But I don't know if the "Socialist Progressives" forum exists here anymore. I think socialists recognize the truth that this country is a plutocracy much more than centrist Democrats. I'll look at your YT video once you post it.

For what it's worth, Tennessee Williams, I believe even before Reagan became president, called this country a "Babylonian plutocracy". Not sure what he meant by Babylonian, but the plutocracy part is correct. Plutocrats have extreme power in this country and will be causing much suffering to millions especially in the upcoming 4 years.
