I small faction attempted a coup on July 20, 1944 (using Operation Valkyrie).

There will be contingency plans in the U.S. ruling class for a coup if Trump cannot control the growing mass opposition.

Aren't they just clearing house?

On 30 June/1 July 1934 the Nazi government in Germany carried out the "Night of the Long Knives" to kill Röhm and the leadership Sturmabteilung (SA), which was part of the Nazi movement!

Stephen Miller and others study this history!

U.S. miltary oath:
- "that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;"

Surely "wage theft" is petty larceny compared to the real problem?

Workers are paid less than the value they create.
The difference is the source of profit.

So how do workers consume ALL the products of their labour? They don't. Capital investment is needed which drives labour out of production.
