Under the guidance and massive supply of money by Elon Musk, Donald Trump won the elections in 2024. Ever since the electoral democratic systems came into being in the world, such big tycoons with total disrespect for democratic principles never won an election in any country. In America, which remained the global model for the constitutional democracy, no leader of Trump’s wealth and with Musk kind of megalomaniac tycoon won an election, that too for the second time.

OrientationThis article is about the differences between the micro psychology of liberals and the macro psychology of communists. Differences include: how society and the individual is configured; the impact of capitalism on personal life; how the mind-body relationship is conceived; how the objective and subjective worlds are integrated; how politics impacts personal life and how research should be conducted. These differences are not self-evident or easy for liberals to understand.

Trump’s opening fascist tirade, during which I kept picturing him with a little moustache and straight arm salute, was designed to engender fear. He wanted to make it clear to all that you join in his mass campaign of jingoism and racism or you will be a victim.
