The big lie we've been sold is that we're on the European Political Axis in the first place.

The 6% of Republicans she likes, the press, Megacorps, academia, the think tanks and the Left all think the People are there to be controlled and the only discussion that's relevant is over precisely how much they delegate to their rich, company-owning totalitarian friends. "Marxist" only focuses on part of the problem - the entire axis is a problem.

Note that this is pretty much the same 'wrangling over reins of power' since before the 'Merchant Princes' - it's just the labels that have changed.

Trump and the 94% of R's aren't even on that axis. Something about "Consent of the Governed" and designing a system that's fundamentally supposed to be aimed at keeping the boot off our neck.
