Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.

anti-Christianity

Alrighty, but you realize this applies to all your supporters, your cabinet members, all your sycophantic gun waiving morons right? RIGHT!?!

This guy realises fuck all. His brain is mush, and his body is so fucked that he's glad when he only shits himself 7 times in a day.

The disgusting orange turd is only alive through the power of his hatred for everyone and everything. He's going down fast and he's destroying as much of it as he can while he can.

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion

This means anyone who wants to tear down separation of church and state is a terrorist. …. right?

@MHLoppy I can't believe we are doing this all over again. I thought we were done with the "red scare" generations ago.

what a great article! a breath of fresh air and I suspect that in writing it, the author just added themselves to a list....

Oh, comrade Ben Burgis has probably been on a list long before MAGA came to power.

"support for the overthrow of the United States Government," is also one pre-crime per that report. That's reflection right there.

So Marx and Trotsky seemed to be against individual murdering of factory owners et alia. Does that imply that they would've been against the atrocities of Communist states that were perpetrated in their name, or would that have been fine because it was done by the masses in some sense?

Neither saw it happen in great numbers: Marx died before any of his ideas manifested properly, and Trotsky of course was murdered by Stalin in 1940. Holodomor and Soviet Union purges had happened already at that point, but perhaps Trotsky might've thought that those were just the evil of Stalin instead of being a more general mistake of his whole ideology. People tend to think that their political philosophy cannot do bad things.

"support for the overthrow of the United States Government,"

Ahh the crime he tried to commit a few years back. Can't have anyone else ever try the same thing.
