>From "If Communism Is Dead, Why Is Trump Still Fighting It?" by Nikos Mottas:
At a time when American capitalism commands the world's largest military machine, dominates the global financial system and concentrates unprecedented wealth in the hands of a tiny oligarchy, the ruling class presents itself as a victim supposedly threatened by reformists whose program rarely extends beyond higher taxes on billionaires, stronger labor protections or expanded public healthcare. Such hysteria reveals neither confidence nor strength. ... As long as exploitation remains the foundation of society, capitalism will continue producing the very force capable of overthrowing it: an organised, class-conscious working class. https://www.idcommunism.com/2026/07/if-communism-is-dead-why-is-trump-still-fighting-it.html If DSA is content to fight for billionaire taxes and expanded public healthcare, it will join a long and honorable tradition of progressives and left liberals. But the latter do not claim to be socialist. DSA uses the word. Ask yourself, *how often (if ever) does a prominent DSA figure like Mamdani spell out any substantial content to "socialism" and how they propose to get to it?* -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
