Reading "Oil!" by Upton Sinclair (1926) and it lays out plainly America's plan from the start to destroy #socialism.
"Mr. Irving expressed the view that what was happening in Russia was a great social experiment. Could a government of the working-class succeed? Was democracy in industry a possibility, or only a fanatic’s dream? We ought to send disinterested people, experts of all sorts into Russia, to watch what was happening and report it. Instead of that, we were helping France and Britain to starve the Russians out; we were compelling them to spend all their energies resisting our armies, and those which we subsidized; we were making it impossible for the experiment to succeed, and so, of course, its failure would prove nothing."

"It was finally overthrown and stands no longer as a barrier to renewed billionaire expansion – economic, political and military – to the south and east. It is still being belittled or maligned – largely out of fear that it has not yet been sufficiently erased and forgotten." - Victor Grossman

The average Democrat today is more or less in political alignment with Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush and that's fucking gross.

Socialist hotels – in pictures
Socialist Hotels is the first photography book to focus solely on the architecture of hospitality in Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet landscape. These state-constructed buildings were used by visiting government workers and ordinary citizens. Today they are a fascinating legacy of a social and cultural idiosyncrasy.

I'm sick of liberals telling everyone to suck it up and continue the same broken cycle. We need radical change, not incremental half-assed efforts that are easily undone and don't provide meaning change. No more of this guilt BS. Your "normal" candidate was still an imperialist, genocidal, grifter.
