, bypassing the UN in sanctions and military intervention ie destroying the UN. BRICS was formed to counter all this with the empire's behaviour encouraging its rapid growth. So 2 choices for the USA; join BRICS or defeat them.
The West, full of hubris, has chosen conflict over negotiation to incorporate BRICS it seems. The last European colony is called Israel. The legacy of Western rule.
The new world war, if it happens, will start and be over the "West" defending their colonial legacy aka Israel. Or else over resistance to the Empire's continued expansion aka Ukraine.
To fight for the Western nations is to defend what they have become, what you correctly point out is somewhat fascist. This is something not worth defending imo. The world won't be destroyed, but the American empire will be.
I choose BRICS. I like variety in nations and culture. Don't like imperialism.
No brainer really.
And I see Albo has ordered the Hezbollah flag fliers be unmercifully hunted down. I hadn't realised that it had been outlawed along with the 3rd Reich's swastika. When will he prohibit this flag associated with hundreds of thousands if not millions of genocidal deaths, dismemberment, starvation, psychological torture, displacement & other atrocities like rape & pillage, infanticide & humiliation? It grossly offends me.
See also my posts "Do you know these 5 things about the Israeli assault on Lebanon?" & "Netanyahu propagandising at the UN."
A recent reply to Flyingsaucesir should also interest you h it's on I think the Carlin post about America & its citizens.
