The impeachment inquiry is not just a conflict between two capitalist political parties; it is an effort of the mainstream of the US capitalist class to regain control over its presidency. That is how it relates to Trump's policies in regards to both Ukraine and Syria. Socialists are tending to be too conservative and fail to recognize the degree to which the mainstream of the US capitalist class has largely lost control over their presidency. "Although it came first, the Nancy Pelosi-led impeachment inquiry cannot be understood without understanding Trump’s troop withdrawal from Syria. "For over a year now, mainstream capitalist commentators have been railing against Trump’s attacks on what they call the rule of law. They have continually warned that “our democracy” is at danger. These comments have not been made about previous presidents, and understanding them is essential to understanding the present political crisis." https://oaklandsocialist.com/2019/10/20/impeachment-ukraine-and-syria/ -- *“In politics, abstract terms conceal treachery.” *from "The Black Jacobins" by C.
