  • Huey Long Seen As A Threat To FDR

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2021 11:39am EST

    FDR was an establishment Democrat. We had to terrify the political establishment and build unusual coalitions in the Great Depression to get anything done. When Huey Long was assassinated in 1935, the Share Our Wealth Society had 7.5 million members and 27,000 clubs spread around the country. He didn’t have social media. If Huey Long […]

  • Make The Game Stop

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 1st 2021 11:07am EST

    What I don’t understand is why Dems AREN’T pushing for $2000 checks. Yes you can argue that a new payment added to an old payment makes a sum total of 2k and thus “counts” but since we all agree direct payments have been inadequate why not just demand 2k instead?— Nathan J Robinson (@NathanJRobinson) February […]

  • Thirties Nostalgia

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2021 8:52pm EST

    We spent several months last year on the 1920s. I’ve been enjoying continuing my research into the 1930s. It has been interesting reading about Huey Long and Father Coughlin. We haven’t seen their style of politics in our lifetimes.

  • Jacobin: The Case Against The PMC

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 31st 2021 5:22pm EST

    Interesting videos. I’ve been enjoying the series. Last summer, I began thinking about this after reading Michael Lind’s articles Hub City Riot Ninjas and The Double Horseshoe Theory of Class Politics. I also spent a lot of time reading through the Pew typology surveys and Voter Study Group reports. “Left” and “Right” are illusions. The […]

  • Gallup: Most Say Reducing Cost of Health Care High Priority for Biden

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 30th 2021 10:37pm EST

    There’s a word for those who want an alliance with the Far Right: collaborators.— spencer sunshine (@transform6789) January 29, 2021 Chip Berlet call Rightist outreach to the Left a “suckerpunch.” The Right says we should join forces to defeat a common enemy (albeit by dropping concerns about racism, patriarchy, antisemitism, etc); in reality it will […]

  • Luke O’Brien: Ricky Vaughn Was Like a Field Commander In The Assault On Our Democracy

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 30th 2021 12:06pm EST

    The infamous pro-Trump Twitter troll “Ricky Vaughn” arrested. He was “like a field commander in this long going longstanding assault on our democracy,” says @lukeobrien who helped unmask the Middlebury graduate behind “Vaughn.” pic.twitter.com/PJZMXgf2FS— Donie O’Sullivan (@donie) January 30, 2021 Ricky Vaughn shared saucy memes on the internet in the 2016 election and accumulated a […]

  • NY Times Criticizes Joe Biden’s Executive Orders Blitzkrieg

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2021 12:51pm EST

    It is not because they disagree. Neoliberal Joe’s team came in too hot, too hard, too fast. The progressive base was thrilled by his flurry of executive orders on woke, trans, climate and open borders.

  • Anti-Populists Are Stewing Over Wall Street Uprising

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2021 10:19am EST

    Did you hear the news? A group of Redditors have figured out a way for small investors to cost hedge funds tens of billions of dollars and have exposed our rigged economic system which favors the rich and powerful. Something like 75% of the country is cheering them on. Not everyone is happy though. Thomas […]

  • Pew: Economy and COVID-19 Top The Public’s Policy Agenda For 2021

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 28th 2021 9:14pm EST

    In the last nine days, the Biden administration has rolled out 40 executive orders to address what it calls “America’s four converging crises.” These “four crises” are climate, race, health and the economy. What are the priorities of the American people? Is there a disconnect between Neoliberal Joe’s agenda and the mood of the country? […]

  • Why I support Nikki Haley as the 2024 Republican Nominee

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 28th 2021 6:34pm EST

    I will not be voting for the Democrat or the Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential election. I plan to support the National Justice Party’s nominee, unless an another true nationalist made it onto the ballot somehow who I saw as a more viable option. I am optimistic about the long term future of the […]

  • Politico: Twitter’s Priceless Gift To Biden

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 28th 2021 5:29pm EST

    I didn’t vote for Donald Trump. I didn’t care for Ricky Vaughn either. At the same time, I don’t think that Big Tech should be able to wield its monopoly power to censor Joe Biden’s political enemies. I don’t think the Justice Department should be in the business of arresting Hillary Clinton’s enemies as retaliation […]

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 26th 2021 9:36pm EST

    Michael Lind makes some good points in this article. Tablet Mag: “In the third decade of the 21st century, the Social Register still exists, there are still debutante balls, polo and lacrosse are still patrician sports, and old money families still summer at Newport. But these are fossil relics of an older class system. The […]

  • President Biden’s Screw Up On $2,000 Checks Shows He Is No FDR

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 26th 2021 12:08pm EST

    This is a no brainer. 80% of the country agrees on $2,000 stimulus checks. Democrats gained control of the Senate because of the popularity of that issue and did it in Georgia of all places. This is such an obvious way to build political support and momentum that it should be the first order of […]

  • President Biden Signs Executive Order On American Manufacturing

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 25th 2021 4:56pm EST

    This is the tragedy of the Biden administration. “Buy American” day is already completely overshadowed by a buffet of White upper middle class professional cultural war stuff like Big Tech censorship and Antifa riots and transsexuals in the military and replacing Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. The expansion of the SNAP […]

  • Sen. Josh Hawley: It’s Time To Stand Up Against The Muzzling of America

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 25th 2021 8:56am EST

    I agree with Sen. Josh Hawley on standing up to Big Tech. I’ve been blacklisted from countless Big Tech platforms – PayPal, Stripe, and Google Pay, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube – including those that I never used because of my populist political beliefs. I was banned from YouTube which I only used to watch history […]

  • Why McConnell Dumped Trump

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 24th 2021 10:05am EST

    I’m of two minds on impeaching Trump a second time. The New Yorker: “For four years, McConnell and others in the establishment wing of the Republican Party embraced the conceit that they could temper Trump’s behavior, exploit his popularity, and ignore the racist, violent, and corrupt forces he unleashed. Ornstein observed that McConnell, in a […]
