Marxism/Bannonism

As most of us expected Trump clearly can't think his way out of a wet paper bag so we're left with a Jewish Islamaphobe and racist improbably named "Miller" and an Irish-Catholic autocrat, Steve Bannon, who wants to disempower the evil empire in Washington in favor of a more decentralized state, his dictatorship of the proletariat. 

The intervening steps are Stalinesque, however, with an American workforce turned into serfs by Bannon's party, which is incidentally also responsible for causing a revolutionary redistribution of wealth, unwittingly served by their savior, Bannon, who will decentralize everything in their favor just like Stalin and Mao and Lenin. Oh, right.

Too often the serf's-eye view of this (RIP) was from the bottom of a hole in the ground. Eggs must be broken, I guess. This casts the Putin connection in a different light. Bannon and Miller must be admirers. If Bannon's "deconstruction" looks like Lenin's and Mao's we are in for a ride. But the peasants are getting restless in Republican town halls. 

For the haters of political correctness I have a suggestion: tar and feathers for any right-winger or lumpen-aristocrat ducking the electorate and limiting voter involvement. Bannon looks feathery already and newly-hatched. We should practice on him. As one of the serfs he claims to serve I want to send a message to this arrogant misanthrope.
