The pleas of these civil rights and faith leaders will fall on deaf ears. No doubt the FBI is saturated with white nationalists, fascist and fascistic elements. The same can be said for their equivalents internationally.

Referring to the Christchurch gunman, the WSWS wrote, "He boasted that fascist groups are deeply integrated into the state apparatus, the military and the police. He wrote: “The total number of people in these organisations is in the millions… but disproportionately employed in military services and law enforcement. Unsurprisingly ethno-nationalists and nationalists seek employment in areas that serve their nations and community.” [Emphasis added]. Tarrant estimated that “hundreds of thousands” of European soldiers and police belong to “nationalist groups.”

Only the mobilization of the working class on an international scale against capitalism can thwart the rise of the far right. Fascism is capitalism's last line of defense against the revolutionary aspirations of the working class.

P.S You sound more like a glib ambitious, opportunist " operator " than a WORKING CLASS devoted socialist revolutionary. What is YOUR class background ? Do you want to know my CLASS background ? Or does a Marxist scholar find that irrelevant ?

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

How so?

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

You have no clue why Ron Ruggieri has been BANNED ON THE WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE ? And by whom ? BUSINESS MAN David North ( David Green ) " owns " the SEP in the same way that John Henry owns the Boston Red Sox franchise and also " The Boston Globe ". How many anti-Zionist journalists work for John Henry -for more than a day ?
Can any self-respecting SOCIALIST stand to be compared to a smug " Clear " in the Church of Scientology ? Ricky Kagayame ( real name ? ) can reply here.

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

Hi Ron, perhaps if you presented your comments in a more coherent manner as opposed to the stream-of-consciousness method you tend to employ, I would be better able to respond.

I have no idea why you allege to be banned. If you are banned, it means you have violated the very reasonable commenting discussion rules. However, even if you are banned from commenting, you are not banned from reading the website. As well, you are not banned from reaching out via email to the WSWS to resolve whatever issues you have. You are most certainly not banned from creating a new Disqus account to circumvent whatever ban you allege to have on "Ron Ruggieri."

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

You are being DISHONEST . You are acting as a lackey for SEP franchise owner David Green. I was banned NOT for stream of consciousness comments but right after one " Joe Williams " SMEARED me as the " resident Catholic, anti-Semite , Fascist ".
Why were none of my " steam of consciousness " comments REMOVED until very recently. Many had numerous UP votes.
I don't think the working class needs the moral and intellectual guidance of sectarian " Clears " such as you find in the horrible " Church of Scientology ".
On what grounds does David North/ Green complain to the New York Times that FACEBOOK CEO Zuckerberg is CENSORING the social media ( and hurting the World Socialist Web Site ) ?
Only ONE person accused me of " anti-Semitism " at the World Socialist Web Site - " Joe Williams " . He must have been acting with the approval of SEP franchise owner David North/ Green.
I apologize for any STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS display here. Too much James Joyce, I guess.

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

Ron, how am I being dishonest?
What have I said that is not true?
In which article did the exchange with Joe Williams occur?
What did you comment to receive the alleged reply from Joe Williams?
What proof do you have that Joe Williams is a member of the SEP?
What proof do you have that North directed (or "approved") Joe Williams?
What proof do you have that North directed you to be banned?

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

NOTE : If David North is NOT in charge of the World Socialist Web Site , perhaps it has been hijacked by the FBI or Israeli Intelligence ?

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

The WSWS is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

Is David North not in CONTROL of the World Socialist Web Site ?

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

See above.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

Are you an SEP member and clueless about the operations and reputations of David North ? I never met a working class SOCIALIST who sounded like a bourgeois prosecuting lawyer ?
You can check out " Joe Williams " comments at WSWS with a click of the mouse !

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

You are making an accusation, and I am asking you to provide corroborating evidence. The burden of proof is on you, not me.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

I was ACCUSED by the SEP web site of being the " resident Catholic, anti-Semite, Fascist ". Why don't you just give King David a call ? Or does he not condescend to speak to a mere prole ?

