One hears hierarchical characters such as the President and corporate-owned-politically-influenced MSM warn Americans against fascism.  One wonders where the warnings were about predatory capitalism that on a continuum seems to follow one of 2 paths; either fascism or organized crime.  Which system under which we suffer should be the conversation.

Former Representative Doug Collins on U.S. Politics and Divisions in Congress

Former Representative Doug Collins (R-GA) talked about political news of the day, former President Trump’s role in the Republican Party, and partisan divisions in Congress.—end of c-span info–
Rep. Doug Collins is bemoaning big government in a way that suggests he prefers oligarchy.  Considering Citizens United, he may prefer oligarchy.   Not wishing to put words in his mouth, one suspects he would object to that characterization.  One would wish an explanation from him as to the reason he would object, if he did.  But this is surely one’s personal opine.  The deflection from the Democratic/Republican duopoly, with one branch supporting big government and the other supporting oligarchy, which in 2022 are one and the same, ignores a government of, by and for The People.

The following editorial seems to be an opinion from a local citizen in the Southern Tier of NYS.
https://pressandsunbulletin-ny.newsmemory.com/?publink=175a1e608_13482f1           
The Southern Tier of NYS seems to be a hotbed of citizen responsibility.  Generally topics have included human rights issues along with attempts by local citizens to retain autonomy over personal local community living conditions.  Considering back, the issues of public concern are quite extensive and diverse.  Many of the topics are about fossil-fuel-industry intrusion, but also include a battery-burning plant approximate to family homes and a near-comical presumption by local law enforcement to place a shooting range among local citizenry.  Apparently when you’re a hammer, everything is a nail.
Another matter of protest has been on the topic of Columbus Day that has been an retail-promotion event in a region thought to be the origin of concepts for the US Constitution from the original inhabitants in the form of the Haudenosaunee.  Some of the protesters wore masks, kindling bureaucratic calls for a law prohibiting mask wearing…..until recently.  
Noteworthy is mention of use of Covid-19 federal funding that is earmarked to help renters, that may be diverted to the coffers of local municipality construction projects.  The Southern Tier has a strong history of bureaucrats using the wealth of the region to promote the interests of big-money rather than using local resources for local residents, in one person’s opinion.
NYS Sheriff’s associations have also incomprehensibly called for a “crack down” on “activists”.  Since much of protests in the Southern Tier of NYS is about local communities attempting to protect selves and nature against exploitation from big-money interests, relevant is the question of whether law enforcement is used to protect and serve local community members or to protect big-money interests as they go about the business of exploitation.
Kevin McCarthy has inadvertently raised the interesting new normal of censorship from commercial interests, which is legal as compared to censorship from government, on the topic of Marjorie Taylor Greene who was kicked off of a private-business forum of speech.  Even the bureaucrats are becoming confused, one may assume, between government censorship ad commercial censorship.  One still awaits an explanation of what he means, from Kevin McCarthy.
Which law will be used to confront said censorship; or will new legislation be passed on this problem?  It would seem the US Constitution isn’t worthy of sorting out this oligarchical conundrum.
Ability to find these stories byway of internet search is diminishing, but we seem to have a law in place that permits law enforcement to arrest a person on the basis of bad attitude.usttalk.blog/index.php/2019/12/05/broome-countys-censorship-bill-its-all-about-the-police/

The excuse that EMT and firefighters need protection against local community members seem to ignore the FACT that so many of local firefighters and EMT, often underfunded by government, are to a high number local-community-member volunteers.  Local-community members generally are grateful of our neighbors, family, members, and selves who are said volunteers.  Law enforcement may use this ruse without reason.
The topic of LNG in the Southern Tier has been one against which local -community members have objected about local fueling stations.  When a local-community public safety person called the trucks hauling LNG on our public roads among families, ambulances, public transportation and school buses, a local law enforcement officer warned said individual he could be labeled a domestic terrorist for using the phrase “bomb truck”.  Will this absurdity be labeled an annoyance by bureaucrats about which a local citizen could be arrested?
The cadre of people clutching their pearls over a change from fossil fuels to renewable energy seem to ignore that fossil fuel industries in the USA seem unpatriotic as they sell their product to foreign nations; most probably where most of US jobs were moved.  This seems indicative of oligarchy rather than adherence to precepts in the US Constitution.https://baytobaynews.com/stories/commentary-lng-exporting-is-on-the-brink-in-nj-port-proposal,67842?fbclid=IwAR35aCpNQjBUl53rMoES_RPOz_3nVbeFBMYm73NBqNDLUEBXi7tqxA24tS8  –The ships would pass many Delaware communities, including Wilmington, dense populations in New Castle County, bay-shore beaches, coastal wildlife areas and fishery hubs, and under bridges, exposing all irreplaceable assets to the danger of their hazardous cargo. Dubbed “bomb ships,” each of the marine vessels is said to carry the explosive energy equal to approximately 69 Hiroshima atomic bombs.–end of baytobaynews info–

