As I replied to ravi's original post, as soon as the Nazis are mentioned the conversation goes down the toilet. This is irresponsible nonsense. For one thing it is absurd praise of bourgeois democracy, utterly ignoring the repressive power of the most democratic capitalist states.

Adolph Reed nailed it years ago: the Dems' strategy is to seize the center and let the Reps become a collection of right-wing nuts.

That was probably the strategy of Hitler's opponents in Germany. :-) The trouble for us citizens is that there is no such thing as "right-wing nuttery". There's just right-wing all the way down to the gas chambers, exerting it's constant gravitational pull on the centre. Yes?

Yes, they're jailing women right now for miscarriages and still births. It's how it starts.
