Now, it is Ellons Musk vs Trump, Republican Party and Democratic Party
Ellon Musk wrote on Twitter: If the big beautiful is passed by the Congress, he is going to funds new political candidates and primary the senator that pass the bill, to defeat the republican, and he will form a new political party ( The America’s Party ) to eliminate the Republican=Democrat single political party domination. It sounds like the Night of the long knives

Here are 21 myths debunked about immigration, from Aviva Chomsky’s book “They Take Our Jobs! And 20 Other Myths about Immigration,” each followed by a summary of her counter-argument.Myth 1: Immigrants take American jobs
Immigrants often fill jobs that complement those of native-born workers or address labor shortages, and their presence often stimulates economic growth and job creation.Myth 2: Immigrants compete with low-skilled workers and drive down wages
Wages are shaped more by employer practices and broader economic forces than by immigration. Immigrants do not have a significant downward effect on overall wages and can help create new jobs.Myth 3: Unions oppose immigration because it harms the working class
While some unions historically opposed immigration, often due to racism and exclusion, many unions today support immigrant rights, recognizing that solidarity among all workers is more beneficial.Myth 4: Immigrants don’t pay taxes
Immigrants, regardless of status, pay billions in local, state, and federal taxes, including sales, property, and income taxes.Myth 5: Immigrants are a drain on the economy
Immigrants contribute more to the economy than they receive in services. They are consumers, workers, and entrepreneurs who help drive economic growth.Myth 6: Immigrants send most of what they earn out of the country in the form of remittances
Most money earned by immigrants is spent in the U.S. on housing, food, and other goods and services, benefiting the domestic economy, even though some earnings are sent abroad.Myth 7: The rules apply to everyone, so new immigrants need to follow them just as immigrants in the past did
Earlier immigrants often faced fewer restrictions, and today’s laws are far more exclusionary and difficult to navigate, especially for people from certain countries or backgrounds.Myth 8: The country is being overrun by illegal immigrants
The proportion of immigrants in the U.S. population is not unprecedented, and claims of being “overrun” are exaggerated and not supported by demographic data.Myth 9: The United States has a generous refugee policy
U.S. refugee and asylum policies are selective and often driven by political interests rather than humanitarian concerns, with many refugees excluded based on shifting criteria.Myth 10: The United States is a melting pot that has always welcomed immigrants from all over the world
The U.S. has a long history of exclusionary and racist immigration policies, welcoming some groups while barring or discriminating against others based on race, nationality, and class.Myth 11: Since we are all the descendants of immigrants here, we all start on equal footing
Historical and ongoing inequalities mean that not everyone starts on equal footing. Race, class, and legal status have always shaped opportunities and access in the U.S.Myth 12: Today’s immigrants threaten the national culture because they are not assimilating
Immigrants have always contributed to and changed American culture. Assimilation is a complex, generational process, and fears about cultural change are not new.Myth 13: Today’s immigrants are not learning English, and bilingual education just adds to the problem
Most immigrants want to learn English and do so over time, just as previous generations did. Bilingual education supports learning and integration rather than hindering it.Myth 14: Immigrants only come here because they want to enjoy our higher standard of living
U.S. foreign, economic, and military policies have shaped global migration patterns, often creating the very conditions that drive people to migrate.Myth 15: The American public opposes immigration, and the debate in Congress reflects that
Public opinion on immigration is diverse and complex. Political debates often misrepresent or oversimplify public attitudes for partisan purposes.Myth 16: The overwhelming victory of Proposition 187 in California shows that the public opposes immigration
Ballot initiatives like Proposition 187 reflect specific political contexts and can be influenced by fear-mongering and misinformation, not necessarily broad, sustained public opposition.Myth 17: Immigration is a problem
Framing immigration as a “problem” ignores its benefits and the structural factors that drive migration. Immigration is a normal and often positive part of global society.Myth 18: Countries need to control who goes in and out
Borders and migration controls are relatively recent inventions and are often enforced selectively. The idea of total control is both unrealistic and historically inconsistent.Myth 19: We need to protect our borders to prevent criminals and terrorists from entering the country
Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than native-born citizens. Fears about crime and terrorism are often exaggerated and used to justify harsh policies.Myth 20: If people break our laws by immigrating illegally, they are criminals and should be deported
Immigration violations are civil, not criminal, offenses. The moral and legal complexities of migration are often ignored in simplistic calls for deportation.Myth 21: The problems this book raises are so huge that there’s nothing we can do about them
Change is possible. Understanding the real causes and effects of immigration can lead to better, more humane policies. Fatalism only serves to maintain the status quo.This new ‘beautiful bill” that is being cooked in the US Senate, clearly shows what we have said based on the Marxist analysis; The state is an institution financed with surplus value, the burden of taxation rest on the profits of the capitalist class, the myth about workers taxpayers, it just a myth, nothing else, Those bourgeois representatives must cut the social programs in order to provide more profits to the capitalist class. All these maneuvers is just an spectacle to blind and cheat the working class, and the so called national debt is the debt of the capitalist class
It is all here, we do not need a doctorate degree in economics in order to understand it :
And here too:
This is a fair description which still applies today but, unfortunately, is a source of many currency crank theories. Marx was aware of this and warned:
‘The great part that the public debt and the fiscal system corresponding with it have played in the capitalization of wealth and the expropriation of the masses, has led many writers, like Cobbett, Doubleday and others, to seek here, incorrectly, the fundamental cause of the misery of the people in modern times.’
The fundamental cause of this misery is not the financial system but the class ownership of the means of life and production for profit. What is required to remove it is not monetary reform but common ownership and production directly to satisfy people’s need.

