Trump capitalized on a very old current of politics that had been germinated by the Tea Party and the more nativist elements in the Ron Paul presidential campaigns. Ronald Reagan was being fascistic by launching his 1980 campaign in the Oxford fair on a states rights platform. Sarah Palin teased at fascism with her bizarre antics in 2008. Fascism in all political analyses today is divorced from its identity as a colonial project, first and foremost, because liberals are trying to avoid their culpability. b) Are the Democrats going to do jack about reigning in the free-roaming fascists of the white nationalist/alt right variety that have been carrying on like maniacs for the past decade now? -All signs point to no. Obama expended far more police state energy on Occupy Wall Street than the Tea Party and Cliven Bundy. I'm not commenting on choices one makes in electoral politics as much as the fact I do not see any serious effort from Democrats to come soon. Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Monty Python's Partisans, farting mightily in the general direction of Trump, have squandered 3 years on Russian boogie men and nonsense that I have seen do absolutely nothing to benefit the poor BIPOC kids I work with in Providence public schools. FFS,, the activism I do in Providence is 90% against racist asshole Dems who are absolutely culpable for collaboration with mass-incarceration, school-to-prison pipeline, police brutality, and privatizing the commons under the austerity reign of terror. c) Does Sanders or Howie Hawkins present a viable project that is building a movement that will oppose these fascist forces? ...To be continued. I was active with the Hawkins campaign for a few months but it really has been limited by an intransigent, anti-Howie RI Green Party that doesn't do more than hold meetings in big rooms at libraries where 3 hippies show up. The Sandernistas never come out for urban struggles. I'm not holding my breath on this one. -- Best regards, Andrew Stewart -- Message: 8 Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2019 08:14:18 -0400 From: Michael Meeropol To: Louis Proyect via Marxism Subject: Re: [Marxism] A Long, Weird Convo with the Hardline Trotskyist Running a 2020 Campaign That Makes Bernie Look Centrist - VICE Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" as usual, (sorry see like a one-trick pony!), the question that needs to be posed to all on the left -- especially those who don't want any support for democrats in the Presidential election --- is do you think there is a qualitative difference between a re-elected Trump and any of the democrats who would replace him?

[Marxism] Blame lawyer Roy Cohn for Donald Trump’s nasty political tactics, documentary says
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, SEP 29, 2019 | 6:58 PM Blame lawyer Roy Cohn for Donald Trump’s nasty political tactics, documentary says By STUART MILLER Never admit mistakes. Always attack your accuser. Win no matter what. Gloat when you do. Roy Cohn is considered one of the most malevolent forces in 20th century America. He helped convict and execute accused Soviet spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. They were prosecuted by Cohn and executed for treason in 1953. He was a driving force behind Joseph McCarthy’s anti-Communist and anti-homosexual witch hunts. He represented Mob bosses. He broke the law repeatedly and was finally disbarred. He took public stances against gay rights bills but was in the closet himself and died of AIDS after public denials. Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story of Roy Cohn, directed by the Rosenberg’s granddaughter, Ivy Meeropol [Michael's daughter], premiered at the New York Film Festival on Sunday. It will run on HBO next year. Its debut comes less than 10 days after the theatrical release of Matt Tyrnauer’s documentary, Where’s My Roy Cohn. The impetus for both filmmakers was the election of President Donald Trump, who embraced Cohn as a mentor and relied on him as a lawyer for more than a decade starting in the 1970s. Echoes of Cohn’s antagonistic style can still be heard in Trump’s choleric rally speeches. “When Trump was elected, Roy Cohn moved into the White House in a way,” Meeropol says. “I wanted my film to focus on Cohn, but I was intent on exposing Trump.” “There's an urgent need for this now, examining Cohn's life and career turns out to be essential,” says Tyrnauer. “Trump swallowed Cohn whole.” Both films document how Cohn’s mob connections helped Trump build Trump Tower, while Meeropol also reveals how Cohn first promoted the idea that the young real estate mogul could best negotiate a nuclear arms deal with the Soviet Union. They share similar focal points: Cohn’s McCarthy-era posturing and the trouble he brought upon himself and how he later used his societal clout — what Tyrnauer calls “the favor bank” — to strike at his enemies and protect his friends and himself. Both films were released with impeccable timing: on Friday, the FBI released its bulging dossier on Cohn, which details a fascinating trove of salacious connections. The Cohn files don’t mention Trump, then just a building developer, at all. The movies, Tyrnauer says, aren’t in competition. “We can’t have enough films and books about Cohn,” he says. The biggest difference is personal. Meeropol's film naturally focuses more on the Rosenberg case and its impact on her family. “The biggest challenge was finding the right balance,” says Meeropol, who previously directed Heir to an Execution. “I did not want my family to dominate Cohn's story but I did want to put a human face on something Cohn had done to real people.” Meeropol’s coup is an interview with lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz says Cohn told him that in the Rosenberg case, “We tampered with the evidence in order to persuade the judge and the jury.” Julius had never provided critical information during his spying and Ethel was flat out not guilty, the lawyer says. “I don’t think we’ve ever had a miscarriage of justice that parallels the Rosenberg case in my lifetime,” Dershowitz concludes. Her film’s name comes from a patch on the AIDS quilt in the Washington Mall that Meeropol saw by chance in 1988. Calling the closeted Cohn a victim sounds strange but Meeropol wants people to think about “how societal bigotry and repression victimizes people everywhere.” “And anyone who died of AIDS is a victim,” Meeropol says, adding that putting Cohn in that category would have infuriated him. It’s a fact — like the idea that Trump abandoned his mentor upon learning Cohn had AIDS-—that she knows viewers may find satisfying. “He was vicious and a hypocrite and people may say he got what he deserved." _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
