Same thing happened after the crash of 1929, the reds came back strong, survived McCarthy and gave us the 1960’s. The answer is to NOT CRASH THE MARKET!!.
If conservatives somehow feel that stock market crashes occur in the normal course of events, and that their cure is to be taken out of the incomes of the working class via austerity measures, then guess what- mass protests and possibly a general strike. Sure the commies are the vanguard element, but there are a lot of people hurting out there that will join them. That’s a no brainer.
Of course, if we had called for swift justice for the boardrooms of Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, the bond rating agencies, etc. for their ethics vacuum and endless quest for the fast buck, we might have taken the initiative here. Who were the idiots that repealed the the Glass Steagall act and allowed merchant banks to gamble depositors money on high risk “derivative instruments”? Why are we in bed with those boardrooms when they crash our economy in a time of war. They should be hanging from lampposts.
Dust off your aging John Birch Society pamphlets and find out who these banker peckerwoods really are.
But these bastards want to take down Capitalism itself. Not just rid the system of a few corrupt SOBs.
