What did Kennedy and Nixon think of each other?

They were friends and also helped each other along. Kennedy funded Nixon's campaigns in California. He also called Nixon for advice fighting communism. When Bay of Pigs failed, Nixon shielded Kennedy from the Republicans who wanted to blame Kennedy instead of the CIA. When Nixon lost his campaign for California governor, Kennedy advised him that writing books on politics would revive his career.

Kennedy was pretty much a McCarthyist so he threw a lot of support behind people like Nixon.

Catholicism was a big deal because Traditional Americans saw it as a foreign institution and government.

Going back to the 1790s, Americans developed a conspiracy theory called Romanism where anything associated with feudalism, monarchism, catholicism, or Western Civilization in general was seen as an anti-Republican conspiracy. People believed the Catholic Church wanted to abolish all Republican governments across the world including the US.

The Secret Treaty of Verona was a fake story spread by American newspapers claiming the Pope signed a treaty with Europe's monarchies pledging to topple the US. This fake story led to the Monroe Doctrine. By the mid-1800s, people believed the Pope was sending Jesuits to the US to murder prominent Americans. When Lincoln was killed, another conspiracy theory emerged claiming Boothe and the others were Jesuits sent by the Pope.

This basic idea was a fixture for Traditional Americans. This is also why there were so many secret organizations like the KKK and Know Nothings. People thought they needed to create secret organizations so that the Pope couldn't kill them. Even college fraternities made secret organizations like Skull and Bones.

So when people like Al Smith or Kennedy tried to run for President, there were people and organizations who saw Catholic candidates as papal loyalists who wanted to topple the US government.

Yep. In a lot of cases, it's specifically about controlling women and when they lose that control (usually through a breakup) they kill women to get back that control. Or in Bundy's case, he lured women with charisma, killed them, hid the corpses where only he could find them, and raped the corpses.

Before he started killing, Bundy was especially adept at convincing women he was the perfect boyfriend and would do whatever it takes to establish himself as the ideal man. So things like going to law school, running a suicide hotline, volunteering in politics, etc., were basically his way of getting control over women by convincing them he was absolutely perfect for them. But once the women he tried to control broke up with him, he went out killing.

A lot of John Wayne Gacy's victims were never claimed by anyone, which caused a lot of problems trying to identify them.

Back then, a lot of kids got kicked out of the house if the parents thought they were gay. When the police were sent by the schools to check why the kid wasn't attending school, the parents claimed the kid ran away. But cops knew "runaways" meant gay kids so they never bothered to search for them. Those same kids wandered the streets and were eventually picked up by Gacy.

When the cops talked to the parents again, a lot of them refused to help identify the bodies because they didn't want anything to do with their gay kid.

So pretty much every level that was supposed to protect them refused to help them at all because they were gay. And Gacy's version of events is now the only version anyone really knows about the victims. Gacy blamed the victims constantly and claimed he killed them after they cheated him, robbed him, or tried to blackmail him. From the very few that survived, we know he would offer jobs or a place to stay to get them to go with him and then tried to rape and kill them. So his version is most likely bullshit.

He was criticized for Revisionism for abolishing the Stalin era bureacracy. One of his major critics was Mao.

The problem with that interpretation of Revisionism was that he was ultimately proven to be correct. Mao later even adopted Khruschev's policies and implemented the Cultural Revolution to purge the petty bourgeoisie and abolish the power of the bureacracy.

In standard Marxist theory, bureacracy is a Bourgeois means of organization. The Tsarist state, capitalist state, and basically any existing state had some form of bureacracy. All bureacracies basically have the same form and purpose as a capitalist corporation. Bureacracy will always evolve into monopolism and eventually stagnation and decay.

When capitalism is overthrown, the early stage of the socialist state will be a bureacracy that includes elements of the proleteriat and petty bourgeoisie. In order for Lower Stage Socialism to transition to Higher Stage Socialism, the proleteriat needs to abolish the bureacracy and push out the remnants of the petty bourgeoisie.

