we need to fundamentally restructure our economy and re-establish popular control over the private corporations which have distorted our economy and hijacked our government. That’s a long-term job, but one we should start now.

Popular control over private corporations? Besides Obama and FDR, when did this happen before?

Before WWII there was a large fascist movement in America on the east coast. They would meet at Madison Square garden all dressed up in NAZI uniforms and it was a sellout crowd.

FDR even liked Hitler’s form of government.

I however will not survive in a fascist country, just me.

Yeah, that’s the solution. Have the unions take control. Right. They’ll represent the populous. Look how well they represent us in the schools and the auto companies.

Buy stock. It’s good for the workers, good for the economy and good for capitalism for the laboring producers to have a share of ownership and a legitimate voice in running corporations. Maybe not so good for the class warfare model of labor relations that is the Big Labor model.

Trumka is the head of a private corporation. I propose we string him up first ~ just get that stuff out of the way right now.

“The people” could simply buy stock and attend the stock holder meetings - fact is, that is exactly what happens.

If we truly had a pro-American media this would be front and center in the news cycle. This is an egregious thing to say, and is totally at odds with the principles on which this country was founded. It’s also an oxymoronic comment. When entities are under ‘popular control’ they are no longer ‘private’. We have to defend ourselves against dangerous ideologues like this guy. I’m sure there were moments just like this in Russia before the Bolshevik revolution, and in Germany in the mid-1930s. We ignore this stuff at our own risk.

I think everyone should be able to vote in any union election.

“Before WWII there was a large fascist movement in America on the east coast. They would meet at Madison Square garden all dressed up in NAZI uniforms and it was a sellout crowd.”

Especially strong in New Jersey, there was the German -American Bund party, and they had fascist campgrounds in the NJ mountains.

Take a look at his picture. He looks exactly like a Fascist Commissar. And the name Trumka?
