Where is it written that class warfare is not allowed? |
|
The Rs have been practicing class warfare in favor of the rich for three decades. Yet when the Ds try to fight back or try to raise taxes on high-income people, the Rs denounce it as "class warfare" as if that implies it's somehow "against the rules" or something. How so?

6. It's much older than that. Read up one the history of labor in this country,.. |

It will really open your eyes to the extent of the class war and how well our side has fought back. For instance the in 1887, striking railroad workers nearly took St. Louis the city. It even made news in Europe, in a letter to Fredrick Engels, Marx wrote: "What do you think of the workers of the United States? This first explosion against the associate oligarchy of capital which has occurred since the Civil War will naturally again be suppressed, but can very well form the origin of an earnest worker's party." I'm quoting that from Zinn's "A People's History of the United States." A great read.

3. Because any Republican is corrupt and immoral. |

"Class warfare" as far as I'm concerned is what happened in October 1917 in Czarist Russia. That was real class warfare. The Pukes wouldn't know what "class warfare" was if it hit them in the ass.
