Will Trump bunker-bust the Marxist administrative state?

Can anyone dismantle the administrative state?

Only one president has had both the desire and opportunity to crush and disable the administrative state, but more importantly, end the Marxist dialectic that has infected and subsumed this nation and post-modern Western civilization.

Nixon wished to shrink the federal bureaucracy, but enemies inside the government would never allow him the opportunity, while Nixon himself, at the same time, enlarged the administrative state by creating the EPA. Reagan could have engineered the opportunity, but never gave his Office of Management and Budget director, David Stockman, enough power to go beyond just designing tax cuts and small-ball regulatory reform.

President Trump and his Office of Management and Budget chief, Russ Vought, have maneuvered and neutered the opposition, positioning the so-called government shutdown, allowing Trump and Vought to seize nearly unlimited Article II power and prerogative to eliminate half of the federal workforce and erase the bureaucracy to levels not seen since Calvin Coolidge.

If not Donald Trump, then who?

How did we get here? And why is this the moment to fulfill the counter-revolutionary dialectic reversing Karl Marx’s force of destiny?

Marx’s struggle actually wasn’t between the propertied class and the proletariat, according to the late sociologist Alvin Gouldner in his work, The Future of Intellectuals and the Rise of the New Class.

The proletariat were mere pawns in the real war for power between the property-owning class and the upcoming rival—the mercenary technocrat and intellectual class, as Professor Darren Stallof remarks in his YouTube reading of Gouldner’s argument.

[MarlonRando]

[Texas Eagle]

Let’s hope so.

[KingLudd]

He’d better start making hay before enough dems change their votes. The window is gonna close quickly.

[Kudsman]

Going to have redo all of education industry to rip Marxism completely out. Does the right control enough scool boards to do that? Heck do they even control one in the nation?

[PGalt]

There are so many evil individuals in FEDGOV, it is hard to eliminate them all. Thanks to President Trump and all who support his vision for MAGA.

They would control most of them if they would get off their lazy asses and vote in the school board elections ... and NEVER vote for a professional educator.

[TexasFreeper2009]

neither Reagan or Nixon had the congress to do what was necessary.

Can anyone dismantle the administrative state?

Sure, the American public. But the voters have been paid off significantly since the LBJ days by the ever-evolving uniparty. The real question is when the national debt will collapse along with 2.5 million excessively paid, unionized, fed employees paid on average over $100,000 a year.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

He’s going to have to fire, lay off or get to retire about a million workers to truly bunker-bust the administrative state.

1. immediate hiring freeze for ALL non Mil Gov.

2. mass layoffs/ firing/ RIF.

3. Once gov re-opens. Force ALL of them to reapply as new hire/ entry level.

4. ALL clocks reset. Salary, days off, pensions.

I think the shutdown may not be over as quickly as people think. It may, in fact, persist for quite some time and only be resolved when some fundamental change occurs. That may be the elimination of the sixty-vote cloture requirement in the Senate, or it may be the fracturing of leadership in the Democratic Party.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I think Trump is planning to cut the govt as much as possible. He knows if he doesn’t the next Democrat Administration will just rehire them.

nearly unlimited Article II power and prerogative to eliminate half of the federal workforce and erase the bureaucracy to levels not seen since Calvin Coolidge.

As the Beatles sang...Let it Be.

I get the impression we’re pretty quickly turning the boat around in Florida and Oklahoma, at least

Voting for the democrat and waiting for the gravy train but only the Socialism Special arrives.
