The word "Capitalism" was a pejorative in origin and remains a pejorative. Corporatism and Socialism are the same thing; witness Ford and Fiat contributing to industrialisation in the Soviet Union and American "Capitalists" contributing to the Nazi indusrial economy. Take away the labels and just concentrate on describing Nazism, Fordism, Fascism, and Communism and you will find those descriptions converging. The same goes for our contemporary "isms". It is all the SAME nonsense on stilts.

Yep.

If truth/fact based subscription journalism didn't have the tiny toe hold it does there would have been no Twitter Files. DNC behavior during the Taibbi/Shellenberger Congressional hearings made it clear that the lie felt the blow. I watched a German film on Hanna Arendt and her reporting on the Eichmann trials last evening. The abdication of individual moral responsibility by the German people led to their submission to the Reich and ultimately the destruction of Europe. The little fire we're trying to kindle here is important. America, and the world, has entered a new age. I already support more truth/fact based journalist's than I can keep up with. But, there are good people doing the work and they deserve the support. I'm trying to see with new eye's even though the story we're witnessing is as old as time. Besides, we all know, nobody get's out alive. Glad you're there. Keep on rockin'.
