Trump’s 4 Year Window of Opportunity to Replace the Crony Capitalist Republican Party With a Conservative National Sovereignty Party.
Introduction:
Our podcast today is titled Trump’s 4 Year Window of Opportunity to Replace the Crony Capitalist Republican Party With a Conservative National Sovereignty Party.
I am Laurie Thomas Vass, and this is the copyrighted Citizen Liberty Party News Network podcast for November 6, 2020.
The most recent podcast of the CLP News Network is available for free. The entire text and audio archive of our podcasts are available for subscription of $30 per year, at the CLP News Network.com.
We begin our podcast promoting a new political party by examining the logic of the Anti-Trump Lincoln Project to make our argument that the lobbyists and PR firms of the group constitute the authentic Republican Party of crony corporate capitalists.
In other words, we deny that there is some shadow conservative version of Republicans, who are in competition with the so-called RINO wing of the Party.
There is only one institutional Republican Party, and that is the RINO Republicans, who represent what Angelo Codevilla describes as America’s ruling class.
We argue that there is a slight window of opportunity for Trump to replace the crony capitalist Republican Party with a new national sovereignty party that represents the interests of working and middle class citizens.
We place our analysis of the Lincoln Project into the bigger analytical framework of 5 distinct American social classes, defined by their source of income and their political ideology.
Following Codevilla, (The Ruling Class, 2010), and William Domhoff, (Who Rules America? Power and Politics in the Year 2006), we argue that the characteristics and attributes of the ruling class constitute a distinct social class awareness of their power and privilege, represented by the type of Republicans who make up the Lincoln Project.
The ruling class is engaged in a gigantic global financial scheme to use the Republican Party, in conjunction with the agencies of the U. S. government, to skew income from the global economy to themselves.
In our earlier articles, we identified the Marxist Democrat social class as earning income from skimming revenues from government spending, similar to the activities of the Biden family.
We allege that this Marxist Democrat social class is developing a class consciousness of envy. (Vass, Laurie Thomas, The American Left’s Emerging Social Class Consciousness of Envy In Collusion With the Existing American Ruling Class Consciousness of Greed. CLP News Network, October 16, 2020).
The ideology of the Marxist Democrat social class is based upon the concept of social justice, and that new allegiance is so strong that it overrides the prior Democrat emphasis on policies that favored the working class.
The ideological commitment to Marxism is one explanation of why Democrat voters ignored the flaws of Biden. It was not the (D) behind Biden’s name, it was the (S) behind the names of 70 million Biden voters.
The main voting block of constituents for the Marxist Democrats constitute the third social class of non-working poor who earn their income from government welfare payments.
In the prior, traditional two party framework, before the advent of Marxist Democrat ideology, the Democrats claimed to represent the working class.
The prior faux representation of the working class by Democrats would be called a false class consciousness, by Marx, which was effective in keeping Blacks and white working class voters voting for Democrats.
Their social class awareness, now, is based upon grievance against the capitalist system, which is a class antagonism promoted by the elites in the Democrat Marxist social class.
We explained that the Democrat Marxist have formed an alliance with the Ruling Class to promote a one-world global system of totalitarian rule. (Vass, Laurie Thomas, BLM Marxism and the Emerging Alliance With Global Corporate Crony Capitalism. CLP News Network. July 26, 2020).
The logic behind this alliance, for leftists, is that their own ideology of envy is defective in producing economic value from production, and that they must be able to share profits with the large global corporations, in order to have the tax revenues they need to implement their communist ideology, similar to the big business/socialist collaboration model of China and Europe.
The essential key to understanding the logic of the Lincoln Project is their hatred of Donald Trump, because Trump opposes globalism, and totalitarian globalism is the end goal of both the ruling class crony Republicans, and the Marxist Democrats.
Trump represents the financial and political interests of both the working classes, and the middle classes, in American society.
The ideology of the American working classes is to be left alone by government elites, in order to pursue the working class idea of happiness. They derive their income from skilled trades, service sector jobs, and manufacturing production.
The American working class does not have social class consciousness.
The ideology of the middle classes is upward occupational mobility, as represented by the “American Dream.” They earn their income from small business ownership and professional occupations.
Codevilla suggests that the middle class has a budding social class awareness that can vaguely be seen in the “resistance” of their vote against ruling class elites, in favor of Trump, in 2016.
Unlike the empirically identifiable social class consciousness of the ruling class and the Marxist Democrats, the American working and middle classes do not currently have a political party that represents their interests, based upon a social class consciousness of their own social class.
And, while Trump represents their economic interests in his Make America Great policies on immigration and taxes, Trump does not have a coherent political strategy, after 2020, that would lead to the formation of a political party, designed to protect the working class and middle class, after he is gone.
We conclude that the last 4 years of the next Trump administration offers a small window of opportunity for working and middle class voters to create a new political party.
The first step in creating that new political party is the development of a social class consciousness that unites, or fuses, the economic class interests of working and middle class citizens with Jefferson’s philosophy in the Declaration.
That potential new political party would be anethma to the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, because it would disrupt their sources of income derived from the crony corporate Republican Party.
In the absence of the new political party, the legacy of the Trump presidency will end just like the administration of Reagan, as a cult of personality, with the restoration of the hegemony of the ruling class Republicans.
The mission of the Lincoln Project is to keep the institutional Republican organization operational in order to resume operations, after Trump.
And, in the absence of creating working and middle class consciousness, America, as you know it, will be over.