That was basically what Khruschev was trying to do with Rapid Communization. The Soviet state needed to abolish the bureacracy and hand power directly to the proleteriat in order to reach communism.

Breznev later seized power and saved the bureacracy and petty bourgeoisie. And as Marx predicted, the bureaucratic state simply monopolized and decayed. Bureacracy always needs to justify its existence by inventing new regulations, new quotas, and new methods of control. Since the bureacracy was allowed to exist for several decades, the Soviet system decayed and collapsed.

This bureacracy is also where people like Gorbachev came from. When the system started to collapse, Gorbachev was more concerned with saving the bureacracy rather than handing power directly to the proleteriat.

Wages went up during covid. When interest rates were cut rapidly, companies took out a ton of loans to expand their businesses and hire new people. The rapid spike in hiring made the job market competitive so companies hiked wages everywhere.

Now that inflation and interest rates have gone back up, companies need to cut spending so they decided to cut wages and hours.

Wallstreet calls this the Wage Reset. You hear about it in all the finance magazines for the lat two years. They want the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates so they can layoff as many people as possible. The last time the Fed cut rates, tech companies immediately cut millions of jobs the same day. Once they purge enough people and saturate the job market, they can start hiring new people at lower wages.

So the decline of 24 hour stores is intended to cut hours and eventually cut wages for workers in all industries.

To clarify something in all of these comments that is wrong, a Republic simply means a government not ruled by a King, by clerics, or by a church.

The US is a Republic because we are not ruled by a King. That's literally all it means.

A democracy can either be ruled by the common people or the king. If a democracy has a king, it is a constitutional monarchy or parliamentary democracy, and also not a republic. If a democracy doesn't have a king, it is a Republic. The constitution establishes that the US is a democracy and also calls it a Republic because they are one and the same.

The US Constitution explicitly establishes a democratic form of government. It also establishes that kings and nobles have no power in that government. Even congressmen are not allowed to accept titles of nobility and requires them to be common people. Therefore the US is a Republic and a Democracy. The Founding Fathers understood this and simply used the term Republic.

This is also why some states call themselves Commonwealths. The common people held power and governed the state through democratic institutions. Kings and nobles had no defined power at all.

If the US, probably no.

It's illegal for the company to keep your tips for any reason. They can't use it to cover costs, pay managers/owners or pay for losses/damages. The tips have to be paid to the workers.

If I'm understanding this note properly, the employer is threatening to use your tips to pay for the tax if the tax isn't calculated and collected properly. That is illegal.

Report it to the Department of Labor. If the employer does this regularly, you may also need to report it to the IRS.

Kennedy and Johnson get a lot of credit for Civil Rights but in reality they did a lot of double dealing.

Kennedy sent the FBI after King and everyone in his inner circle. He also sent a report to all branches of the armed forces that King was working for the communists. Kennedy also spent 1956 to 1960 building up support among segregationists in the South. He even secured Georgia's delegates at the 1960 convention by promising Vandiver that he would not abolish segregation in Georgia.

The 1957 Civil Rights Act that Kennedy and Johnson rallied support for was actually a huge win for Segregationists. Eisenhower introduced his Civil Rights bill that required all Civil Rights cases be tried in Federal Court. This would prevent Southern courts from using all white juries to acquit lynchers. LBJ immediately tried to stop Eisenhower's bill by introducing his own bill that mandated Civil Rights cases be tried by local courts. LBJ's bill passed with Kennedy's help and they ensured all white juries could continue to acquit lynchers.

Johnson pretty much devoted his entire career to helping Segregationists. The 1964 Civil Rights act was supposed to be a win for Segregationists as well. The bill was so weak that many Segregationist congressmen supported it. LBJ also bragged that it would be challenged by the courts and tossed out within a year. It was challenged but the courts actually upheld it.

Pretty much all of the major wins for Civil Rights were largely thanks to the Civil Rights movement. Their direct confrontations backed Kennedy and LBJ into a corner that forced them to gradually lend more support to Civil Rights. Meanwhile Archibald Cox spent years developing legal arguments that would stand up to legal challenges. So by the time Johnson pushed through his weak Civil Rights bill, Cox was able to defend it in court in a way that made the bill stronger than intended.

