| [American Thinker] A truly evil cabal has taken control of the Democrats. It took effect when the pact between the Sen. Joe Biden camp and the Sen. Bernie Sanders camp was signed in July 2020. The pact was a 110-page position paper on many national issues of concern to both men. Although Bernie had caucused with Democrats in the Senate for years, he was elected to office in Vermont under the rubric of "Democratic Socialist." He usually justified that rubric as not being "communist" because he said he was a "non-authoritarian socialist" (sic). This clever manipulation of language could not, however, hide the reality that his lifelong views were derived from Marxist critiques of capitalism. His bombastic rhetoric was largely taken from the Marxist playbook of criticisms of capitalistic Western culture. And, in fact, when Sen. Sanders married in the 1980s, he and his wife honeymooned in the USSR. Compare Biden's willingly uniting with Sanders with Harry Truman's wing of the Dems that refused to ally itself with the Henry Wallace wing of the Democrats in 1948. Henry Wallace was an eccentric Democrat who had served as the secretary of agriculture under Pres. Roosevelt, and as V.P. during most of WWII. However, his excessive sympathy for Josef Stalin and the communist rule of the USSR created considerable suspicion among the Democrat Senate leadership, and FDR replaced Henry Wallace with Harry S. Truman as his V.P. in the election of 1944. FDR won that election and died the next year, and Truman became president of the USA. Truman did not try to conform with Wallace in 1948 and did not try to "build bridges" with him, either. Wallace instead ran against Truman as the Progressive Party candidate for president, resurrecting the name of the party from the earlier movements by that name in both the Democrat and Republican Parties in the early 20th century. Wallace's use of the term "progressive" was intended to deflect against legitimate concerns that he was a stooge for the U.S. Communist Party. The platform of the Progressive Party had statements that certainly stoked this concern. The platform said, "If peace is to be achieved, capitalist United States and communist Russia must establish good relations and work together." Another statement that appeared in the Progressive platform stated, "The move to outlaw the Communist Party is a decisive step in their assault on the democratic rights of labor, of nations, racial, and political minorities." And lastly, the Democrat decision to rebuild West Germany as a bulwark against communism was distorted to state, "The use of the Marshall Plan to rebuild Nazi Germany [sic] has a war basis ... [and is intended] to subjugate the economies of other European countries to American big business." Thus, our legitimate concerns about the ideological and military expansion of the USSR was distorted by Wallace's naive leftist vision. Truman, in a surprise victory, defeated Thomas Dewey, the Republican candidate for president, and Wallace received less than 3% of the votes cast. |

| #3 In the reality with the incoming total breakdown of the economic and political systems in the US there are opportunities for a mass anti government anti war, anti capitalist movement that have not been seen in generations. The seditious civil servants are using psychological media tactics to program pessimism in the population for just this reason. |

| #1 It's an aberrant version. The original template was for the working class to form the core of the movement. Here its the limousine and parasite classes that are the core of the party. |
