In this week's Wolff Responds: Professor Wolff discusses how the establishment fearmongers the public with labels to avoid discussing the real issues with Capitalism.
I ignore words like socialism, communism, neolibralism. I simply believe that tax dollars should be spent on improving the lives of US citizens. This creates more industry, and greater tax dollars.
Imagine tax going toward health care, education, roads, transport, infrastructure!
Instead the USA is a "make money through WAR" nation -- not a citizens HEALTH, HAPPINESS, and PROSPERITY nation.
1. Impoverished working class
2. Endless war thanks to Israel and a Congress that profits from the armaments industry.
3. Militarized police
4. Largest prison system in the world
5. Corporations legally exploit the vulnerable
6. Wealth transfering into the billionaire class. Vanishing middle class = only the uber wealthy and the poor (the rest of us).
7. Legislative bodies, courts, & media all hostage to corporate power.
8. Unaffordable health care, housing, medications, and education.
9. Non-living wages.
10. Student debt. Many nations have free college education but they don't pay for Israel's bombs or their health care.
11. Increasing environmental damage and degradation. Global warming.
We need people like the mayor of NYC to run the nation.
trillion dollars in the last 25 years and the results speak for themselves one of them killing stealing and destroying those evil communism I don't know what we going to do with them
Both the Dems and the GOP have promoted the current system where more and more money goes to war. The only thing that's gonna break that is a real leftist political movement.
The Scandal of Silence: Kinship, 'Asabiyyah, and the Collapse of Courage
Every passing day of destruction across Gaza and Lebanon lays bare an inexcusable moral calamity: the total, shameful paralysis of the surrounding Arab world. To watch a slaughter unfold on high-definition screens while possessing vast economic reserves, strategic choke-points, and geographical intimacy is not diplomatic restraint—it is a betrayal written in the blood of the innocent.
It is basic common sense, rooted in natural law and explicitly affirmed in classical Islamic jurisprudence, that moral duty radiates outward from blood and proximity. Kinship creates priority. In Islam, one's primary obligation of devotion, service, and protection is owed to one's own mother, not the mother of a stranger. By that exact same logic, Arabs bear a far greater, more immediate burden of responsibility towards Palestine than any non-Arab nation ever could. Palestinians are not distant strangers; they are kinsmen, tied by blood, language, and shared heritage. To disavow that primary bond is to deny both basic human instinct and the fundamental ordering of divine law.
Yet whenever non-Arab scholars ('Ulama) raise their voices to issue solemn warnings, their admonitions are dismissively brushed aside. The corrupting poison of ethnic chauvinism—'asabiyyah—runs so deep that many refuse to heed counsel simply because it originates beyond their lineage. Have you forgotten the history of the very faith you claim? The greatest scholar of this Ummah, Imam Abu Hanifah (ra), the Imam al-A'zam whose legal genius codified Islamic jurisprudence for centuries, was himself a non-Arab of Persian origin. To reject truth and spiritual admonition on the basis of tribal pride while watching your brethren perish is a pathetic betrayal of the intellect.
Historians and scholars have long noted that when Allah chose the Arabs to carry the final revelation of Islam, it was not an arbitrary selection. They were endowed with specific fada'il (virtues)—chief among which were an unyielding, fierce bravery, chivalry, and an outright refusal to submit to dishonour. Islam took that raw Arab valour and consecrated it for universal justice. Yet today, one is forced to ask with deep anguish: how have a people who inherited such a legacy degenerated into absolute cowardice? You have clutched moral and political defeat from the very jaws of historic victory, contenting yourselves with helpless weeping and passive lamentation when bold, resolute action is demanded.
One shudders to contemplate how the noble Prophet (saw) would behold the current state of his people. To see those who speak his tongue standing idle while women and children are crushed under falling rubble—what a profound, unbearable shame. Edmund Burke famously captured the disgrace of such quietism when he noted:
'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.'
Yet forget 'good' men—there seem to be very few men full stop.
The Arab world today exhibits a stupor deeper than ordinary sleep; it is a condition less reactive than a coma. To inherit the greatest fada'il (virtues) and the most exalted lineage in human history, only to exchange them for helpless tears and quiet submission, is a tragedy beyond words. For the love of God, wake up—before history records your silence as the final, disgraceful end of your honour.
American public is slow as f***anytime you got to BEG millions of people to stop being bent over, or should I say convince them they are bent over, all I can say is SLOW THAN A MUG 🤔😜

TLDR dude
Happy end times everyone.
long story short racism is expensive those countries have that because it's only one nationality

I like the appellation 'lame' as a modern pejorative. It fuses 'vacuity', 'ineffective', and 'dated'.
The word socialism really turns people off before they even know what it’s about. I don’t even like the word. Time for a better word
when did sanity become the devel on steroids, huh?
Don't insult the Danes saying they have Medicare for all - Medicare has a 20% co-pay. They don't have that.