The left-wingers are propagating a bunch of false economy theory but it looks that they have not read Marx on the issue of taxation, and they continue dispersing the idea about the so called working class taxpayer. We are just wage slaves
A bunch of bourgeoisie reforms that have been implemented by right wing governments in order to pacify the working class, and to stop wage slaves revolts. Land reforms for the peasants were approved by right wingers too, and some so called communists supported the measures
In Argentina Domingo Peron passed many of those reforms including tuition free education, and free transportation, free medical services for the workers, low cost housing and subsidy for housing, he nationalized the public transportation and the telephone, and he was not a communist lunatic, on the contrary, some of his opposition were saying that he was a fascist
He passed more social democrats reforms than Salvador Allende and Hugo Chavez, even more, Hugo Chavez used to be called the Caribbean Peronist.
The FDR New Deal was approved by a bunch of right wingers and now they are reversing everything, most reforms can be reversed by any new leader .
I can go on, and on. There is nothing extraordinary
Lyndon B Johnson approved several educational reforms, and many students worked at several university under the so called Johnson plan .
There is a great difference between Social democracy and socialism/communism
Many peoples are confused and have been influenced by the propaganda made by the MAGA gangs. This is just a procedural ruling, the Supreme Court has not canceled or abolish the Birthright citizenship constitutional amendment.
A national class action suit must be submitted in order to be considered by the US supreme court and the Supreme Court can not eliminate the Birthright clause. Donald Trump and his followers did not win this case. Hundreds of class action legal suits are going to be filed
Elected governments staging false flags so they can start a war to increase their chances of staying in office!’
To be fair, that’s not a million miles from what Netenyahu’s doing with Iran, faking a ‘weeks away’ message to start a war so that he can stay in office and out of the courtroom.

Israel court dropped the charges that were filed against Netenyaku
One of the problem of our actual society is that most peoples are not reading anything, they are just repeating like parrots anything that is propagated by the capitalist class.
The problem is not if Iran defeat Israel, if the US has the best bombs and warplanes, or if the bunkers were empties, the important thing is to understand that this is another war for oil like all the wars and conflicts that have taken place in the Middle East.
To understand that all modern wars are based on rivalry between the capitalists class for territories, natural resources, spheres of influences, market, and trade routes, it is not a war based on religion fanatism
The bourgeois class can violate its own constitution

The US Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. CASA marks a new milestone in the collapse of American democracy. In a 6-3 ruling issued Thursday, the far-right majority sided with the Trump administration and stripped federal courts of the power to issue universal injunctions—even in cases where government policies are clearly unconstitutional.
The immediate effect of the decision is to permit the government to prepare to implement Trump’s executive order targeting birthright citizenship—one of the most fundamental democratic principles in American law. This principle is enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment, adopted in the aftermath of the Civil War to guarantee citizenship to all those born in the United States, regardless of race, ancestry or parentage.
But the implications of the ruling go far beyond this specific case. It guts the power of the judiciary to stop unconstitutional actions by the executive. It means that even when a federal court rules that a presidential order violates fundamental rights, the judge would have no power to prohibit the order from being enforced in the future.
The illegality of Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order, issued on his first day in office, is clear. As Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted in her dissent, the order “is patently unconstitutional.” She notes that by effectively abrogating birthright citizenship, the majority’s decision revives the Supreme Court’s notorious Dred Scott decision, which held that anyone of African ancestry could not be a citizen. After the Civil War, this ruling was overturned by the Fourteenth Amendment.
Armenia hs been in the crosshair of Russia/Soviet Union and NATO for several years. Another war would be the continuation of the prior wars against the Armenian
When he fails because he is going to fail drastically, the US ruling class is going to use his failure in order to show to the workers that socialism does not work, and they are going to put more mud on top of socialism.
The US ruling class has an enormous apparatus for propaganda against communism, and most workers in the US believe everything that is propagated by the ruling class, for the workers a lawyer requesting a rent decrease for a tenant is communism, reading socialist literatures among them is null
I have read the opinions of peoples who are supporting him and they do not have the minimum clue of what socialism really is, it is more romance than anything else, they think that socialism is just high taxation to the rich, to finance public schools, transportation and housing, all those reforms have been done by capitalists governments.
The only thing that is positive is that socialism is not a dirty word anymore for certain certain of the working class, and might motivate the creation of an independent working class political party because workers are going to see that the capitalist parties can not resolve their own problems
War between Israel, Iran and the USA, Analysis made by the ICC. The article says that the US is a single polar world power, it is not true, this is a multi polar world, even more, that situation has never existed, even when the soviet union collapsed. The bombs dropped in Japan were not only a warning to Russia, they were scientific experiments using two different type of nuclear bombs
Similar to Donald Trump re-election that has kept him away from jails and courtrooms, and the bankruptcy of his real estate empire
Some Republicans leaders have asked the Department of Justice to remove his US citizenship and deport him
