A good description of how Marxism works in practice can be found in Michael Voslenski's, "Nomenklatura: Anatomy of the Soviet Ruling Class." And also to a lesser extent Hedrick Smith's, "The Russians."

From the number of down votes, doesn't look like many here like my geography. Whenever I hear Topanga, always think of the first scene in "Helter Skelter" where Charlie cuts that guys ear off with a sword. I'd be afraid to live in Topanga with all the wild fires in the dry season and with road closures due to mud slides etc during rainy season.

In the Southland, unless you could afford to spend a lot more than 590k you'd have to move to someplace 60 miles away like the Inland Empire and if you work in the LA basin, looking at several hours of commute time each way.

This sounds like what ACAB means in this instance.

590k in South LA and 510k in Inglewood are hardly "Manors" or "Luxury" properties. They are small homes in the hood. In the movie "Boyz n the Hood" that could have been either of the neighborhoods these homes are located. The hood essentially starts from a few blocks below the southern end of Hancock Park, so a few blocks below Olympic Blvd (Maxine lives in Hancock Park a block above Wilshire) or lets say Pico and if not Pico, then the 10(Santa Monica freeway) and runs for well over 100 blocks of hood south to Long Beach. A lot of people think USC is located in Watts but USC runs from around 30th to 38th and Watts is bounded by 92nd on the North. A good number of these small homes in the hood are rented out by slumlords for exorbitant amounts to around 20 often unrelated individuals (undocumented democrats.) You know something is up when in a single family home neighborhood where all homes have garages and driveways, one can drive around for blocks looking for a place to park on the street.

I know a ton of people in the Bay Area who would have voted for Trump who no longer vote.

"The bay area is one of the most leftist places in the country..."

And who would have predicted that given ...

From 1919-1971, Berkeley had 10 Republican mayors and one Democrat mayor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mayors_of_Berkeley,_California

Somewhat informative...

By what means will the ownership of private property be abolished before the next election, because that is what would have to happen for the USA to become a communist country.

"Under communism, there is no such thing as private property. All property is communally owned, and each person receives a portion based on what they need."

Isn't reparations the basic premise behind preferential discrimination in hiring and admissions though so called affirmative action, which I guess is now also referred to as diversity. And its been going on for about half a century.

Not sure which year those stats pertain; but I recall a T Shirt with similar statistics on it which some fact checker, can't exactly remember, maybe SNOPES, alleged were false, so I tried to find Table 14 for 2018-2019 and after converting the percentages in Table 14, the same stats as given above.

For 2018-19

59,778 Blacks were the victims of white violence.

547,948 whites were the victims of black violence.

At the time, it was written that they had both worked at the same bar, Floyd as a bouncer and Chauvin as a security guard, and must have known each other to a certain degree. Haven't followed the trial at all; has that been mentioned/explored.

President Trump post 2020 election exposed the election fraud that has always taken place in Dem strongholds, so that something could be done to address it.

One reason Australia has such low numbers is that they are in the Southern Hemisphere and their Fall academic semester begins in mid to late February. So when Australia banned travelers from China on Feb 1 2020, it prevented most of the 160,000 Chinese university students from entering the country and spreading the virus. Since the Winter semester at American universities begins between early and mid January, 370,000 Chinese students had already returned to the US from winter break when the travel restrictions from China took effect on January 31 2020. Ever wonder why Michigan was so effected: MSU has more Chinese National students than any other American university and UM is #5.

It's not only Dominion and it isn't exactly as if this is the first election impacted. Or that usually republicans have alleged to have had elections stolen due to electronic voting. Can recall posting on internet and old usenet forums on this topic as early as the 2000 election. There was discussion that Warren Buffet's control over ESS flipped 2012 to Obama. And the left thought 2000 and 2004 were stolen for Bush...

And note that from 2011-2020 Omaha World Herald was owned by Berkshire-Hathaway/Warren Buffet.

The Georgia Senate races were lost when Mitch decided to only offer $600 stimulus checks the week before the special election. Biden and Kamala then went down to Georgia campaigning for Warnock and Ossoff stating that if the Dems took the Senate, $2,000 checks would immediately be in the mail.

Most of President Trump's policies are being ripped to pieces by Biden undoing Trump's executive orders with his own. We have now learned the Barr DOJ was working at warp speed during the transition getting those orders ready for implementation on day one of the Biden administration.

The reason President Trump had to implement so much of his agenda by means of executive orders is because during his first two years when the Republicans had control of the House and Senate, Mitch and Ryan, blocked President Trump's agenda. They could not come up with 10 to 20 billion for a border wall that would save far more than that if one only considered annual k-12 education costs for children of illegal immigrants, yet now the Congress can print 1900 billion dollars as if it is nothing and are talking of another 3000 billion dollars.

Further, Mitch and Ryan allowed the ridiculous investigations into the Russia Hoax by both the House and Senate and approved the funding for the Mueller witch hunt for which there was Zero Evidence.

Where is the investigation into the Fraudulent 2020 Election for which there is a Mountain of Evidence; the Dems would never allow that when they are in charge.

Had Mitch and Ryan been on board with the MAGA agenda, President Trump could have dismissed Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein and replaced them with MAGA candidates and the Mueller Witch Hunt never would have happened or would have been shut down in its infancy.

It was the Russia Hoax/Mueller Witch hunt that damaged President Trump's and Republican's reputations, and was instrumental in the Dems taking the House in the 2018 Midterms after which President Trump could only enact his agenda by means of executive orders.

Not sure by what metric he proved to be a "terrible chief executive." Here are a dozen items just off the top of my head that would not have occurred without President Trump's leadership skills and ability to understand basic economic concepts of supply, demand, growth; taxation and government spending and their impact; effects of international trade when an economy has unemployment or underemployment(comparative advantage assumes full employment); fractional reserve banking: topics that past Presidents with no formal economics education, have not understood well enough to make rational decisions when presented with alternate choices by advisors.

  1. Unemployment was at 50 year lows before the pandemic.

  2. Working class income was rising for the first time in decades.

  3. The Stock Market had more than recovered from a deep pandemic crash and to new record highs in record time.

  4. Unemployment had fallen from an early pandemic high of near 15% to mid 6%.

  5. Lowered business income tax that made US competitive and helped bring foreign direct investment home.

  6. Eliminated a mountain of red tape federal regulations that constrain business investment and development in the US.

  7. Historic peace agreements in the Middle East.

  8. Stemmed the tide of illegal immigration and built 500 miles of new border wall.

  9. Country became self sufficient in energy production.

  10. Involved the country in no new foreign wars.

  11. Nominated hundreds of originalist judges.

  12. Multiple vaccines were developed in record time.

And all while having to deal with a Deep State, Uniparty and MSM cabal out to undermine his agenda and every move. He did such a poor job that 10 Million more people elected him to his stolen second term than had elected him to his first term.

Whether he runs will probably depend on the results of the 2022 Midterms. If the republicans take the house with a good umber of MAGA reps and stay close enough in the senate to take it in 2024 with new MAGA senators, he will likely run as there will be a chance to enact real and lasting change.

Election fraud has always taken place in Dem strongholds. A few days before the election, Robert Cahaly, the pollster from Trafalgar Group said he was concerned about Pennsylvania because there is so much cheating there that unless Trump had a 5% margin he probably wouldn't win.
