    And so the Reichstag stands, unburnt. I am getting a bit lost in the historical parallels, it doesn't make much sense anymore, those who have power don't act on it, and those that need power don't have it, I guess we're doing a reverse socialism from each according to their incompetences to each according to their impotences? At least later historians will have fun with this period

      Imagine if the Bolsheviks stormed the Winter Palace, took a few selfies, took a few souvenirs, and then were escorted out by the palace guards.

      This event is like a more grand but also even less successful Beer Hall Putsch, quite fitting for both America and Trump. The fascists are still missing some pieces - A somewhat competent leader, a (worse) crisis of capital, the threat of socialism to get the bourgeoisie on board, etc, etc. Come back in 4 - 8 years.
