    There he is again. J. Edgar Hoover.

    If there was ever a man so power hungry and cruel that was in the executive, it was him. He influenced McCarthy, who influenced Roy Cohn, who helped Trump in his earlier years.

    But the root of all of it is slavery. Free labor. Free labor creates something that is unsustainable in capitalism - infinite profit.

      Capitalism itself is unsustainable, and if not heavily regulated will always recreate slavery on its way to collapse.
