Jeff Mackler wants the elimination of the military budget, the nationalization of the energy and banking industries, open borders, the creation of a state-run health-care system, and the end of capitalism in the United States.

I think you can go further left infinitely.

There will ALWAYS someone saying something wackier than the last nutjob leftist said.

I’m working on an equation to prove it’s infinite.

“A lot of that comes from my background—there are issues that as a black person from the South and a queer person, I don’t think are reflected in politics,” he said, also citing the need for more focus on generational justice and the rights and representation of young people.

I love these terms the Leftist come up with; First ‘Social Justice’ and now “Generational Justice”

Generational Justice is that one generation dies and the next gets its time in the sun. Anything else is a power grab by government.

But judges take an oath to administer justice “Without regard to persons”.

Bernie Sanders is ‘’too far right’’? Jesus Christ. So what does that make Vladimir Putin?

Whatever happened to “a nation of laws and not of men”?
We apparently have become a nation of toxic white men vs people of color vs women vs transwomen yada yada.
IOW, Genesis 11:1-9

Amazing how the media protects the Democrats whose hatred of Negroes created this perversion of a basic tenet of law.

Damned!. Jeff Mackler is back in the news after all these years. Met him when he was a key Socialist Workers Party (Trotskyite) leader in the late 60s/early 70s. When the SWP broke up (I miss Peter Camejo and Harry “The Worm” Ring), he went over to “Socialist Action” an organization/publication made up of old Trots and a few free-floating reds.

Kazin, at GTU - an old SDS organizer in the 60’s. Deemed a historian of the Left and some of his stuff is pretty good.

Monica Moorehead - Trotskyite/now Stalinist-No. Korean brand, bunch of commie psychos. I knew a number of their leaders. Could have just as easily been members of the Manson Family or the Jeffrey Dahmer Dinner Party.

I remember when she wasn’t a fat slob. Oh how time has not been good to her. Too much free govt cheese I guess.

There actually is an existing Social Democrat Party of the US still in existence. I knew their leaders when they were actually half sane and some were actually pro-America.
Now they meet in Starbucks, all 7 of them. Oh how their revolution has gone south.

It is true - old Reds never die; they just smell that way! Just get close to Bernie Sanders and you’ll know what I mean.
