RBN's Bernie Bro "revolutionists" sheep-dogging for oligarchy again

Didn't bother watching it, skimmed a few comments instead, and they confirmed that I know these pathetic loudmouthed and pompous dissenting leftists banishing "reformist" Dore- men  creatures like  Nick all too well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK7tESvr3d8 Once a Bernie Bro "revolutionary" always a Bernie Bro "reformist". That's our Bernie, West and Stein-endorsing Nick from RBN...smh And so I'm looking at two awful judges of character and political sheepdogs for oligarchy, and must admit that I'm not surprised that nick is pimping this bourgeois PMC. smh “I myself would be perfectly happy as far as I’m concerned to step aside and allow [Bernie] to run for that position if he truly became a proponent for revolutionary politics inside the Green Party”           - Jill Stein, autocrat.   Dr. Cornel West “is the right person for America,” Stein tells Forbes Newsroom, adding that he is, “a spokesperson for everyday people.” Stein, who sa

Brave Browser's AI sumerizes the Iron Law of Oligarchy:

AI:  The Iron Law of Oligarchy is a political theory first developed by Robert Michels in his 1911 book Political Parties. It asserts that rule by an elite, or oligarchy, is inevitable as an “iron law” within any democratic organization as part of the “tactical and technical necessities” of the organization. This theory suggests that as organizations grow and become more complex, they inevitably become controlled by a small group of individuals who possess the necessary skills, knowledge, and power to make decisions. This group, often referred to as the “oligarchy,” is characterized by its ability to manipulate and control the organization for its own benefit, often at the expense of the majority. The Iron Law of Oligarchy has been applied to various types of organizations, including political parties, trade unions, and corporations. Critics of the theory argue that it exaggerates the extent of leader control and that the trend towards oligarchy is reversible. However, proponents of t

Suddenly, the quiet evening was interrupted by an air-raid siren. The girls quickly hid under a table. It wasn’t the safest place, but they had gotten lucky – their part of the city wasn’t attacked.  Over the next 77 days, these girls and other Belgrade residents became better at hiding from the bombs which threatened to kill them every day. The raids were part of NATO’s military operation against Yugoslavia – a campaign that shook up the world order, and not just in the Balkans. Preconditions for bloodshed The Kosovo problem goes back many centuries. Located in the southwest of Serbia on the border with Albania, the Kosovo region was histori

From Democracy to Pathocracy: The Rise of the Political Psychopath

John W. Whitehead Constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead is president of The Rutherford Institute Twenty years ago, a newspaper headline asked the question: "What's the difference between a politician and a psychopath?" The answer, then and now, remains the same: None. There are surprisingly few differences between psychopaths and some politicians. "Politicians are more likely than people in the general population to be sociopaths. I think you would find no expert in the field of sociopathy/psychopathy/antisocial personality disorder who would dispute this. That a small minority of human beings literally have no conscience was and is a bitter pill for our society to swallow -- but it does explain a great many things, shamelessly deceitful political behavior being one." --Dr. Martha Stout, clinical psychologist and former instructor at Harvard Medical School Twenty years ago, a newspaper headline asked the question: "What's the difference between a po
