Radicalized Michigan Anarchist Seeks Unity With The Left.


The real struggle is between the ultra rich and everyone else, except perhaps their well rewarded servants in the media, political class, academia, military and police.


A highly unusual and extremely promising dialog initiated by a "far right extremist" as the corporate media likes to paint them hoping to unite working people of all stripes in an alliance between the left and the right, as this is not so much a struggle between the right and left as it is, in Jimmy's words, between the top and the bottom, the ultrarich 0.001% supported by their retainers, flunkies and protectors in the upper 10%, and the remaining 90% of the population practically abandoned by this ruling class. 


But the preamble to the above took place on Jan. 21, 2021, when Jimmy and his crew took notice of the following:

Populist Right & Left Joining Forces Against Establishment.


Jan. 21, 2021
 

A young man is reading a declaration in Michigan, at the state capitol. He says he belongs to the Bugaloo Boys militia. He says, "We're not the problem." He adds, "BLM, Antifa, the rightwing militias...we're the antibodies...not the disease that is destroying our country." The corporate media shills, the Wiki, and many leftists in the synthetic left and the usual smug but politically myopic Trotskyists, hurry to describe these people as dangerous extremists, "maniacs". Something "the left" should never talk to. Their behaviour is par for the course for people who have made a career of carrying water for the oligarchic status quo.  These days such disgusting type of intellectual mercenary is usually found among overpaid media "libruls" and the professional political class. 
This is the video where Jimmy began to discuss—with real hope and enthusiasm—the possibility of a tactical union between right and left activists interested in real social change. It looks like a chimera right now, and the forces of the establishment are powerful, ruthless, possess immense resources and are full of dirty tricks, but miraculous things can and do happen—sometimes. As the old cynics put it, "The Left and the Right united will never be defeated." Who in (or outside) the Soviet Union could have foreseen the implosion of this extremey powerful state even two years before it happened?
