SHARE Sunday, January 3, 2021 What liberals need to understand (Response to Jimmy Dore)
The Finnish Bolshevik provides an excellent overview of the liberal mentality, its good points and bad points; essentially its dangerous limitations grounded in bourgeois delusions, opportunism, and plain political cowardice, all of which make most liberals de facto collaborators with the imperialist status quo.

Healthcare is a never-ending topic in capitalist nations, even those that seem to boast excellent systems with universal access guaranteed to all.

As man for whom the inner workings of the system hold no mystery, Gore Vidal has repeatedly warned the nation about the impending slide toward fascism with a presidential facade-the coup from within. His words and his special plea to pay attention to the neutralization of the corporate media are especially relevant in our age of runaway crony imperialism.
