It doesn't mention it in the article but the administration cancelled her visa without notifying her 5 days before she was arrested. This is part of the reasoning they were using to detain her. Is her visa re-instated? If not, then she is now illegal and has been effectively deported, nonetheless.

Not the reason Kamala wasn't elected.
People want change. Kamala did not represent that. We are at a point where people will choose a fucking orange clown NPD if it means change. Dems have to put up or shut up.
This is on them as much as it is on Trump and his followers. Those people always exist. It's on the alternatives in politics to offer a better option. They have not for some time now.
Not to mention that the dems have actively subverted anyone who steps forward to offer said alternative.
Yes, fascists are insecure morons. Should go without saying.
Particularly the NFL, which operates as a cartel with monopoly on what is effectively a blood sport.
That's Marx's conclusion. Again, he did not see what happened in the 20th century and revolutionary socialism failed catastrophically. We will not get the chance to try that again. Cry into your copy of Capital all you want.
Socialism exists in forms that are not pure. Every co-op is socialism existing within capitalism. And they are worth celebrating their successes. Instead of adhering to some rigid doctrine that has failed to make any sustained progress for two centuries now.
Marx never got to see socialism implemented. When discussing its implementation, he is not a good source. When discussing the issues of capitalism, he is great. This absolutist, primitive thinking on the matter only serves the bourgeoisie.
No. Scandinavia has national bargaining agreements. It's more socialist than it is capitalist. Yours is a dumb reactionary definition.
There are plenty of socialist policies in place around the world. Just like there are plenty of capitalist policies. There are no purely capitalist or socialist countries.
You can't look at Scandinavia and America and say they are the same thing. It's a different mix and Scandinavia is much more socialist leaning and has much better outcomes.
Almost every country on the planet is a mixed economy. There are no pure capitalist or socialist countries that I know of.
We didn't know about Auschwitz until we liberated it and he was critical of them in the 30s.
It's a good example of how right pull happens. Until you're exterminating people, fascists won't be happy and until then centrists won't care.
You're exactly right. Which is why my point is that in our two party system, the "left" has to put up an inspiring candidate to beat him. Hitler and Trump are essentially the same archetype, rejected narcissists who prey on people's fear by feeding them scapegoats. About 30% of the population has narcissistic, authoritarian sentiments at any given time. So for such a person to come to power, they only need to suppress the opposition below a plurality of 30%.
In Nazi Germany, Hitler came to power because the left was fractured by bickering among the many factions. They refused to unite into a coalition to address the problems of the Great Depression.
In MAGA America, we have the two party system which prevents voter fracturing, but the liberals are refusing to embrace the need for change and thus suppressing their own voter base below the 30% by platforming the status quo while people are suffering and unhappy.
