Power

Posted on December 18, 2020 by camelotkidd

Last week I stated that the Democrats are not the party of the Left. Instead, their job is to prevent a real party of the Left from coming to power. To put it in crude sexual terms–they are a cock-block. … Continue reading →

Life on the Left

Posted on December 12, 2020 by camelotkidd

I’ve criticized liberalism enough that I should probably unpack my version of the Left. Hint–it’s not communism. Marx, as an economist was a trenchant and amazingly accurate critic of capitalism but his blueprint for utopia, at least as enacted by … Continue reading →

Lies on top of lies

Posted on October 9, 2020 by camelotkidd

For the last 40 years we’ve been told lies on top of lies and we can’t process them anymore without losing our minds. Indeed, what we witnessed the other night at the presidential debate is evidence that America is suffering … Continue reading →

Enclosure

Posted on September 23, 2020 by camelotkidd

  Capitalism requires the enclosure of the commons. The reasons are twofold. The first is straightforward primitive accumulation, whereby the commons (land, and natural resources) are seized through force. This process is essential to the creation of capitalist surplus, or … Continue reading →

Neither New nor Liberal

Posted on September 11, 2020 by camelotkidd

Thomas Frank’s The People, No, is an amazing guide to our political milieu, tracing the history of populism from the 1890’s to the era of Trump. Frank examines not only the history of populism but that of anti-populism, especially as … Continue reading →

So much winning

Posted on August 7, 2020 by camelotkidd

I must confess to getting a key point completely wrong. Last week I claimed that we’ve had an unbroken string of elite failure, but that’s not correct. Their failure only effects us. For them, it’s so much winning. Allow me … Continue reading →

Year Zero

Posted on July 31, 2020 by camelotkidd

One of the strangest things about Trump’s election victory is that 2016 became Year Zero. Everything bad with America began at that point and no history is allowed before. This willful blindness has the considerable advantage to our feral elite, … Continue reading →

Opaque

Posted on July 16, 2020 by camelotkidd

I’m re-reading Matt Taibbi’s, Hate Inc., and enjoying it even more than the first time. Written as an update to the classic–Manufacturing Consent–it’s a great primer on media malfeasance and how we came to have a con-man as our president. … Continue reading →

Color Revolution

Posted on June 19, 2020 by camelotkidd

The recent Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests have got my spider sense tingling. After studying regime-change operations for decades I know one when I see one. Going further, this looks to be a continuation of the deep state coup that … Continue reading →

Political Codependency

Posted on June 12, 2020 by camelotkidd

Both of our political parties use race to take advantage of their constituents. The GOP scares lower-class white people to vote against their class interests by invoking the specter of “big-black-bucks purchasing T-bone steaks with food stamps”, or something. The … Continue reading →
