I don't think that Trump's apparent proto-fascist political trajectory
is unique to him, a singularity. I think the capitalist system is in
crisis and the capitalist class generally is moving toward
'fascist-type solutions'. Leading capitalist politicians (and some of
the billionaires) are in lockstep with Trump, i.e. Republican
Congressman Tom Cotton ("Trump backers say he’s not undermining
confidence in election"
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/27/cotton-trump-transfer-power-422169).
It isn't just Trump, it is the direction the system is heading; some
capitalist politicians who opposed Trump in 2016 are now supporters.
It is and will be the class struggle that determines fundamental
political developments in/of the capitalist system. How does voting
for "nothing will change" Biden (of the other capitalist party)
increase the political strength of the working class? Imagine that
there is a political crisis coming out of
the election process. Who will working people who have voted for
Biden look to to resolve the crisis? We have to build independent
working class political strength as best we can. For this
presidential election the best opportunity we have to explain, argue
for and work in this direction is through publicly supporting the
Walker/Hawkins Green Party campaign.
