Areas of concern to me even of a sort of MAGA Trump "revival" of what people found worth voting for, is-----really----still...... government. Too much, too authoritarian, too much "the answer". We do not need, or want, a strong leader overturning our system and rearranging the deck chairs. Our system, is.... indeed...... sinking. In sailor's language, too much baggage. If we start throwing stuff overboard, we can possibly save it. I mean the idea of liberty.
Electing people who are willing to trim government federally and build it more locally, state county and town.... would help. But when the idea is to just have government doing everything, the people just can't function. Redjucing government would be required at all levels.
Of course, the Cloward-Piven "strategy" is in full application right now, and it is widely or importantly the intention of critical political players at present. But these are the people who are actually against most aspects of human liberty, regardless of all the false claims. The goal is fascism. I know a lot of people are Marxist believers, but Marxism is a false flag for Fascism. Always has been, always will be. Just the idea of an absolute government even in some idealized "transition" is mumbling insanity. That "Revolution" has never, and indeed fundamentally cannot ever, produce any kind of stable conditions, any ideal of human relations or governance.
It is just human nature to grab the power and use it. So every nation where communism ostensibly has been "achieved" became a totalitarian and a fascist state where all the power pools in the hands of a few, just as surely as every historical government has gone into the hands of authoritarians, autocrats, then kings.
The only way to avoid this deplorable result is to set up a "Constitutional" limited government on a federal sort of "Republic" where local power matches national power.
We have a long ways to go to achieve a real "Constitutional Republic". We never really had it. Not all that surely.
We could not embrace the Cherokee and allied nations as a State even when they were highly literate, industrious, and a match for our English settlers. We could not embrace freeing the slaves and giving them political power in any State. We could not embrace the Plains Indians and establish an actual State government for them.
Today, the thoughtless, or possibly..... much worse.... destructive..... use of Marxist race strategy to divide America along racial identity issues is going to damage the rights of everyone, to the gain of the authoritarian governancers. A formula to impoverish us all, and make slaves of us all.
No one who schemes to gain absolute power really cares about "the people". The methods used to achieve it might be to first destroy a powerful wealthy class, so the rhetoric goes more to Marxism...... or enlist the uncomprehending enthusiasm of a mass base, so use a Fascist rhetoric. But the end is always the same. Claims of socialists to care for the people are followed by regulation and limitation of people's coices until we end up just the same as peasants huddled under some damn Lordy's castle wall.
Any kind of strong government is going to destroy people's liberty and prosperity.
It follows then that the only right way to color a political spectrum is with regard to human liberty and government accountabilkity.
It is freedom or slavery.