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

You have not demonstrated that. You have not provided any proof for your accusations.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

Your FAKE working class VOICE is gone . Now I hear the voice of a STALINIST prosecutor. Tell CULT LEADER David North to take me to court for slandering HIM , HIS HIGHNESS . The Socialist Equality Party is notorious for taking socialist opponents to very bourgeois courts of law.
You are not WELL LIKED on the Left . And remember how Willy Loman in Arthur Miller's play " Death of a Salesman " lamented that he was no longer " well liked " - and that mattered so much in BUSINESS .
Now a then a little Christian humility can benefit even the allies of the New Atheists .

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

Ron, you are unhinged. I am trying to have a calm, reasoned discussion with you and all you are capable of doing is making baseless accusations. The avenues are open for you to rectify whatever grievance you have with the WSWS.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

Is the WSWS and the David Green's Socialist Equality Party registered with the local Chamber of Commerce - or is it like the notorious Church of Scientology TAX EXEMPT ?
The members of the SEP should UNIONIZE !

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

The position of the SEP on unions is clearly stated. They are bankrupt organizations.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

Do YOU speak for the Socialist Equality Party here ? I just posted this YOU TUBE ( SEP ) :
I still have received no explanation why DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST Ron Ruggieri has been BANNED FROM THE WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE . Just recently I received this e-mail from a SEP member
:[ Dear Ron,As a writer for the World Socialist Web Site, I make sure to follow the comments sections under the articles I write.From what I can tell, your comments express 1) a lot of thought and 2) a fair amount of agreement with us.Are you interested in political discussion with the Socialist Equality Party, with an eye to joining?-John Marion ]

One " Joe Williams " smeared me as the " resident Catholic, anti-Semite , Fascist " on your often excellent web site. Should not the SEP leaders be as sensitive to blatant anti-Catholicism as they are to hints of anti-Semitism - an issue complicated very much by Zionist Apartheid Israel.

"The position of the SEP on unions is clearly stated. They are bankrupt organizations." ( what a weird FASCIST position ! )

] You don't shout WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! and scorn ALL the world's RELIGIOUS people. That is the path to the old Stalinist tyranny. You want a Godless , officially ATHEIST social order ? One that destroys intellectual and religious freedom ? If that is the case, the SEP and all the other rather shabby " socialist " sects on the Left will remain as marginal footnotes in the History of Civilization.

Yes , Trotsky was right about this : " THE TRUTH IS AN ORPHAN " ( even in Trotskyism Land ) .

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

I speak as a regular reader of the WSWS. They routinely expose the role of trade unions as obsolete mechanisms through which workers can struggle against the predation of capital. Perhaps you should read the recent articles on UAW VP Norwood Jewell. They are a prime example of how the UAW is essentially an extension of the auto corporations. Your claim that the SEP's position on trade unions is fascist is demonstrably untrue. The SEP advocate for workers to form independent rank-and-file committees, against the unions and the capitalist political parties.

As for the other points in your comment, you have still not provided any evidence for your accusations.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

There were no ACCUSATIONS here just a FACT. After one " Joe Williams " branded me the " resident Catholic, anti-Semite , fascist " I was suddenly BANNED FROM THE WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE .
I was NOT banned by a social media computer program . I want to hear from the Great Oz himself, businessman , SEP cult leader David North / Green. I will not just go way !

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

Facts are only able to be established after the presentation of evidence. You continue to refuse. You have not provided the article "Joe Williams" commented on, you have not provided the comment you gave that provoked "Joe Williams'" alleged response, you have not provided evidence that "Joe Williams" is a member of the SEP, and you have not provided evidence that you were banned on behalf of David North.

You are not banned from reading the WSWS, you are banned from commenting, allegedly. You are not banned from reaching out to the WSWS to resolve the issues you have.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

This " Joe Williams " writes for SEP . A click of the mouse will find you what he had to say about " fascist " Ron Ruggieri . So WHO decides who gets BANNED on the World Socialist Web Site ? Not David North but autocrat " Joe Williams " ?
Do SEP writers get PAID ? Are they UNIONIZED ? are they granted a reasonable amount of intellectual freedom ?
There should be a list of SEP members available to the public. And they should ALL have personal e-mail addresses .
Why did SEP writer John Marion invite me to join the party after noting my many THOUGHTFUL comments ?
Ask Marion to e-mail me about this.

