But seriously, Trump lied about protecting LGBTQ rights, and I hear he wants to overturn democratically achieved marijuana legalization in states. Maybe its just a way to exert revenge, because marijuana is a big cash crop and has improved the economy where ever it occurred. |

Trump has stopped tweeting!!! A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST 5 DAYS.
betsy DeVos wanted to maintain trans rights in schools to prevent the harm to trans kids, but was threatened to get fired so she allowed it. Tough choice: my job vs. harm to trans kids. Hmmmmm. |

The future?? Obama budgeted $1 trillion to upgrade America’s nuclear arsenal while uttering polite words about “non-proliferation” for the media. Trump doesn’t bother with the politeness, and he also seems to have no objection to Obama’s “Pivot to Asia” plan to attack China. Indeed, he shows signs of wanting to speed it up, just as he is doing with Obama’s war on immigrants. I’m not sure why Trump objects to the Obama-led, mostly bipartisan plan to also attack Russia. This plan is apocalyptic lunacy, of course, but that doesn’t seem to faze Trump or any of the other capitalist rulers of today. Germany has announced a significant expansion of its military, and its tanks are now rolling into Eastern Europe for the first time since World War II, but this time accompanied by American tanks. As far as I can tell, this is the only reason the New York Times is running articles with titles like “How Can We Get Rid of Trump?” |

Song: Any war, against Russia, China, ISIS, the Confederacy, etc, is mostly designed to funnel taxpayer $$ into the hands of the Owners of the military industrial complex. We saw this when $Billions of taxpayer $ went to Halliburton and Blackwater and Haliburton.
And possibly grab the oil, a war crime Trump said he wanted to do .... |

about irrational voting
Are we completly rational when voting ? this question is nagging me.
You may not be aware that we are going to elect the president of France in April. So ? Well I think my vote is going to have strange features: - My favourite has never held any elected office (bad: I have the greatest respect for most elected officials) - He is just making vague promises ( will they be implemented ?) - He is trying to make everybody happy ... so makes promise to the left and to the right (so you are pleased with things that match your preferences). Being a member of the bourgeoisie (yes Song ![]() - the funny thing is that I start to be irrational: I don't want any more to hear critics of "my" candidate (though many critics are certainly valid!) So casting "crazy" ballots may be, after all, very common ![]() (I have an excuse: I find all other candidates unpalatable)

They’re a bit like Communist Party USA- the ones who obeyed Stalin’s orders to support the Democratic Party. A few members of CPUSA were Japanese-American, and when president Roosevelt had them detained and sent to his camps, CPUSA proved its loyalty by suspending their party membership! Until about that time, CPUSA had been waging a heroic struggle against lynching in the South, but this campaign had to be suddenly abandoned so as not to embarrass the Democrats, who were the party of the Klan at that time. |

Like our favourite bear, I would never even think about voting for them on a national election, but locally 100%. Edit: added a link Last edited by pierrox; 2017-02-28 at 04:49 PM. |

What I meant to say before was that the PCF is communist in name only, like CPUSA, but much larger, and it has the same strategy of supporting capitalist politicians with the excuse that they are somehow a lesser evil: Jacques Chirac, John Kerry, Obama, Clinton, etc. There was, however, a PCF mayor in Saint-Denis a few years ago who named a local street after America’s most famous political prisoner. That was a courageous thing to do, and I imagine it must have made a lot of people very happy. What you guys say about the PCF being a tool for local governance within the capitalist system is interesting. I wasn’t aware that its role had been so carefully designated, but it makes sense, now that you mention it. The US also sometimes has local government officials who belong to various "third parties," though not very often. |

every year we meet, drink, play music and remember the days when we were students (50 years ago
![]() as usual someone sings the "brainwashing machine" song... the tradition is more than a hundred years old! and then I suddenly realised that reality is more extraordinary than fiction: the play where the song appeared is UBU ROI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubu_Roi ) and it was performed in 1896! Now everything can happen: surrealism is real! ... How many countries will be governed by copies of "père Ubu"? (or "mère Ubu" when it comes to France ![]()
