Disrupt Trump Inauguration By Dan Murphy Rod Stewart sang, “Some guys have all the luck, some guys get all the breaks.” The same can be said for Westchester Democratic Chair- man Reginald LaFayette. Reggie, as he is better known, has served for more than 30 years in Mt. Vernon and West- chester politically-appointed positions. For the past 17 years, he has served as the Democratic commissioner at the Westchester County Board of Elections. This is one of the most sought-after “political” positons in the county, and Reggie has sat in that position since 1999, collecting a $155,245 salary, benefits – and very light work- load. Most public servants or political hacks, whichever you prefer to call them, have been happy to wait until retirement and step down from the BOE and collect their healthy pension.

    THE ALEX JONES RADIO SHOW LISTEN NOW WATCH NOW WATCH LIVE BREAKING STORE FULL-PAGE NY TIMES AD DEMANDS ANTIFA REVOLUTION TO OVERTHROW TRUMP Coup against Trump ad appears in NY Times’ national edition Kit Daniels | Infowars.com - NOVEMBER 1, 2017 2332 Comments The New York Times published a full-page ad calling for a “revolution” to overthrow President Trump on Nov. 4. The ad, which appears near the front of the newspaper’s national edition, demands nationwide protests that won’t stop until the Trump administration is “driven from power.” “Join with the thousands who will gather in cities and towns across the country,” reads the ad. “A movement of protests that continue every day and night, growing until we become millions… determined now to stop until this regime is driven from power.” The ad was written by Refuse Fascism, a communist group funded by George Soros which took responsibility for shutting down a conservative event hosting journalist Milo Yiannopoulos at UC Berkeley in Feb. #Antifa buys a full page ad in @nytimes calling for overthrow of Trump!

The Times was already under fire for its bias against the Trump administration as revealed by a series of sting videos produced by Project Veritas, which caught the newspaper’s editors discussing how they help set up the media’s anti-Trump narrative.

  • Libertarian Marxism Mao-Spontex Open Marxism Popular Assembly Sovereign Citizen Movement Spontaneism Sui Iuris
    Autonomist Marxist Theory and Practice in the Current Crisis Brian Marks1 University of Arizona School of Geography and Development [email protected] Abstract Autonomist Marxism is a political tendency premised on the autonomy of the proletariat. Working class autonomy is manifested in the self-activity of the working class independent of formal organizations and representations, the multiplicity of forms that struggles take, and the role of class composition in shaping the overall balance of power in capitalist societies, not least in the relationship of class struggles to the character of capitalist crises. Class composition analysis is applied here to narrate the recent history of capitalism leading up to the current crisis, giving particular attention to China and the United States. A global wave of struggles in the mid-2000s was constituitive of the kinds of working class responses to the crisis that unfolded in 2008-10. The circulation of those struggles and resultant trends of recomposition and/or decomposition are argued to be important factors in the balance of political forces across the varied geography of the present crisis. The whirlwind of crises and the autonomist perspective The whirlwind of crises (Marks, 2010) that swept the world in 2008, financial panic upon food crisis upon energy shock upon inflationary spiral, receded temporarily only to surge forward again, leaving us in a turbulent world, full of possibility and peril.

  • DRIVE out the TRUMP/PENCE REGIME! the Trump/Pence Regime Is a Fascist Regime
    A Call to Action: In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE To Accept a NO! Fascist America! DRIVE OUT THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME! The Trump/Pence Regime is a Fascist Regime. Not insult or exaggeration, this is what it is. For the future of humanity and the planet, we, the people, must drive this regime out. Donald Trump and Mike Pence have assembled a vicious cabal that has put forth positions and begun initiatives which demonstrate that they fully intend to shred political and social norms with catastrophic consequence. Because Trump has his finger on the nuclear trigger, the Trump/Pence Regime is more dangerous to the world than even Hitler. Fascism has direction and momentum. Dissent is piece by piece criminalized. The truth is bludgeoned. Group after group is demonized and targeted along a trajectory that leads to real horrors. All of this has already begun under the Trump Regime. History has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late. Millions of people, outraged by this regime, took to the streets delivering a stinging rebuke to Trump the day after the inauguration. Protest and resistance continues against the many attacks on the people by the Trump/Pence administration. This must grow broader, deeper, and more determined. This resistance is righteous and necessary, but it is not sufficient. We must recognize that the character of fascism is that it can absorb separate acts of resistance while continually throwing the opposition off balance by rapidly moving its agenda forward. The Trump/ Pence Regime will repeatedly launch new highly repressive measures, eventually clamping down on all resistance and remaking the law… IF THEY ARE NOT DRIVEN FROM POWER.

Myers, Maia Ferdman, and Ann Major March 2021 This report is a follow-up to the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy report from November 2019 All is Not Well in the Golden State: The Scourge of White Nationalism in Southern California Preface In June 2020, the Luskin Center for History and Policy released a report “All is Not Well in the Golden State: The Scourge of White Nationalism in Southern California.” Produced by a team of undergraduate researchers from UCLA, the report provided extensive background to and mapping of the rise of extreme white nationalist activity in the region and state. Since the release of that report, there has been a marked uptick in white nationalist activity in the national sphere. The tumultuous final month of the Trump presidency, especially prompted by the false claim of a stolen election and culminating in the January 6 Capitol assault, pushed from the margins to the center of public attention a loose coalition of far-right actors, often motivated by conspiracy theories such as QAnon, some of whom are intent on violent insurrection. The highly polarized political climate—and even extremist expressions—have now made their way to college campuses in the United States, including to UCLA.
