The Federal Reserve has refused to tell the public the facts about giving "bailout" money to fossil fuel companies.

A violent right-wing anarchist extremist movement uses the term "boogaloo" to refer to a proposed civil war in the US.

The lying right-wing extremists in power in the US government say that "boogaloo" is not right-wing, but that is their usual big lie tactic.

The difference between those violent right-wing anarchists and the right-wing anarchist Antisocialist Party (which calls itself "Libertarian") is a matter of degree. Since there is a spectrum of views among the supporters of "boogaloo" also, it should not surprise us that the Antisocialist presidential candidate looked for support among them.

Nonetheless, the two do disagree. "Boogaloo" right-wing anarchist extremists would like to destroy the state, which would allow anyone to plunder anyone else, whereas the right-wing extremists in power want to use the state to plunder everyone else.

Lost in all this is the purpose of a democratic state: to restrain the rich from plundering everyone else and give everyone a decent life with human rights. The US made a pretty good effort at this, and in the 1960s tried specially to include minorities.

Only half-hearted vestiges of that effort remain today after 40 years of increasing plutocratist dooH niboR, but Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, unemployment insurance, and support for housing and education still do considerable good for non-wealthy Americans. They are insufficient to overcome all the harm the US government encourages big business to do, but without them things would be much worse. That's why the right-wing extremists now in power are rushing to sabotage them as much as they can.

US citizens: call on Congress to ban use of tear gases in the US.