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

The burden of proof is on you. Are you unable to click your mouse to locate the information I seek? This is becoming a tiresome exchange. You are perfectly capable of resolving your issues.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

You absolutely do not sound like an individual who has deep roots in the working class. You sound more like the warden at Juvenile Delinquency Center or a low rent high school vice principal ( UNDER SUSPICION ) .

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

You sound like one who has no regard for the democratic principles of due process and innocent until proven guilty.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

You sound like a very INCOMPETENT lawyer for a weird political cult -like the Church of Scientologist . Are YOU an SEP " clear " ? Give me a REAL church !

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

Any objective analysis of our exchange would show that--if I were a lawyer (I'm not)--I would be quite competent, as I have demonstrated that you are willingly refusing to provide evidence to corroborate your accusations, and therefore, you have no "case" against the WSWS or the SEP.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

This forum is NOT a court of law .And you are no Judge Judy. I just want an EXPLANATION why Ron Ruggieri was BANNED FROM THE WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE after being smeared as the " resident Catholic, anti-Semite, fascist " on the World Socialist Web Site .
There is not a spark of working class socialist in you . Why are you so defensive of the SEP cult if you are not a member ?

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

If you want an explanation, message the WSWS. Here is a link.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

All I ask is that the World Socialist Web Site apologize for the SMEAR of " Joe Williams " . Don't tell me that the SEP does not keep a list of its own membership . You CAN consult with SEP GREAT LEADER David North .
Ron Ruggieri is " our resident Catholic, anti-Semite, Fascist ".
There are some pro-capitalist , pro -Trump Catholics who would not agree that " Catholic = Anti-Semite = Fascist ".
No wonder so many Catholics are turning away from PROGRESSIVE political organizations.
In the next election I will write in much maligned " Mother Teresa " slandered by ex-Trotskyist , pro-Zionist Christopher Hitchens .

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

You have not been able to prove any of your accusations. The burden of proof is on you.

If you want to rectify your situation, whatever it may be, you are free to contact the WSWS, or the member who reached out to you.

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

I hope SEP lawyers get a living wage ! Call Mr. North to straighten this out .

Ricky Kagayame • 5 years ago

Take care.

[ " We are unable to post your comment because you have been banned by World Socialist Web Site. Find out more. "]
That was THE MESSAGE when I tried to respond to Rick Kagayame's excellent comments on the World Socialist Web Site just now .
Why Ricky ?

Ron Ruggieri • 5 years ago

The WSWS , the WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE - a Trotskyist political CULT led by autocrat David North ( in his business career David Green ,owner of a non-union print shop ) - does not qualify as a guide to fighting real or exaggerated fascism .
Can the WORKING CLASS find leadership in a MAKE- A- BUCK capitalist whose hobby is sectarian Marxist squabbling ?
I have frequently made radical SOCIALIST comments on the World Socialist Web Site very similar to what I say here.
After a number of comments critical of Zionism ( Is David Green super-sensitive here ? ) and suggesting that the socialist LEFT build bridges to the world 's millions of religious people , one " Joe Williams " smeared me as the " resident Catholic, anti-Semite, Fascist " on the World Socialist Web Site. So Catholic = anti-Semite = fascist ?
When I suggested " Joe " read my blog going back to 1997 to find any evidence of malicious " anti-Semitism " , he must have needed moral support from big business man SOCIALIST David North ( David Green ) and I got this message worthy of a " Clear " from the Church of Scientology : " YOU ARE BANNED FROM THE WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE ".
None of the pseudo-Trotskyist " Clears " defended my FREE SPEECH rights. David North recently complained to the New York Times that FACEBOOK CEO Zuckerberg was censoring the social media ( He was all for FREE SPEECH , you see ! ) What chutzpah , Mr. Green ) .
Don't trust the TOTALITARIAN left . Their GREAT LEADER is waiting in the wings to be the next Orwellian Big Brother.
FREEDOM IS NOT SLAVERY, Mr. North !
I hope there is one non-Zombie active on the World Socialist Web Site that will confirm my experience of Stalin's ghost.