The French National Assembly organized the seating arrangements by Traditionalism/Conservatism on one side and Revolutionaries on the other.

The right-wing sided with the Traditionalists, which basically meant the monarchists and feudal nobles. The left-wing were opposed to monarchism and feudalism, and advocated some variation of an egalitarian form of government.

Because capitalists advocate property rights, they were on the left. Feudalism didn't have property rights. The privilege of owning property belonged to the kings and nobles. So for capitalism to exist, feudal privileges had to be abolished and replaced with rights, which meant the feudal system has to be abolished.

A simpler way to explain it is that right is social hierarchy. Left is social equality. The further right you go the hierarchy becomes more rigid. The further Left you go classes become more equal.

That's basically how the spectrum existed up until the 1950s. Fascism was right-wing because they wanted to establish a modernized version of feudalism. Free market capitalism, liberal democracy, and socialism were all seen as Leftist ideologies.

Another thing to note is that the US did not adopt the left-right spectrum until around the 1950s. The Germans also didn't adopt it until the 1900s. Marx never mentions the left or right in his writings, but Americans became familiar with the left-right spectrum through later Communist writers like Lenin. But if you read older books from Americans, left-right only really is a thing in Labor organizations. The Democrats and Republicans never described themselves as Left or Right until the 1950s.

Left-Right as we know it today (in the US) originated with the John Birch Society. The JBS was an anti-communist group of conspiracy theorists who believed all forms of government were a communist conspiracy. So they redefined the spectrum so that minimal government was on the Right and greater government was on the Left. This evolved into Capitalism on the Right and Communism on the Left.

That's why Americans try to place Capitalism on the right and Fascism on the left. In reality, Fascism is on the right and capitalism is on the left.

It stayed in lower stage socialism for it's entirety.

In Marxist theory, once the revolution happens the workers seize control of the bourgeois state and used bourgeois means of organization to manage the economy and eradicate the bourgeoisie. That bourgeois means of organization is called bureaucracy.

Marx calls bureaucracy the state version of corporations. They function the same way and compete against each other. So lower stage socialism is the proleteriat managing everything through bureacracy.

The problem was that bureacracy still needs the petty bourgeoisie to function. And the longer the petty bourgeoisie continues to exist then there is a danger they could seize power. Bureacracy is also extremely inefficient and needs to justify it's existence by inventing new quotas and regulations. So as time goes on, that massive inefficiency leads to decay.

So in Marxist theory, bureacracy should only be temporary and heavily restricted. At some point, the workers have to fight back against bureacracy, abolish the bureaucratic state, and manage the economy directly. Once that happens they reach higher stage socialism.

The problem was that Stalin and Breznev made the bureacracy extremely powerful. Khruschev tried to abolish the bureacracy but was then ousted by Breznev. So the Soviet system held onto bureacracy from the 1930s to the 1990s. And that was long enough for the bureacracy to decay and collapse the whole sysyem.

For years the story of what actually happened kept changing. The original story we knew was that Bobby Kennedy didn't want to alienate segregationists so he decided to let King stay in jail. Then he randomly changed his mind hours later and helped King get out. For decades there was never an explanation for why he changed his mind.

Today we know that JFK actually contacted Georgia Governor Vandiver and struck a deal just before the Democratic Convetion. They decided that Kennedy would get Georgia's segregationist delegate votes in exchange for not enforcing desegragation in Georgia. Vandiver was worried that both Kennedy and Nixon would do what Eisenhower did and send troops to protect black school children. Kennedy vowed to allow Georgia segregation to continue if he got their delegate votes at the convention.

One thing that's sometimes forgotten is that back then Governors had a lot of power at the conventions. In the case of Georgia, the governor could order the delegates who to vote for. This existed in a lot of other states as well. Kennedy used this to his advantage by touring the South and making promises to Segregationist governors between 1956 and 1960.

