Russell “Texas” Bentley on the One Percent

____________________________________

The “murderous dictator” Fidel Castro Ruz provided free medical, housing, and education to all Cuban citizens, and did that whilst under an economic blockade by the world’s most powerful nation. The “madman” and “terrorist” Muammar Mohammed Abu Minyar Gaddafi used the wealth from Libya’s natural resources to provide free housing, medical care, and education to every Libyan citizen. He subsidised food and fuel prices (gasoline was 0.14 USD (9 Roubles. 1 Renminbi. 10 INR. 0.19 CAD. 0.19 AUD. 0.13 Euro. 0.11 UK Pound) a gallon) and electricity was free for domestic use. He also gave every newlywed couple a wedding present of 50,000 USD (3.21 million Roubles. 347,500 Renminbi. 3.41 million INR. 66,750 CAD. 67,200 AUD. 47,500 Euros. 39,400 UK Pounds), and a 5,000 USD (321,000 Roubles. 34,750 Renminbi. 341,000 INR. 6,675 CAD. 6,720 AUD. 4,750 Euros. 3,940 UK Pounds) birthday present to the parents of every newborn child. Think about that for a minute. In addition, don’t try to tell me that we can’t do it, because it has been. Some might say it only worked on a small-scale, for 11 million in Cuba and 6 million in Libya, but they conveniently forget about the USSR, which with all its imperfections did basically the same for hundreds of millions of people for generations. Therefore, yeah, it’s been done, and what’s been done once, can be done again. Moreover, this time, even better. There’s much that we can do, and much to be done, but the starting point is to understand the real conflict and who the real enemy is. The richest One Percent considers us as their livestock, their inferiors. They intend to exploit those of us who are profitable, and to dispose of the rest. They’re the true enemy of Humanity, and it’s up to us, the vast majority of Humanity, to understand this and to do something about it.

Russell “Texas” Bentley

This is an excerpt… the rest of the post is here, for those who wish to see the whole banana.

Editor:

I heartily recommend ANYTHING by Russell Bentley… he’s put his life on the line for his principles… unlike rightwing mercenary filth like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Rod Dreher, and Bill O’Reilly… all loudmouthed shills for war… all gutless yellow cowards who refused to serve their country (that’s right, none of them served in the forces… all of them earned the “white feather” for that). Bookmark this link and this one, and you’ll stay in touch with one of the heroes of our time.

Yes… the Affluent Effluent are our enemies, and the sooner that we realise that, the better off we all shall be.

I find the Green Party in the USA muted, a bit afraid to be fully socialist. However, that might just be me. James Connelly said:

Religion and race goes straight out the door when it comes to the struggle. If you advocate expelling one poor worker over another, no Christian are you.

I’ll add that the first Irish Socialists were often Protestant, so keep that in mind as well as Connelly’s influence on labour in Britain as a whole but, hopefully, in the USA as well. I’ll add this additional Connelly quote because it’s a wise one:

The day has passed for patching up the capitalist system; it must go. In the work of abolishing it, the Catholic and the Protestant, the Catholic and the Jew, the Catholic and the Freethinker, the Catholic and the Buddhist, the Catholic and the Mahometan will coöperate together, knowing no rivalry but the rivalry of endeavour toward an end beneficial to all. For, as we have said elsewhere, socialism is neither Protestant nor Catholic, Christian nor Freethinker, Buddhist, Mahometan, nor Jew; it’s only Human. We of the socialist working class realise that as we suffer together we must work together that we may enjoy together. We reject the firebrand of capitalist warfare and offer you the olive leaf of brotherhood and justice to and for all.

Labour, Nationality and Religion, in response to Fr Robert Kane’s lectures denouncing socialism, Catholicism and Socialism

Don’t Forget Standing Rock

Police are shooting rubber bullets and water cannon at the Standing Rock Sioux and peaceful #NoDAPL protesters in -3 degree (27 degrees Fahrenheit) weather. What’s happening at Standing Rock is nothing short of state-sponsored violence in the name of oil rights and corporate profits. The DOJ must immediately launch an investigation into the continuing human rights abuses being committed in North Dakota. Peaceful protest is a human right.
