ANTIFA ......


Antifa, a political protest movement comprising of various autonomous groups opposing fascism and other forms of extreme right wing ideologies, including white supremacy and Nazi like tactics .
Mr. Trump and his AG Mr. Barr and some Republican legislators like Ted Cruz want to classify and designate officially Antifa as a terrorist organization, there's no proof at all of any Antifa member using violence or causing the death of anyone, unlike the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan which is not declared nor classified as a terrorist organization.

In the last century both Bolshevism and Fascism proved to be two false dawns, they didn't bring the morning of a new day to their nations nor to the world, but only some archaic times. Later in the century came the U.S. global role of supremacy and control of the world, it worked for few decades with some ups and downs, some balances and restrictions, but since then, the world in its entirety, even what we call and consider allies, got bored and tired of being ordered, bullied, threatened and commanded.

We couldn't and wouldn't stop our vulgar adventures all over, denying it was all for the sole advantage of a permanent war machine and its corporate profiteers behind it. We kept our games of camouflaging, ignoring every other rational warning. Our lies to the whole world managed to convince us, and only us, of a pseudo rectitude of behavior in our policies and acts.

Our model has failed, the world today is not interested in our military prowess and our war machine, it is rather looking at our public health, our education and research levels, our infrastructures, our social equity and equilibrium, social benefits and securities, and while the world is seeing mostly failures and mediocrities, a horribly ill wealth distribution and total unfair taxation, a very corrupt and partisan  political class leading to a total mismanagement of our capacities.

Historically, as Rome inherited the Greco-oriental culture, ruled the world and then lost it all, America is going through the same process, it inherited a medieval European religious and conservative, supremacist culture, an aggressive and brutal one, that exercised from its very first days death and annihilation against every and anyone who stood in its colonial and imperial way, be them native Americans, Hispanics, enslaved Africans, even French and British powers.

It went on for decades even centuries, culminating very lately in one man, one regime, a Mr. Trump, his oligarchy and family, who got exposed showing all of our weaknesses and long dating faults. But, is it not a universal way, look at Israel's Netanyahu, Turkey's Erdogan, Iran's mullahs, plus all other fools around the globe following our example and political guidance.

America is ceasing to rule, and no one sees who is going to take her place, and that is the simple truth. Not China or Europe or Russia, not Iran or Turkey, Israel or Saudi Arabia regionally will be capable of filling the gap. It sounds good and amusing to some for a while, even positive, but I'm more afraid of a chaotic outcome and a very dangerous one for that.

The entire world is learning nowadays what Talleyrand told Napoleon back then ; You can do almost  everything with bayonets, sire, except sit on them. We are all learning that to rule is not the gesture of snatching at power, nor to be brutal, vengeful, and fascistic, but the tranquil exercise of it. America is learning it the hard way, while the Middle-East is paying a very high price for not applying it.

Many countries around the world, including the U.S. , are facing periods of great difficulty in their internal lives, with strenuous problems of law, economics, equality of wealth and public order, states cannot keep crushing the independence of the individuals nor the groups, they will implode sooner or later. Increasing fascistic tactics and police numbers and armaments and brutality will lead inevitably to situations of great instability, and even civil unrest and wars, as we keep witnessing all through the Middle-East and other parts.

Most countries have passed through periods when someone who shouldn't rule has made the attempt to grab power, but a strong instinct and will forced them to rethink and crush those claims to usurp and hold power, some democratically some by force, many countries rejected these passing irregularities, and reconstituted their reason and morality as people. We cannot keep escaping from our real destiny, blinding ourselves to its evidence, we cannot keep playing deaf to our real problems and avoid facing up to what has to be .
