"Steve Bannon, Trump's Top Guy, Told Me He Was 'A Leninist' Who Wants To Destroy the State "

"... “I’m a Leninist,” Bannon proudly proclaimed.

Shocked, I asked him what he meant.

“Lenin,” he answered, “wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.” Bannon was employing Lenin’s strategy for Tea Party populist goals. He included in that group the Republican and Democratic Parties, as well as the traditional conservative press."

(With thanks to Jonathan Alter who was a guest on Lawrence O'Ds program tonight and spoke about this statement of Bannon's.)

Our nation is being systematically destroyed from within. Every government department has somebody in place who will destroy it. However, I don't buy the Lenin analogy. Trump and Bannon are not communists. The are white supremacist narcissists who don't have a clue what it is like to be a human being.
