Occupy founder GETS IT.
BBC talks with Micah White, one of the founders of Occupy, who has some understanding of reality. He's breaking out of the pluponent idiocy.

Semiquoting:

In a certain sense Trump IS the Occupy candidate. He actually got money out of politics. ... The left must realize that the revolutionaries are on the Right and the Left is anti-revolutionary. ... Donald Trump's victory should embolden us. It is possible to imagine a revolutionary movement taking power because we just saw it happen.

BINGO. BINGO. BINGO.

You are PRO-WAR and PRO-GLOBALIST and PRO-CORPORATE protesters. You are PLUPONENTS, explicitly employed by Soros, agitating for even more war and poverty and inequality. Trump's voters are AGAINST Soros and war and poverty and inequality.

Micah White (at least in this interview) doesn't offer a new vision and doesn't say what the goals of a left-populist movement should be. He will have to face some uncomfortable realities. He will have to embrace FACTS about blacks and whites. He will need to figure out that poor people, ESPECIALLY black poor people, need FIRM POLICE AND FIRM SOCIAL VALUES. The Left has been killing cops and killing religion and killing culture for 50 years, which has DESTROYED poor American blacks and empowered a handful of (mostly Jamaican) rich blacks.

Even more uncomfortable, he will need to figure out that Die-Versity and Gender Fluids and Immigration and Environmentalism are SLAUGHTERING poor people. Education is not the solution because education is not the problem. Henry Ford was the solution, and Fordism can still return to solve the same problems.

Again, Trump is generally on the side of Fordism, and is already taking steps to bring back jobs that a poor MAN can do. We don't know how serious he is, and we especially don't know how long the Leftist establishment will let him live.

If Micah White is serious, he should try to restrain the Leftist establishment and focus on the actual interests of actual poor people. When Trump moves in the correct direction, grab the correct direction, pull it even harder, and rebrand it without destroying it.
