The latest details, concerning preparations for the fascist dictatorship, have recently come to light. The journalists have managed to get their hands on a questionnaire, reported to be ‘’created by Trump allies’’, to be used to ‘’determine the suitability of people who can serve in the next Trump administration.’’
The purpose of the questionnaire, is to select ‘’suitable’’ people, for the ‘’bureaucracy’’, within the anticipated Trump administration. These people must be loyal only to Trump, devoted followers, prepared to cater to his every whim. Such people are known as ‘’sycophants’’, commonly referred to as ‘’yes people’’.
In the interest of bringing all members of the working class ‘’up to speed’’, I should mention that the technical definition of a sycophant, is ‘’a person who acts submissively towards someone important, in order to gain advantage’’.
The question that has horrified so many people, is the following: ‘’The president should be able to advance his own agenda, through the bureaucracy, without hindrance from unelected federalist officials. Agree or disagree.’’
This mention of ‘’unelected federalist officials’’, is a none too subtle reference to the American judicial system! All federal judges, including those on the Supreme Court, are appointed! They are not elected! They are part of the judicial system, which serves to ‘’act as a brake’’ upon the ‘’power of the executive branch’’ of government! Meaning the President! This is commonly referred to as a ‘’guardrail’’ of democracy! Yet Trump wants to ‘’advance his own agenda, without hindrance’’, from those judges!
The only way this can happen, is by scrapping the Constitution! This is the very thing Trump plans to do, on his first day in office! He even stated that he plans to ‘’act as a dictator’’, on his ‘’first day in office’’!
His former personal lawyer, who says he ‘’knows Trump better than anyone else’’, says that Trump is not joking! In his opinion, on his second day in office, Trump will declare himself to be king, or ‘’Fuhrer’’, and demand everyone swear allegiance to him, and even give a straight arm Nazi salute!
A great many middle class Americans, those who consider themselves to be ‘’proud conservatives’’, are now actively opposing this attempt to establish a fascist dictatorship. This is an indication of the strength of the revolutionary movement. It has reached even into the highest levels of the middle class.
For that reason, a very conservative lawyer for the American Bar Association has convened a ‘’Blue Ribbon Task Force For American Democracy’’.
The goal of this Task Force is to ‘’preserve and protect our democratic institutions’’. Further, it is reported that ‘’numerous State Bar Associations, as well as the Urban League, and various professional people, are also involved.’’
Once again, in the interests of bringing the members of the working class ‘’up to speed’’, I will mention that a ‘’Blue Ribbon Task Force’’ is defined as ‘’a group of exceptional people appointed to investigate, study or analyze a given question.’’
The fact that they refer to themselves as ‘’exceptional people’’, is merely an indication of their high opinion of themselves! Such people tend to be supremely arrogant!
Even though these people are very conservative, or ’’Right Wing’’, they have taken a progressive stand. For that reason, those who are Scientific Socialists, Communists, can support them, on this particular issue.
It is reasonable to expect that working with these ‘’exceptional’’ people, can be most tiresome. Perhaps those who are working with these middle class professional people, can take some comfort in the fact that they hate us, every bit as much, as we hate them!
The class struggle is not a ‘’bed of roses’’! There are times when it is necessary to ‘’form temporary alliances’’, with those who are at best ‘’unreliable’’, according to Lenin.
Then again, such support must be conditional upon being able to express our Marxist beliefs, including that of Revolution and the subsequent Dictatorship of the Proletariat. If that is not possible, then any alliance, however temporary, is out of the question.
This Task Force is of the opinion that ‘’the judiciary is our last best hope for saving our democracy’’.
Such is hardly the case! Yet it is very likely that these ‘’exceptional’’ middle class professional intellectuals, are not capable of understanding the class struggle! For that reason, they cannot possibly understand that our ‘’last best hope’’ for ‘’saving our democracy’’, is the working class, the proletariat!
It is necessary to raise the level of awareness of the proletariat, and any court challenge can help to serve that purpose. The press, especially the ‘’Leftist’’ press, which is very active on various web sites, must cover these court challenges, in great detail.
That being said, it is encouraging that the ‘’exceptional members’’, of this ‘’Blue Ribbon Task Force’’ are determined to fight the multi billionaires, as they try to establish a fascist dictatorship.
As that is the case, may I suggest that ‘’the best way to kill a snake is to cut off its head’’!
Half measures get us nowhere! Prepare to go straight to the Supreme Court, to defend the Constitution! Challenge the 2020 federal election, on the grounds that it did not follow the procedure laid out in the Twelfth Amendment! Further demand that the forth coming 2024 federal election, follow that procedure!
The ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, have subverted the Constitution, through their creation of the ‘’Two Party system’’. As a result of this -illegal!- Two Party system, the Electors are now forced to choose between two older men, both of whom may be suffering from ‘’cognitive decline’’, commonly referred to as ‘’dementia’’.
Mental illness is not a joking matter! The brain is an organ of the body, and it is subject to illness, as is any other organ! Just as no one should laugh at a heart attack, so too, no one should crack jokes about mental illness!
It is the Two Party system that is the problem! That is Unconstitutional! It is also enabling the multi billionaires to establish a fascist state! Or at the very least, they are making a supreme effort! They must be stopped!
By Constitutional law, it is up to the Electors, who are appointed by the states, to vote on one ballot for the person of their choice, for President, and on a second ballot, to vote for the person of their choice, for Vice President. There is no mention, in the Twelfth Amendment, of any political Party, District, popular vote, or ‘’running mate’’. Further, the states have no right to meddle in a federal election.
Under the Two Party system, a ‘’popular vote’’ takes place, in which all American citizens are allowed to vote for the candidate for President, and his ‘’running mate’’, of either the Democratic Party, or of the Republican Party. This popular vote is not mentioned in the Twelfth Amendment! It is a mere formality! It has no legal standing!
Then the votes of these citizens are counted, and based on the results of that popular vote, the Electors, of that particular state, are forced to vote for the President, and his ‘’running mate’’, as Vice President.
This procedure is completely Unconstitutional, as the states have no right to meddle in a federal election!
If the multi billionaires have their way, at the time of the 2024 election, the Electors will be forced to choose between Biden and Trump. This is strictly Unconstitutional!
If the Two Party system is challenged, before the Supreme Court, no doubt it will rule that all federal elections must follow the procedure laid out in the Twelfth Amendment. At that point, the Electors will be allowed to vote for any candidate, of their choice, for the office of President, as well as Vice President. No state will be allowed to force any Elector to vote for any particular person. All state laws, which require an Elector to vote for the candidates of one of the major political parties, will be struck down as Unconstitutional.
Such a Supreme Court ruling is sure to ‘’throw a monkey wrench’’ into the plans of the multi billionaires! Their plans, for a fascist dictatorship, relies upon the election of a candidate, of one of the two political parties, as President!
No doubt, among the ‘’exceptional’’ people on this ‘’Blue Ribbon Task Force’’, there are a great many lawyers. Those who are experts on Constitutional law, should prepare the arguments, to be presented before the Supreme Court. In that way, the next federal election can be legal, truly democratic, following the procedure laid out in the Twelfth Amendment.
It may be objected that not all members of the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, are determined to establish a fascist dictatorship, with Trump as the dictator. In fact, a ‘’major conservative’’ organization, ‘’Americans For Prosperity Action Group’’, has just endorsed the former Governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, as the Republican nominee for president. According to their web site, they state that they plan to ‘’turn the page on the current political era’’. They go on to state that, ‘’Trump and Biden had their chance, they can’t fix what is broken, it’s our time to choose a new leader who will unite our Party, our Nation’’.
The fact that this ‘’Action Group’’ is endorsing Nikki Haley, is significant. The reason I say this, is because a multi billionaire is behind this Group! Perhaps the monopoly capitalists are ‘’covering all the bases’’, if you will excuse the sports metaphor. Just in case the common people turn against both Biden and Trump!
Under a fascist regime, the figurehead dictator is not important. The important thing is to have a proper ‘’state apparatus’’ set up. They made this quite clear, in their statement: ‘’It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration.’’
The ‘’governing agenda’’ is to scrap the Constitution, on the first day of office, of the next President! They have already planned, in advance, the goals of the first six months of the anticipated fascist administration! This resembles more of a military campaign, than a political platform!
As that is the case, perhaps it would be best to respond to this attempt at establishing a fascist dictatorship, in much the same manner, as we would respond to a war. After all, it is a war!
The key to winning this war lies with the working class, the common people, the proletariat. We have got to raise their level of awareness, or at least that of the most advanced workers, to that of the level of Scientific Socialists, Marxists, Communists.
At the same time, we must not ignore the less advanced. We must prepare literature -and even videos!- for the common people, those who have embraced MAGA. Both literature and videos must be presented in a popular manner, without being condescending, and by no means vulgar. It is not the fault of countless common people, that they believe the lies of the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires!
In the case of videos, it would be best if Leftist celebrities, the more popular the better, presented the facts. In an entertaining manner, of course. That is where Leftist writers come in, with perhaps a little song and dance routine. That is entirely up to them. No doubt, the common people will love it. Education through entertainment!
In response to the multi billionaires, and their plan for a fascist dictatorship, we must have our own plan:
Prepare For the Dictatorship of the Proletariat!
