In this part we will discuss - *Trump’s opposition within and rule over the capitalist class and their parties.* - *Possible stresses and divisions within the Trump administration and within the Republican Party.* - *Possibilities of a movement from below against Trump.* - *Some general conclusions....*
*Conclusion* Socialists and the US working class have been dealt their greatest defeat since WW II, and probably before then. The nature of this defeat lies in the fact that tens of millions of U.S. workers (and others) voted for a semi-fascist who appealed to racism, ethno-nationalism, male supremacy, homophobia, ableism, and science denialism. Such defeats have historically been met with retreats into fantastical thinking, mysticism, adventurism, search for a new “genius” who will save us, and/or passivity. The socialist forces which actually opposed Trump are tiny. The only path forward is to stare the facts in the face and do the best we can to clarify what is coming. First and foremost that means assessing why Trump won and where he is likely to head. It also means a serious study of how the working class, and socialists within the working class, have arrived at this pass. https://oaklandsocialist.com/2024/11/19/the-coming-trump-regime-chaos-and-repression-part-2/ -- *“Science and socialism go hand-in-hand.” *Felicity Dowling Check out:https:http://oaklandsocialist.com also on Facebook -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
