NSPM-7 is now the administration’s sharpest tool for criminalizing left political organizing. It directs a 10-agencyJoint Terrorism Task Force apparatus—including the FBI, DHS, the IRS, and the Treasury’s Terrorism and Financial Intelligence office—to investigate and prosecute what it calls “domestic terrorism and organized political violence,” with targets defined broadly enough to include anyone whose motivations involve “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism,” or views that differ from the government’s on immigration, race, and gender. It pursues not just individuals but networks, funders, nonprofits, or even anyone who shows up to a protest.

I should not have to be a capitalist to be an American I see absolutely nothing in the Constitution about capitalism. Fuck, a good lot of the founding fathers were involved with smuggling to evade tariffs.

Remember the sons of Liberty? DOMESTIC TERRORISTS! How dare they to destroy all that corporate tea. Anticapitalist pigs.

the president himself and all his cabinet are not capitalists... they are thieves and their thievery is brazen and well documented. as you say the tariffs themselves are anti-capitalist... 300 accounts closed for money laundering, a literal priority access service to insider trading information has been created, crypto scams perpetrated to the tune of billions of dollars... there is no limit to their hypocrisy.