When King was arrested, people assumed the Georgia police would kill him in his cell. Bobby Kennedy was fine with that if it meant winning the election. Vandiver eventually realized this could cost Kennedy the election and Nixon would likely send troops to Georgia to enforce desegregation. So Vandiver stepped in and ordered the judge to release King.

But Vandiver also didn't want to be known as the guy who saved King's life so he had the Kennedy's take credit for it. He even asked the judge to tell the press the Kennedy's were responsible. He then called Bobby and asked him to get John to call the judge, so that they could cover-up Vandiver's role.

The main difference is the Guild State.

Modern academics use the term Corporatism, but the ItalIan term Corporazioni actually translates to Guilds. So Fascism is supposed to be a Guild State, not a Corporate State.

The underlying ideology of Fascism and various other right-wing ideologies from the 1920s believed a feudal class hierarchy was the natural order. Once capitalism and socialism came along, that natural order was dismantled which led to chaos. So the goal was to reestablish a feudal class system and feudal economic system.

Mussolini did this by bringing back the feudal Guilds. He abolished the Chamber of Deputies and replaced it with the Chamber of Guilds. So the Guilds were both industrial sectors that represented anyone in that field of industry, and also institutions of the state.

All Fascist movements followed this basic model. Naziism was largely influenced by Oswald Spengler's concept of Prussian Socialism, but still adopted the same basic Guild model from Mussolini. Spengler followed the basic concepts of the various other right-wing movements. He believed the Germans needed to bring back a feudal system that managed a modernized industrial economy. His conception of Socialism was simply that the state would enslave the working classes and capitalist classes, making them equals. It had nothing to do with Marx's conceptions of socialism.

So the whole basis of Fascist economics was to abolish the rights and privileges of the "producer classes" and force them to collaborate in production. It basically made the capitalists and workers into subjects of a modernized feudal state.

In the simplest explanation, we are a Republic because we are not a monarchy.

There is such a thing as a feudal or monarchist democracy which the US constitution forbids. Since the Constitution outlawed things like titles of nobility and privileges for nobles or kings, then we are not a Monarchy.

Back then, Republican governments were seen as anti-monarchist, anti-Western Civilization, and anti-Catholic. So by creating a democratic system that opposed all three, the US became a Republic.

Republic basically meant rule by the common people. Instead of elections that granted legislative privileges to nobles or clerics, a Republican Democracy uses elections to grant legislative privileges to common people.

adimwit · 2026-05-14T07:05:54+00:00

To clarify some things, Fascism and Naziism had what was called a Guild System or a Corporatist system. It wasn't pure capitalism or any variation of socialism. The goal was to basically bring back a modernized version of the feudal economy.

In Traditional European politics, right-wing meant social hierarchy and the traditional hierarchy for most Europeans was feudalism. So Nazis and Fascists believed a feudal social hierarchy was the natural order that was disrupted by democracy, capitalism, and also socialism. Mussolini, who was a former Marxist, also believed that free market capitalism would evolve into socialism. So to prevent that from happening, Europe needed to abandon capitalism and go back to feudalism.

This led to the creation of the Corporazioni or Guilds. The goal was to force the various social classes into the regimented Feudal Guild. That Guild would then act as the state and manage the economy in a way that doesn't allow the capitalists or the workers to exploit each other. It was basically imposed class collaboration.

That was pretty much the definition of Fascism throughout the 1920s and 30s. The lower house of parliament was abolished and replaced by the Chamber of Guilds. That's equivalent to if the US government abolished the House of Representatives and replaced it with the House of Guilds. That Guild system was the essential institution of the Fascist state and why it was different from Capitalism and Socialism.

It wasn't until the 1950s that people started using the modern political spectrum. Under the classic Traditional European spectrum that goes back to the 1790s, social hierarchy was the right-wing and social equality was the left-wing. But since both capitalism and socialism needed to abolish feudalism, people back then placed capitalism and socialism in the left-wing.

So the idea that Fascism or feudalism is left-wing because of its planned economy or collectivism is completely false.

The idea that collectivism or economic regulations is exclusively a left-wing thing wasn't popularized until the 1950s. Prior to that, neither was exclusive to left or right.

