“Crack-Up #Capitalism”: #Historian #QuinnSlobodian on #Trump, #Musk & the Movement to “Shatter” the State
#DemocracyNow, February 20, 2025
"Who are the minds behind #DOGE, and what do they really believe? Historian Quinn Slobodian says three strains of #conservatism have converged to form the second Trump administration’s #AntiDemocratic coalition: finance-backed #CorporateInterests previously friendly to the #DemocraticParty, #ChristianConservative think tanks who have long advocated for the end of the administrative state, and the online-driven movement of reactionary extremists who traffic in #WhiteSupremacist and #NeoNazi rhetoric. Meanwhile, says Slobodian, 'Trump is a person who doesn’t believe in much, but he believes in #money,' leaving him willing to enact the political visions of these three #ProCapitalist projects. Slobodian, an expert in German history, also discusses the connections between the Trump sphere and Germany’s far-right Alternative for #Germany (#AfD) party, supported by Musk and Vice President #JDVance.'"

Furious about #jdvance who claims that #Europe #democracies being destroyed from inside and should not limit a thing he calls #freedomofspeech ... and demands democratic parties should not reject coalitions with #antidemocratic #afd .
That same guy who currently destroys American institutions, breaking laws and threatens to ignore #scotus rulings if he does not like them.
This is not #America !

What still makes me so sad about the 2024 election is that Donals Trump’s victory means that it no longer matters how dishonest, how cruel, corrupt, criminal, ignorant, misogynistic, how traitorous, or how anti-democratic a candidate for office in america is.
- Joe Walsh, American politician
The role this Oligarch and his cronies played in literally capitalizing, enriching, and then taking sole credit for the state funded, collaborative labor of unsung scientists and engineers over generations is an obscenity!

While I'm critical of the poverty industry, this recent comment by Musk is absolutely inhuman and right on-brand!