Revolution In An Age Of Resurgent Fascism
Hitler was also inspired by the genocidal origins of the USA, the “cult of the covenant” at the core of our settler colonialism.   As such, Nazi fascism sought Lebensraum or “living space” in pursuit of their own version of the American Dream as “summons to empire” for war and holocaust.   Though fighting for bread and butter issues is imperative, especially in these times of profound crisis, the dream of universal middle classes masks a genocidal settler nightmare.  The actual alternative to resurgent fascism is not a more inclusive settler colony, but the proliferation of communal societies like what has repeatedly emerged from within sites of Indigenous resistance like Standing Rock, i.e. “caretaking relations, not American dreaming.”Water Protectors Lead A Movement To Close Navy Fuel Site After Leak

What Are The Lessons From The Trump-Backed Insurrection Of January 6?

In one person’s opinion, centralization is a primary support for the actuality of the “F” word.  In 2020, this hierarchical system that functions best when centralized is also a reason for Climate Change.  Climate Change is one manifestation, but also included may be exposure of humanity to other health concerns—–https://eand.co/ive-met-the-covidiots-of-2022-and-they-re-our-leaders-84ed9171108f 
Modern lifestyle is easier but deadlier.  Is the trade-off worth the cost, and shouldn’t we have transparency and discussion about this?  —   https://www.ehn.org/protecting-workers-health-2655944529/worker-health-protections
Some people who are working toward individuality rather than group think, are castigated by those who self-identify as individual minded, as they submit to the cliches of the “F” word.

This may be a reason the “F” word concepts work well in institutionalized religion.

WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FROM FINAL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE–end of lwv info–Murray Bookchin, who founded social ecology, a theory that strongly influenced early Green Socialist thought, strongly advocated the discussion and study group as the first step of any revolutionary movement. A group of individuals meets to expand their knowledge of radical thought and form a radical intellectual community; through the give and take of discussion, can eventually form ideas for next steps in organizing and political activity. According to Bookchin, study groups help create solidarity and a shared language — with a shared coherent vision — for building a mass, organizing, political movement!
Along with Climate Change, many people oppose the imperialism of the USA under control of the Republican/Democratic duopoly.  Use of the wealth of our nation should be to enhance quality of life for We The People rather than for imperialism.  Some people vote accordingly.I———————–That “we are a 2-Party system” is a fabrication of the Republican/Democratic duopoly and spread by MSM.  In FACT the majority of voters aren’t either registered Democratic or Republican.  The censorship about this info must be envied by bureaucrats of the Former USSR and their simplistic style of 1-Party elections.  

Regardless of which character sits in the Oval Office, We The People have work to do to maintain principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.  Several items to challenge—*We need the integrity of ranked-choice voting so voters won’t feel compelled to “hold your nose and vote”*Censored debates must be stopped.  The Democratic/Republican duopoly pretends to legitimate debates in what is nothing other than another campaign show.  Independent debates run by uninterested sponsors such as The League of Women Voters, must be restored.  (Access www.debates.org to understand the extent of duopoly control).  The so-called Debate Commission is a corporation to promote the Democratic corporation and Republican corporation, not to inform We The People*Challenge and stop gerrymandering that is a trick especially of the Republican branch of the duopoly.*Stop voter suppression by political Parties, and especially confront and stop Party suppression, which is the over-arching approach to voter suppression.  Party suppression seems to have been the responsibility of the Democratic corporation*Promote by law ranked-choice voting, so we won’t be told again, by D&R duopoly, to “hold your nose and vote”
If these issues are handled, our next elections can be honorable.