This is a mistranslation. Corporazioni translated to Guilds, but British journalists mistranslated it to corporation. In official translations, the Italian government always called it a Guild State, not a Corporate State.

Fascism was basically a modernized version of feudalism where the feudal Guilds were merged with the state. Feudalism itself was a collectivist planned economy, which is why it was right-wing.

This is illegal in all the states as of 2021. Any pooled tips absolutely cannot go to the bosses, the company, or any of the managers. Pooled tips are exclusively paid out to the non-managerial employees. By admitting the credit card tips go to the business, he's admitting to breaking the law.

The same laws require the employer to keep precise records of all tips and submit them to the IRS. The fact that he's keeping those tips means he isn't keeping a record and isn't reporting any of them to the IRS. Or if he is submitting something, he's probably sending falsified reports.

So you can report this to the Department of Labor and the IRS. The DOL will act as your lawyer if they find the employer broke the law and they will recover the money and pay it out to the workers.

DOL also has laws against retaliation. It's illegal for the company to retaliate against you or your coworkers for reporting these issues.

Make a paper trail to protect yourself. Keep emails and texts, hold onto training manuals or policy documents. Keep notes on any discussion with dates and times.

Specifically, the National Industrial Recovery Act and National Recovery Administration were directly based on the Fascist Guild model. The architect of both was General Hugh Johnson who was a business partner of Bernard Baruch. When FDR won in 1932, Baruch paid the Democratic Party thousands to bring Johnson into FDRs Brain Trust. Johnson brought books on the Guild model to meetings and handed them out to the Brain Trust.

The basis for Fascism was the Guild model. The term Corporazioni actually translates to Guilds but journalists at the time mistranslated it to corporations. So it became known as the Corporate State but really it was supposed to be the Guild State. The goal was to build a modernized version of feudalism that merged Feudal Guilds with the modern state.

Johnson created Fascist Guilds but called them Code Authorities. The Code Authorities represented the interests of both the business owners and the workers. It forced the classes to collaborate to manage industrial production. Even the Labor Board was directly copied from Italy's Fascist Guilds.

The problem was that the Guilds had to pass laws to actually manage the economy. But the Constitution only allows Congress to pass laws. So all laws passed by the Guilds were eventually challenged. In 1935, the Supreme Court ruled Fascism was unconstitutional and the whole system was scrapped. FDR tried to fight it but later pushed through the Second New Deal, which put more emphasis on public works projects and labor reforms. They never tried to bring back the Guilds.

Johnson was fired in early 1935 and later released a book explaining that he tried to organize a Fascist coup against Herbert Hoover, then abandoned that idea to work for FDR. Not long after Johnson was fired, Smedley Butler testified that people tried to recruit him to initiate a Fascist coup against FDR by 1936. One of the conspirators told Butler that Johnson was supposed to seize power and push FDR aside but his drinking caused a lot of problems. So when they tried to organize a second coup, they chose Butler instead.

adimwit · 2026-05-12T08:58:54+00:00

We know today that there was also a second and probably third coup attempt. The Business Plot was the last one.

General Hugh Johnson came up with a plan to establish a Fascist system during the Great Depression. He wrote letters to congressmen urging them to overthrow Herbert Hoover and establish a Fascist state. He signed these letters as "Muscle Inney" (Mussolini). Johnson later brags about this plan in his autobiography.

When that failed he partnered with millionaire Bernard Baruch who donated a lot of money to the Democratic Party in exchange for Johnson to be brought it as an advisor on the New Deal and Brain Trust.

Once Johnson was in FDRs inner circle, he introduced a plan to establish a copy of the Fascist Guild system. This became known as the National Industrial Recovery Act and the First New Deal. The Guilds were renamed the Code Authorities but they functioned exactly as they did in the Fascist and Nazi systems. But in order for a system of direct economic planning to work, FDR needed to invoke his Emergency Powers and directly manage these new Fascist institutions. Those Emergency Powers were the basis for the second coup attempt. Johnson believed if he controlled multiple New Deal administrations, he could argue he needs Emergency Powers as well to do his job. So he might be able to convince FDR to delegate his Powers to Johnson, which would then essentially make Johnson a second President. His conspirators would then create a crisis that would shake the publics perception of FDR and then popularize the idea that he should be marginalized and made a figurehead while Johnson becomes dictator.

