You Can’t Shame The Shameless Black Misleadership Class

December 19, 2020 Glen Ford, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Black misleadership class, Democratic Party, Joe Biden

The Black Misleadership Class continues its descent into utter political irrelevance, dragging 48 million African Americans ever deeper into the abyss with them. Like a soap opera whose central pathologies endure through decades of changing casts of characters, the misleaders cling to their demeaning subservience to the Democratic Party in hopes of one day becoming honored and respected partners. The Black supplicants are always betrayed, of course, but prefer a bad marriage to no relationship at all. Indeed, the Black misleaders and the Democrats have been locked in what Malcolm X would describe as a house Negro/slave master relationship for so long – certainly since the late Sixties – that the Black junior partner knows no other way to behave.

Chris Hedges: The Collective Suicide Of The Liberal Class

December 7, 2020 Chris Hedges, ScheerPost.com. Educate! Democratic Party, Joe Biden, Liberal class, Neoliberalism

Liberals who express dismay, or more bizarrely a fevered hope, about the corporatists and imperialists selected to fill the positions in the Biden administration are the court jesters of our political burlesque. They long ago sold their soul and abandoned their most basic principles to line up behind a bankrupt Democratic Party. They chant, with every election cycle, the mantra of the least worst and sit placidly on the sidelines as a Bill Clinton or a Barack Obama and the Democratic Party leadership betray every issue they claim to support.

Scheer Intelligence: Don’t Believe Anything You Were Told About Populism

November 20, 2020 Robert Scheer, ScheerPost.com. Educate! Democratic Party, Podcast, Populism, Republican Party, Trumpism

The word “populism” gets a bad rap these days as corporate media warns of its alleged dangers and President Barack Obama goes so far as to blame Sarah Palin for its recent rise. But, according to Thomas Frank, the founding editor of The Baffler and author of What’s the Matter with Kansas and his new book, The People, No, a detailed account about the history of populism in the United States, true populism is a force for good, not evil. On this week’s installment of Scheer Intelligence, the journalist and historian joins Robert Scheer to discuss in-depth how the Democratic Party chose to quash populism, while the Republican Party decided to use its stripped-down ideals for its own nefarious means.

Senate Democrats’ New Climate Report Disappoints

August 30, 2020 By Marlee Kokotovic, Nation of Change. Educate! climate crisis, Congress, Democratic Party, Fossil Fuels

Senate Democrats released a climate action report earlier this week leaving green groups, environmental activists, and progressive campaigners disappointed. Critics of the report are saying there is not nearly enough action involved to fight the threat of global heating that is caused by human activity. “The report fails to address the vital need to end the extraction, processing, and burning of fossil fuels, and instead sees a future for fossil fuels tied to the false promise of carbon capture.”

DNC Featured Native Speakers But Their Issues Remain Under-addressed

August 23, 2020 Jen Deerinwater, Truthout. Educate! Democratic Party, DNC, Indigenous Sovereignty, No DAPL

The various caucus meeting speakers repeatedly stated that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be good for Indian Country. Some Native people are skeptical, though. Harris has a record of going against the sovereign interests of California tribal nations. Many Native people haven’t forgotten the broken promises made by the Obama-Biden administration. Not only did the administration advance the Keystone XL Pipeline, but it also sat silently for months as Native people, accomplices and media were arrested, brutalized, and physically and sexually assaulted while trying to defeat the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL).

The Black Caucus And The Dictatorship Of (White) Capital

August 4, 2020 Glen Ford, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Democratic Party, Elections, Militarism and War, Progressivism

What makes the U.S. “chattering classes” so worthless is their refusal to talk about anything except those subjects that are approved for public discourse by the Lords of Capital, as certified by the high priests of corporate media. If the chattering classes were permitted to discuss truly important subjects – such as, Who Rules? -- their yammering might hold some social value. However, the obvious fact of corporate dictatorship is also the great taboo. When the overarching reality of our times – the Dictatorship of (White) Capital, from which all of the planet’s existential crises flow -- is verboten

