Gotta love Steve Bannon with a fifty million dollar net worth pining for a revolution.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

In a real revolution the revolutionaries would take every last penny of it.


Gawd, Deplorable are such suckers...

[TEB]

1. It is probably delusions of grandeur alcoholism

Stephen Colbert did say bannon was voted the most handsome elidgble bachelor at the corner liquor store

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. He wants to destroy the state. The state exists to protect bourgeoisie rights.

Among those rights is the right to private property.

[tomp]

31. that's exactly what it's doing.

why would he want to destroy it?

he's just insane.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. Because he's a hack.

[gordianot]

3. He is revolting.

If seen hanging around playgrounds the police should be called immediately.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

20. And storm sewers. Play grounds and storm sewers.

[dchill]

22. Not to worry if he's seen around a storm sewer...

He just might be going home.

[Initech]

37. Basically anywhere where there's children present.

[Fast Walker 52]

42. Yes he's revolting, not revolutionary. He's just an alcoholic racist libtard asshole

[enough]

4. His basic motivation, not hidden, is global white supremacy. NT

[sharedvalues]

5. The revolution is to destroy America so the rich rule

It's pretty clear - let the poor people kill each other while the rich make off with all the $$.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. The state protects his stuff. Without the state the Tony Sopranos of the world rule.

[sharedvalues]

35. He thinks his Russian and GOP donor allies are the Tony Sopranos

He thinks he is the strong one.

He will learn Americas ideas are stronger than his hate and selfishness.

[sharedvalues]

6. He wants a second Cultural Revolution

Where the elites and intellectuals all get killed, the ethnic majority cleanses out all other people, and the rulers and the wealthy take all the profits.

[beachbum bob]

7. he is pining for a race war....not a revolution

[Ilsa]

9. Bingo. nt

[beachbum bob]

10. the link to the holy bible of those wishing to destroy america....people like bannon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Turner_Diaries

[VOX]

40. Another wretched book gaining popularity w/Bannon & company...

The Camp of the Saints, a 1973 French apocalyptic novel by Jean Raspail
<snip>
The book returned to the bestseller list in 2011, and beginning in 2015 has been frequently referenced by Steve Bannon, former chairman of Breitbart News and current chief strategist to U.S. President Donald Trump.

[beachbum bob]

43. The gunnuts...Survivalist and militias all the same people

And all think alike

[VOX]

44. To them, "The Walking Dead" is a documentary.

And Breitbart is gospel.

[beachbum bob]

45. sad but so true. I have heard these people talk about this crap as if its reality

no way to discuss or debate when you dealing with basically mentally ill people

[calimary]

29. Yep.

[C_U_L8R]

8. You'd think he could afford a shower

and some clothes that fit. Maybe even a gym membership.
What a slob.

[lark]

11. No, he doesn't want a populist revolution.

He wants the 1% to take over the country for their benefit and fuck the people. He's all for Golden Sachs fat cats as he is one. It's workers he disdains and the government that provides them even a shred of support.

[NNadir]

12. Being an ignorant ass serving an ignorant ass he probably has not considered Robespierre's fate.

The United States Constitution has been a functional document for more than two centuries, precisely because the Steve Bannon's of the world were generally not in power.

If he destroys this country, historical reference to him will be very much like that now applied to Robespierre, who was publicly beheaded.

Of course, France suffered greatly when Robespierre was in power, and many innocent people, including one of the founders of the science of chemistry, Lavoisier, lost their lives, so everything that can be done to prevent the Directory wannabe from having his revolution must be done, but if it comes anyway, he will deserve the inevitable outcome.

You make an excellent point.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. The state exists to protect bourgeoisie rights.

One of those rights is to earn lots of money and keep it. Without the protection of the state he's on his own.

[NNadir]

38. I don't agree that this is the only purpose of the state, and the violent fool Bannon is not...

...actually a regular member of the bourgeoisie, but is rather a dangerous radical, but yes, a civil society is one that, among many other important functions, protects that subset of its better off citizenry from violent and arbitrary expropriation.

Bannon will not do well against a mob fueled by pitchforks. If Robespierre, who actually had real power of life and death did not do well, neither will Bannon.

I deplore the idea of violent revolution - and Bannon is clearly a violent man only partially suppressing his darkest desires - but if one comes, he will surely be among its victims.

Every member of the Trump circle, from his political supporters and voters, to his actual inner circle, including Trump himself and his corrupt core of classic nepotists, are working against their own long term interests. Trump himself, an intellectual and physical weakling, may die before being made to answer for his crimes, but many of his circle will not.

[dalton99a]

13. If this was 1789 in Paris, he'd be eligible for a shave

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. they are super hypocrites. they know exactly what they are doing.

[Adrahil]

16. But he doesn't want a "revolution." He want a collapse of the administrative state.

In short he wants want happened in Russia in the early 90's, more or less. A collapse of the administrative state would allow the complete domination of the plutocracy, just like Putin did.

[MADem]

18. With that much cash you'd think he'd be able to afford a bath, a shave and clean clothing.... nt

[Paladin]

19. Sounds like he and fellow limousine revolutionary Susan Sarandon ought to get together.

There's a nice image for a Sunday......

[BainsBane]

21. Susan Sarandon is another

Exactly same thing.

[Buns_of_Fire]

24. I've given up trying to think up a suitable marinade.

He's like a banana -- once you peel 'em and throw away the bone, there's nothing left.

[dchill]

25. Bannon's Goal: White Supremacist Oligarchy.

And he's totally not into compromise.

[KittyWampus]

26. It's bothering the heck out of me that the White Supremacist connection to Trump/Russia

has disappeared.

[dchill]

27. IKR. It's like the media are uncomfortable talking about it.

[KittyWampus]

28. They never brought up the Southern Strategy in talking politics. Trump just stopped

using dog whistles and got a bullhorn.

[SunSeeker]

30. Trump went from calling Mar A Lago the Winter White House to the "Southern White House."

Yep, he's using a bullhorn.

[sharedvalues]

36. Media are uncomfortable talking about anything by themselves

They'd much rather repeat others' words because then the media take no risk - if the media are criticized they then blame the person they are repeating.

For the media to actually talk about the truth, regardless of what others are saying, means risk for the media. For past 20 years for profit media have been acting like cowards. Luckily in last six months some, like Tapper and Lauer and a few others, have grown backbones and now talk about the truth a little.

[delisen]

33. same as a Sarandon Socialist-No Personal Risk Revolutionaries. Their

political stance is "Let's you and him/her risk everything and fight" while my personal financial portfolio grows bigger every day.

[GoCubsGo]

34. Be careful what you ask for, you asshole.

You might get it.

[Elwood P Dowd]

39. A slovenly version of Martin Bormann

[VOX]

41. Every time I see Bannon's image, my gag reflex is sorely tested.

Seriously, I feel physically ill when I see a photo or video of this unhealthy, dirty, smelly, blotchy, gin-blossomed bottom-feeder. He is repulsive in every regard.

Ever notice how 45, his close advisors and cabinet are ALL failures as whole human beings? That many of the major attributes that comprise maturity, emotional health and balance are just missing in these "people"? All of them? They're hyper aggressive, shoot from the hip, shamelessly repeat blatent lies, and show no genuine emotion? And that they all share an incapacity to laugh at themselves?