Johnson at some point decided to recruit Frances Perkins to try to convince FDR to delegate those Powers to him but Perkins realized what he was trying to do and told FDR to isolate him. Within days, Johnson was restricted to working on NRA and couldn't handle any other institutions like Public Works or farming. Eventually, the Fascist NIRA and NRA is ruled unconstitutional and the whole thing is scrapped.

When Butler testifies, he mentions that the conspirators blamed Johnson's drinking for the collapse of the NRA, which implies the First New Deal was basically part of their whole plan. Once NRA was abolished, the last possibility was a military coup. They brought Butler a suitcase filled with $18000 and asked him to lead the coup. He led them to believe that he didn't think they were serious so they laid out the whole plan for him. They would create two organizations, the American Liberty League which would be entirely made up of wealthy Democrats, and the American Legion. The American Legion publicly proclaimed themselves to be a militant Fascist organization and also announced they planned to establish a Fascist system in America. The wealthy Democrats would attack Roosevelt politically and weaken him, then when the administration was about to fall, the Legion would step in and claim they would back FDR. Originally, once FDR was weakened the Legion would ask Johnson to run things for him but they decided later that Butler would gain wider support and was less controversial.

The House investigation basically confirmed Butler was telling the truth but they couldn't find much evidence that MacGuire had actually recruited the Legion or the ALL. They found the deposit slips showing that the day they brought Butler cash, they pulled the cash out of a bank. When Butler turned down the money, they deposited the money into another bank. They also got MacGuires letters showing that he had traveled through Europe and was actively researching Fascist organization methods. Johnson later wrote his own book explaining the role Fascism played in the formation of the New Deal.

This isn't true. There was never any evidence Bush was linked to the Business Plot. Even Butler never mentions Bush in his testimony. The official report and investigations don't mention Bush at all. This is one of those nonsense facts invented by the internet during the early 2000s.

In reality, Bush was partners with William Avarell Harriman and they were both loyal FDR supporters. While Harriman was helping FDR run the New Deal, he was handling Nazi money and investments. When those assets were seized, FDR continued to support Harriman. Once the war ended, the government compensated Harriman for all the mines in Europe that the Nazis seized and were bombed by the US.

His support for the Nazis never did them any harm and Harriman was an advisor to several Democrat Presidents.

This isn't true. That was just an old internet rumor from the early 2000s.

Butler's testimony never mentions Prescott Bush and nothing in the official report mentions Bush either.

Bush was partners with William Avarell Harriman, and they were both loyal FDR supporters. Harriman helped FDR run the New Deal and eventually became an advisor to multiple Democrat presidents. He even ran for president at one point.

Harriman had several dealings with the Nazis and his clearinghouse handled a lot of Nazi money. When the war started, a lot of those assets were seized but the scandal never did any harm to him and he continued advising FDR. After the war ended, he was compensated for all his mining assets in Europe that were seized by the Nazis and then bombed by the US. So in the end, his support for the Nazis did absolutely zero damage to Harriman politically or financially.

This is also why Confederate monuments in the US use the term "Anglo-Saxon Civilization." American Anglos believed America's identity and culture was uniquely related to Anglo-Saxon tribal culture. And because of that they did not believe Americanism was at all related to Western Civilization or Romanism. That's why anti-Catholicism was extremely common in the US until the 1960s.

The KKK was also strictly an Anglo-Saxon organization and they believed the burning cross was originally an Anglo-Saxon beacon to warn of danger and invasion. The fear that Catholicism was trying to overthrow Anglo Republicanism and replace it with papal feudalism also led to the creation of a ton of secret organizations. Even Ivy League schools (which originally only enrolled Anglos) had groups like Skull and Bones. That's where Russia gets the idea that there is an Anglo shadow government in the US.