Beware Of Right Deviations That Have Emerged From The Crisis Of US Imperialism

July 10, 2020 Danny Haiphong, Black Agenda Report. Educate! COVID-19, Democratic Party, Libertarianism, US Imperialism

The events of the last three-plus months have exposed another political trend to be wary of. COVID-19’s devastating impact on the United States coupled with an economic collapse and a mass uprising against racist policing has activated a long-standing political tendency within the imperialist world: libertarianism. Libertarianism is often viewed as an anti-government, pro-capitalist ideology that worships the free market doctrine of Adam Smith. However, such a definition does not consider the racist context of the United States. Libertarianism, like all capitalist ideologies, is bound with white supremacy. Libertarians oppose the predations of monopoly capital in words but become most active in their hatred for Black people. While neoliberal Democrats and corporate “resistance” forces have decried the rise of the so-called alt-right throughout the Trump era in part to avoid accountability for their role in the American Nightmare, libertarian forces have played a problematic role in promoting political confusion and racist demagogy over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic with little fanfare.

The Democratic Party Exists To Co-Opt And Kill Authentic Change

June 15, 2020 By Caitlin Johnstone, CaitlinJohnstone.com. Educate! Congress, Democratic Party, Propaganda, Rebellion2020

The entire role of the Democratic Party is to enthusiastically agree with American support for movements calling for real changes that benefit ordinary people, while making no actual moves to provide no such changes. The actors read the lines but remain motionless. Barack Obama made a whole political career out of this. People elected him because he promised hope and change, then for eight years whenever hopeful people demanded changes he’d say “Yes, we all need to get together and have a conversation about that,” express sympathy and give a moving speech, and then nothing would happen. The actors remain motionless, and Godot never comes.

As Biden Racks Up Delegates The Crisis Among Black Folks And Democrat Party Deepens

March 14, 2020 Ajamu Baraka, Blackagendareport.com Educate! Black Working Class, Democratic Party, Electoral Politics

Biden wins key state of Michigan and the Democrat Party establishment can barely contain its joy. I am happy also but for a different reason. No matter what happens with this twisted Democrat Party nomination drama, I welcome this period as a period of absolute political clarity. Why? Because for the internal debate and struggles among Black people...

Why Are Democratic Candidates Taking Money From Union-Busting Lawyers?

February 8, 2020 By Andrea Beaty, Counterpunch.org Educate! 2020 Elections, Democratic Party, Electoral Politics, Money in Politics

The Iron Workers Union endorsed Joe Biden last week, citing his dedication to “defend rights and jobs of American workers”, and calling him “a friend to union ironworkers”. The union endorsement marks one of many that Democratic candidates are fighting for by unveiling detailed labor plans and promising to overturn “right-to work laws” that weaken unions.

MLK And The Black Misleadership Class

January 19, 2020 Glen Ford, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Democratic Party, Martin Luther King, militarism, Poverty, Racism

The birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is commemorated each year at thousands of events in literally every U.S. city, yet the martyred human rights leader’s political philosophy is totally absent from the agenda of today’s Black Misleadership Class, a grasping cabal of hustlers and opportunists that have grown fat and infinitely corrupt through their collaboration with “the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism.” Their “freedom train” was the Democratic Party, the half of the corporate electoral duopoly that allowed colored folks to ride as first-class passengers – as long as they didn’t question the schedule or the destination. The budding Black misleaders hopped on board the Democratic Party express to the boardrooms of corporate power at about the same time that Dr. King was making his definitive break with the evil “triplets’” infernal machinery, including both corporate parties.

Democratic Debate Interrupted By Protesters Calling For Firing Of NYPD Officer Who Killed Eric Garner

The opening statements at Wednesday’s Democratic presidential debate in Detroit were interrupted by demonstrators protesting the death of Eric Garner and NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo, whose chokehold killed the 43-year-old black man in 2014. During New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s opening remarks, the protesters began shouting “Fire Pantaleo!” The shouts grew louder a few moments later as Sen. Cory Booker spoke. “Last week, the president of the United States attacked an American city, calling it a disgusting, rat-infested, rodent mess,”...
