Republican Party the most dangerous organization in human history

What does the Elsworth Toohey of today have to say.
The republicans are dangerous because they are filled with RINOS. Not because of the capitalist charade.

You bought the GOP bullshit about Lincoln because it's convenient to your failed beliefs, Hitlery's bullshit about everything she can't recall because it's convenient to your failed beliefs, and you conclude today's GOP is worse than Mao's 30 million murders and Stalin's 20 million murders. You need remedial math and a big dose of astaxanthin.
Mao and Stalin are the prototypes. They will determine what is the greater good. Like Warren and Pelosi or Schummer and Castro or Chavez now Madura.
Chomsky thinks we are more dangerous than the Republican Party given the criteria he used. He is opposed to industrialization and a refusal to engage in collectivist sacrifice. He has now added refusal to submit to climate hysteria.
So if we are going down that road, perhaps FIRE is the deadliest thing as far as killing life, or perhaps drought. Kind of goes off of the subject of "dangerous organization" however.
Who wants to be ruled anyway? So that leaves out the Democrats and their majority rules belief. Who likes DEA, EPA, Patriot Act, etc. leaving out a lot of desire for the Republicans. But who gives much credence to what Chomsky says anyway?
Chomsky is wrong IMHO on two premises.
1. Politicians have a huge impact on macro trends in labor rates and return on equity..
2.The trends in recent decades have been unusually bad compared to other mutli-decade periods in history.
I call them premises because he used them as the basis for his arguments without explaining why.
I like that he brought up the global warming and nuclear weapons represent a grave threat to humankind that we often ignore. But he talks as if there is a set of policies that solidly addresses them.
I found his claim about wage insecurity offensive, completely taking Greenspan out of context. He must know it.
What I came away with is how do we knock out those statist principles. He starts out with this claim the economy has gotten worse for many works over the past 30 years and immediately goes to which type of politician can solve that problem. I wish we could get away from that.
Agree that his conclusions are completely wrong, CG. Politicians created the problems that led to poor economic performance (along with the banking cartel created by corrupt politicians.) Literally, the problem will be solved by no politicians.
I have long felt this way. Republican (RINOS) are only slightly less Liberal than the Democrats. Marching onward towards Socialism if anything only marginally slower than the Democrats full fledged stampede towards it.
While so far there have been FAR less killed in the name of Republicanism than say Mao, Stalin or a whole list of other dictators names. Modern Republicans and Democrats are leading America in the direction that could potentially have similar numbers, and this is why I believe that the Republican party is the most dangerous political party in the world today.
I would also agree better education improves anyone's chances of making good choices.
Republicans run the gambit on actions and education, just as other groups. In fact from my observation it seems that the least educated political party is the Democrats as the vast majority of their base are the minorities. With the Republicans most at least have a high school education and a little college and while neither high school nor college provide the education that they should. It is still far better than the average Democrat who is unable to do the math to figure out if they are being overcharged at the register.
I will agree, though, that when Norm Chomsky calls out something as bad for humanity, humanity should embrace that 'bad' thing tightly and hold on to it as if it were Platinium, Gold or Diamonds
