Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. Trump signed a national security policy memorandum called “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” known as NSPM-7. Such national security directives are far less common than executive orders. Where the latter tend to direct day-to-day government operations, the former can set sweeping new policies across the federal government’s military, law enforcement, and intelligence bureaucracies. As the name NPSM-7 indicates, this is only the seventh such directive Trump has issued since taking office.

As journalist Ken Klippenstein reports, NPSM-7 “directs a new national strategy to ‘disrupt’ any individual or groups ‘that foment political violence,’ including ‘before they result in violent political acts.’” Deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, who’s long been one of the most zealously authoritarian members of the Trump administration, crowed that the moment marks “the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism.”

it seems obvious that this is just another big club maga is using to bash/silence left-wing criticism. this is a major increase in fascism-in-action. the first amendment is at this point, moot.

Does this mean Trump can have people arrested for losing faith in capitalism?

I believe in its current state, capitalism has rotted so much that it's become completely incompatible with the greater good.

It means you cannot speak out against anything that has to do with the Government or businesses ripping people off,
Because it would be anti capitolism. Even if its is wrongful . I think ?

There was a movie made about a Pre- crimes dept. or office. I think it starred Tom Cruise. Becareful soon We may have a thought crimes dept. Using your internet ,search results and things of that sort ,perhaps soon?
