“The worker who votes the Republican or Democratic ticket does worse than throw his vote away. He is a deserter of his class and his own worst enemy.” Eugene V. Debs
The internet doesn’t naturally create these monopolies. These corporations bought their place on the market by cutting losses every year for well over a decade until they just outpaid and outresourced everybody else. Big money behind them, is why they got so big. Not because that organically happens […]

History has been forgotten. Nobody seems to know what ‘Fascism’ actually is, or was, or means. And the word has degenerated into little more than a slur. Today though I’m going to use historical sources to accurately define what Fascism was, place it within the context of history, […]
