Fascism originated with the Left, and I agree, we don't need any of that:) <BR/><BR/>My assertion that we need "Leninism" is based only upon the contextual extent to which Alterman defines it here. I believe that Alterman is referring to Nader supporters such as ourselves as "Leninists" to make the distinction between insufferable "I Got Mine" Liberal Democrats who are connected to the trough and the insightful rabble of departed Democrats who take issue with the ethically challenged, hubris ridden, corporate welfare crowd of corruption that the Democratic Party has sunk to. <BR/><BR/>Alterman's article erroneously suggests that for those (Nader supporters) who are not onboard with the neo-fascist corporate Democrats' co-opted Democracy which benefits only a few at the top, the Country will socially and economically be doomed to a pathetic state of national accountability and transparency. Shudders. <BR/><BR/>I have been to both big ticket Dem fundraisers and to big ticket Nader fundraisers, and there is a world of distinction between the 'tude in both crowds. <BR/><BR/>The smug, arrogant BS labeled as "neo-cool, frat-boy one world etc." of one and an intellectually honest yet truly pragmatically minded, no pretenses crowd in the other are worlds apart. Can you guess which is which:)?2Truthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621258620190540140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-946053768494236852008-12-13T23:00:00.000-08:002008-12-13T23:00:00.000-08:00I have to disagree with just one thing.

We don't need Leninism, the corrupt democrats you reference, like Gore, Clinton and the ones in Congress, Howard Dean and the rest, are employing Marxist/Leninist principles to destabilize our economy and collapse our economy from within.<BR/><BR/>Both the far right and the far left are exactly the same, the outcomes are no different. Fascism originated with the left.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I'm a life long liberal democrat, well I was until five months back when I reaffiliated as an independent. I'm one of those dems who fought for Al Gore through '99 and '00 and I now regret it, I was wrong, Nader was right. I voted Nader in this election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-65862962961768779132007-12-20T22:36:00.000-08:002007-12-20T22:36:00.000-08:00And when pancakes were dripping with syrup of sarc...And when pancakes were dripping with syrup of sarcasm of the loftier bygone days of fill in the blanks...:)2Truthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621258620190540140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-7675026923232516562007-12-20T10:25:00.000-08:002007-12-20T10:25:00.000-08:00I've kind of forgotten what life was like in the o...I've kind of forgotten what life was like in the old days. I think politicians should bring back higher wages and benefits for the working class just to remind us how miserable we used to be.Citizen Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481323943813270047noreply@blogger.com
